I am pretty sure we all agree small business owners need to outsource some of the skills and resources they don't possess themselves. Perhaps they don't have the time to complete all the tasks!
I see a trend of small business owners just hiring anyone who answers their call and reacts to their problem. As a coach, I see more "just call someone and fix the problem" than building a team of professionals (around you) which you can count on and they will return your calls, share ideas with you, collaborate with you, and refer client's and other professionals to each other because you share a mutual trust and respect for each other.
My message is to build relationships with the professionals you work with, share the same values and goals, feel a connection, and create a working partnership, which is a win-win for all. More and more "accountability partners" come out of this relationship building.
The creation of a professional team evolves over the life of your business, creating a static environment of constant re-assessment and re-evaluation of your vision and mission statements.
If you want to take this further, you can create an "affiliate program" to pay and receive business and revenue, as a result of your outgoing referrals or referrals sent to you (by someone on your professional team). This subject is easier discussed over the phone or in person, than through a blog.
Look for my article about this subject with more information and solutions in the next week.
