Go it alone, or get some help? Every entrepreneur has to ask this question, and the answer isn’t always obvious.
It’s Q&A Wednesday, and one listener is weighing the ups and downs of full independence. When you “bootstrap” your business (as we did), you have total freedom, and total control. No investors, no loans, nada. You answer to no one, and can take your business in any direction you wish.
