Los empresarios en sus inicios, pretenden hacer todo y terminan haciéndolo porque no se rodean de personas especialistas que asesoren en aspectos que el empresario no domina y además no dispone de tiempo.
Los empresarios exitosos se rodean de especialistas (Abogados, Contadores, Mercadeo, Comunicación), en las diferentes temáticas que no dominan, bajo análisis de factores de costo de oportunidad y costo-beneficio.
En consecuencia, los empresarios consideran el pago de tales asesorías como una INVERSIÓN de retorno asegurada.
