Sometimes the only way you are going to get things done is to do them yourself. Of course some people do not have the abilites to where so many hats but if you can do it, do it for as long as possible. At least you know where everything is.

Randy Bachman is a certified accountant, by trade. His Dad told him he needed something to fall back on. Each band member was paid a salary, and the rest was sent home to pay bills. He told them to stick it out, and he would make them all rich, which he did, mostly by taking advantage of tax loopholes, and investing wisely.
