If you are tackling a big project for your client and it gets over your head, bring in the pros from Dover—people who have more subject-matter expertise than you do. You should never feel ashamed or intimidated about seeking help. It happens in the medical field all the time. For example, a general practitioner treats an illness or injury to only a certain point and then passes the baton to a specialist with a deep but narrow range of expertise. It’s the same in business. Everyone has limitations on expertise. No one is an expert in everything. Ask for help when you need it.
