It is not just because you think that you can save a lot of money, but it is also because the novelty of your new venture excites you and you want to do everything on your own. However, the novelty could wear off pretty soon if you try to do everything yourself, especially when you may not have the skills to do so. You will eventually put your business in jeopardy.
