If you had a lot of money you could buy all the parts to build a rocket ship. A little more digging and you could even find a set of directions.
Then you could get to work. But even with all the parts…and even if you followed all the directions to the letter, would you trust your rocket ship building enough to climb in for take off?
Probably not.
The thing you’re missing is someone who knows how to build a rocket ship. Someone you can trust and who trusts their own work to achieve lift off.
And if you were in charge of finding this trusted person to build the rocket, would you seek out and choose the cheapest one? I hope not…I hope you’re not looking for a deal…it’s too important.
Two things from this metaphor…
You can’t build your career alone. Even if you’re smart. Even if you know how.
It’s probably not worth it to hire the cheap one. You’ll save money but pay so much more in other ways.
