DIY is not for everyone!
DIY!

Now unless you’re under a rock you know that DIY means do it yourself. Here’s the issue with DIY………….
Most people don’t know when to DIY or LSEDI (let someone else do it).
Here’s an example:
The glider part of the zipper came off the window of my convertible last week. I figured how hard could it be to put back on. So one night last week, along with a friend, I spent an hour trying to get the stupid glider back on. As darkness was approaching we stopped.
This past Friday afternoon I attempted to fix it again. This time I broke the glider (see picture). So after about 45 minutes I drove to the fabric store to buy a glider replacement. They didn’t have one. I went home. At this point I’m about 2 1/2 hours into this project.
Saturday morning I called the place that put the top on the car when I had to replace it a few years ago. They referred me to an upholstery shop.
I left my house at 10:00 this morning. At 10:20 the zipper was fixed. Cost: $5
DIY is not for everyone and not for all projects. What problem/project are you working on right now, spinning your wheels, trying to prove to someone or yourself that you can DO IT YOURSELF.
Stop already. Learn from my stupidity. That’s why I’m here.
Or better yet, who in your organization probably has the expertise to help you, but you’ve not considered seeking their help because “that’s not the job they were hired to do?”
