My difference, like many others in my position, is that being self-employed means I have to be the marketeer, salesman, developer and customer service - I've not yet got the point where anything can take care of itself. To that end, your comments about it being subjective are spot on. Thanks for your comments Craig.

Finding the balance and pay-off from investing in yourself is a tough choice to make. The older I get, the more inclined I am to settle with what I am good at and what I am not and just outsource it. In terms of growing a business, the value relationship is in the sale rather than the deliverable. To that end, I have invested my resource in getting better at selling. It's an 'art' that is very much required for any business, large or small. The 'doing' can take care of itself. But, I also appreciate it's subjective. What works for one, is not for the other. The big question is, what is the intention... short-term and long-term. That should determine the focus. Gary, I concur with what you say.
