My dad taught me how to fish, cause - every man should know how to fish, no?
How about stuff like simple electric work? How about laying tile? How about putting up dry wall? Painting, etc?
I wish I knew the proper way to do electric work. I would love to install a few more electrical outlets in my basement but I rather not bring in an electrician to do the work. I mean, it is a small job and why call someone in to simple install an outlet?
Yea, I know the "Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" applies to a lot of things, such as electrical work. At least, I can pay an electrician - thankfully.
But honestly, I may read up on doing electrical work myself. I bet my wife would love that. ;-)

I've learned the hard way that paying a professional for such tasks is money well spent :.)

Certain things are best left to professionals... like Taxes, Electrical, Mud and Tape on drywall, and SEO.
I say, spend your time on your already successful business, and use the proceeds to hire the other stuff out.
By nature, we all want to learn new things, but I've had to focus on learning skills I might use more than a few times.
Take care.

Your Dad taught your twin brother how to do electrical work. You just weren't interested at the time. At least now you can pay for it.....
