Is it really DIY if you get help

I enjoy DIY projects because I get a lot of pride knowing I did a project myself.  There are times that that DIY project can be a lot harder than it looks.  There may be a project that may be too hard to tackle and  you need professional trades people to help.  You can order the  materials and become the product manager on job, but its no longer DIY if you get a pro to finish the job.   It is hard to acknowledge when a job is too much to handle; but its better to get help now so  that you don't pay more in the long run for a DIY disaster.
