Shortly after you start your online business, you'll discover that you can't do everything by yourself. You need a team. The next thing you're going to question is who you should hire, what skills they should have, and how you can build a team when you really can't afford to spend a boatload of extra cash?
These are all great questions and in this video from James Wedmore, you're going to get the answers.
You can't go solo on this one. Well, you can. You have the ability. But you'll either move too slowly or burn out too fast if you try to wear all the hats in your business. You need help. Even if you are technically capable of doing all those parts of your business, you will need the talents, energy and time provided by other people. And, the sooner you get it, the better.
Plus, it may motivate you when you understand that top online business owners have teams. Almost without exception, the top online business entrepreneurs credit building a team to help them implement ideas and marketing tasks as the catalyst that took them from ordinary to extraordinary in terms of business results.
So where do you start?
So where do you start? With the popularity and viral nature of video in marketing, you may believe that the first person you should hire is a camera person. If you have made any videos at all for your business then you know that filming can be awkward when you're trying to be the cameraman, the director, and the actor, all in one.
It's not recommended that you pay someone to help you film, at least not at first.
While creating video is important, there are other on-going items that are just as important. As a result, a VA, or virtual assistant, is the best choice to begin building your team.
So what should this Virtual Assistant do?
That's the right question to ask! And the answer can be found when you evaluate your current business.
First ask yourself - what are you doing now that you hate doing?
Next, do a little self evaluation and find out where your strengths are. If you're not sure what that is, then you should take the Myers Briggs Personality Assessment to give you some direction. The results are intended to show you where you are naturally strong. They are not intended to show you what you need to learn! By that I mean that you don't have to "learn" a skill that you are not great in. If it's something someone else can do, then ask them to do it. They may actually be strong in that particular area.
So there you have it-How to Build a Team online so you can leverage time and talents of others. Having the best people working within their strengths will be the leverage you need to build your business beyond where it is right now.
