Building A Team From Scratch For Your Online Business

By Rose Marie D'Amico





If you have an online business, you need a team to help run it! So, who should you hire? What skills should they have? And how much can you afford to pay them?



Building a team is building leverage.



The bottom line is that you cannot build a really successful business by yourself. You need help. And that help will come from other people's talents, energy and time. Those who get to profits the quickest know that when it comes to building a team, the sooner 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.



The top business owners in the online space have teams. And, almost all of these top businesses credit the building of a team to the speed of their success. Does that motivate YOU to build a team?



Do you need a camera person to help you record video for your business? If you've ever made a video then you know that wearing all the video hats: script writer, producer, actor, and editor can be exhausting.



Even though that's true, even the top video strategist doesn't recommend that your primary team hire be a cameraman.



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?



Great question! And the answer can be found when you evaluate your current business.



First, take a look at the activities of your business to discover the things that you dread doing. These would be things that need to get done, but not necessarily done by you.



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.
