Question:
How do I build a team?
Answer:
All businesses as they grow require that you build a team of dedicated and talented people around you. The best way to do that is to first work on your own personal development.
Learning about what makes you tick and what makes others tick can help you to become a very good manager. I highly recommend that you become trained in personality styles and learn to identiify what drives people and what interests them.
In addition becoming the best you can be and working on your own self development makes you a better person - and people will want to work with you. "How to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie is still a great book and I try to read it once a year.
Good leaders attract good team mates and so that should be your goal!
Finally - write down just what you want from a team - what kind of people you want to work with and what their jobs will be. This will help you to visualize and to see who they will be - and this will assist you in atrtacting them. This also will help you to identify the right people when they present themselves to you.
SPECIAL NOTE for direct sales and MLM industries.
When you are building a tema - be sure to have an application process for your team members. Do not just take anyone. They may very well become clients or distributors in your business - but be selective about your team.
Question:
How can I increase my revenue - without working so hard?
Answer:
Many of us trade time for money if we offer a service. The thing to think about is finding a product that supports our service and is something that our clients can use over and over.
Many of us have 'real estate' or office space that could be housing extra products that we can sell. Selling a product require no 'work' on our part compared to the services we offer.
Even a website can offer us sales that require little work and can increase our income.
