Shortly after you start your online business - you'll discover that you can't do everything by yourself. You need a team. Next, you're going to wonder who you should hire first. After all, with so much to do, and what is most likely a limited budget, most entrepreneurs cannot go out and hire all the people they desire.

Before we get to all that, it's crucial for you to understand that building a team is all about Leverage.

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 in no time if you 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. The sooner you do this, the better position you will be to take full advantage of that leverage.

It may help you to realize that all of the top online business owners have a team. And, almost all of these top businesses credit the building of a team to the pace of their success. Does that motivate YOU to build a team?

So where do you start?

Do you need a camera person to help you record video for your business? Most people know that making a video can be time consuming.

True, but it's not recommended that your first hire be a camerman. You can actually get help for free, or cheap.

Any business has lots of moving parts to make it work and make it profitable. While video is important for online marketing, there are also other admin and repetitive tasks that are just as crucial. For that reason, hiring someone in an administrative role such as a virtual assistant is a great first person when hiring to build a team.

What should this VA do?

When you analyze what you do each day in your business, you'll be able to uncover the best tasks for your new VA hire to do.

While nobody wants to feel like they are "dumping" all the undesirable jobs onto someone else, those are probably the first things you should get rid of! But don't feel bad because something you dread doing may be something that another person actually loves to do! These would be things that need to get done, but not necessarily done by you.

The second thing you should do is evaluate yourself. We all have strengths and weakness. Learn what yours are. If you're not sure what that is, then you should take the Myers Briggs Personality Assessment to give you some direction. When you look at your results, what you want to focus on is what types of activities energize you. These will be things you are very strong in. For the activities that drain you, those areas that you are not as strong, see if you can hire those things out.

So there you have it; the best way to build a team for your online business! Start here. Capitalizing on the talents of others will lead you to a better business (rather than just a J.O.B) and the ability to hire even more specialized people to your business.
