Today, in our preparation for the 30 Day Blog Challenge, we learned about , "Why You Should Hire for Growth and Your Long Term Vision." This means that in order to build a business that can grow, it is important to outsource all those tasks that are time consuming, and prevent you from focusing on your core business. Which leads to today's question:
"How will you build a team around your vision and work smart instead of hard?"
One of the main benefits of outsourcing is the ability to hire experts to solve a particular task like research, website optimisation, editing podcasts and videos, or handling emails, as and when you need them to. I will certainly work towards this, but I doubt if I am anywhere near the stage of having to hire anyone (although, as I have mentioned in a previous blog, I do have some family members in mind!).
In my life's vision, however, I have an IT guru to manage my blog, researchers to find the information I seek, a video and podcast editor, plus a virtual assistant to help keep me organised. One can only dream!
I will keep in mind the words of Henry ford, of the Ford Motor Company when I build my team, "Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success. "
