BUILD YOUR WINNING TEAM

Periodically I hear the term "solo-preneur" as a way of
describing professionals and micro-business entrepreneurs,
and I appreciate whoever coined the phrase because for many
professionals, it feels like we are in business "solo" – all
by ourselves. The truth, of course, is very different.
Every successful salesperson, doctor, writer, consultant or
entrepreneur works with a huge team of colleagues, and we do
well to recognize the members of our team, whether they work
for us in our own offices, or support us in some less direct
way.
This week, invite two or three of your best, brightest and
most successful colleagues to have lunch. Talk about your
situation and give away your best ideas, your best skills,
your best insights. It's a way of building trust and
investing in the relationship so you can, in turn, ask for
their help in building your business. I am a huge believer
in masterminds. I am a huge advocate of winning teams!

business, get one! There are thousands of highly skilled coaches
