When we look at building a strong and prosperous business, we sometimes forget that we cannot do it
alone. Just as a baseball team has important players each having a role that they all work together to
win a championship game, so should you have all the players needed in your business. No one can cover.
players and works to emphasize each other’s strengths. So who are the great players who can help you
achieve your dream success and help ensure that you create a thriving business?
The bank
Opening a bank account is an easy process, but taking the time to really get to know your bank and
appearing to them is crucial to good business growth. With the advent of online banking and ATMs, we
have lost that “personal touch” in many cases. Spending more time and getting to know your bank can
be an important step in building a thriving business. Your bank may suggest products and services replace or upgrade existing services.
Attorney
An attorney is a good person to have in your group or not a regular user. At the very least, your attorney
can help you build the necessary contracts to protect you in possible courts. Another thing you can do
with your attorney is to be a “causal agent” during a difficult situation and give you the details to make the best discussion.
Auditor
Most of us like to prepare our income tax, especially when we are small businesses and just starting out.
By contacting an accountant and bringing it to your team, you can learn what is required to keep proper
financial records and what are acceptable or unacceptable reductions in your business.
Insurance Agent
Before starting any business
one should consult with the insurance agent to ensure that he or she is taken into account in any event.
If you are already in business and do not have an insurance agent in your group, now is the time to get
it. As they say “you’re safer than regrets.”
Counselor
Who are you looking at?
Every successful business owner can tell you the name of the person or people who put that role in them. Many may not
have met their mentor and some may have a mentor who is not the owner of the business itself. Your
mentor will be an important player in giving you direction for your business.
Coach
The person you use to fulfill the role of the coach may not be an expert. The role of the coach I’m talking
about is someone who gives you the motivation to think further and further. They are the person you go
with your ideas and who give you support and encouragement to achieve your dreams. After all, if we
are not working to achieve our business dream, why should we be in business?
Supporting Family
A supportive family is one of the most important players in the success of your business. Having
someone to stand behind you through the ups and downs of your business and make you happy to
Success will be the key to building a successful business.
Assistant
We certainly will not ‘go it alone if we wish to build a prosperous business. You need to have a helper
even if it is just someone who helps you when you are sick or on vacation. Your assistant can take on the
role of an employee, subcontractor, spouse, visual assistant, or perhaps something as simple as a
machine message or a set of responses to reply to your messages while you are away.
You
We have finally reached the most important player in building your successful team. Without you, your
the business would lack the vision, determination, and skills to “go the extra mile”.
Remember that even if you play more than one role at a time, the roles and needs of a successful
The business team does not change.
