Even freelancers need a team – part 2

If you missed it go back and answer The Big Question in Even freelancers need a team – part 1.

If you’re on the fence about The Big Answer everyone else would like to give you some more time to think about leveraging a team to make your business stronger.

Here are 5 reasons to work with others:

Reason 1 – Hello, when was the last time you met a ”successful person” who didn’t have people on their team? Face it, the nice lady who comes every-other-week to vacuum your home is on your team because she does something you don’t like to do which needs to be done and it frees up more time for you to do what you LOVE!

Reason 2 – It is easy!  You get introduced to someone you think is pretty cool, you discover their skill (service), then think, “Ugh, I hate to do that!”  Voila! Teammate number 1.  You don’t have to go buy a desk and computer, run an ad, screen resumes, etc.  Call that cool person only when you need that specific skill on your team!

Reason 3 – You get to help other people!  I haven’t met a trainer, coach or speaker yet who didn’t do what they do because they love to help or touch people.  This is just another way to do that.

Reason 4 – You can build the perfect fit every time.  When you need a little help you call in a couple people.  When you are working on a whopper of a project and need all the resources you can find you can create a team specifically for that too.

Reason 5 – Regardless what you call yourself, folks like us are in the freelance industry.  There are little asides to that: virtual assistant industry, copy writing industry, graphics design industry, blah, blah, blah.  Bottom line is we are all one big happy industry.  By building a team you help your industry!

Now, go back and think about The Big Question again.
