The series was inspired by The Unlimited Freelancer from Freelance Folder.  Missed The Big Question? Go back to part 1.  Need more reasons? Go back to part 2.

The next Big Question

What do you want?  Wouldn’t it be great if life was as easy as dining out?  Of course, you might be limited to what was on the menu but you’d pretty much get what you ordered.  There is no menu here so dream big!

This question is so important because you have to decide this before you can figure out what you are missing .  If you don’t figure out where you are headed you won’t know what you need to get you there.

There is no Big Answer

Or maybe I should say there isn’t ONE Big Answer.  Nothing you say could be wrong at this point.  Your answer will be unique to you.  Just don’t say you want to suffer alone forever and you’ll get there by yourself!  If that was your answer go back to the beginning and start over.  It’s ok, successful people start over all the time.

Based on your answer you could decide you want someone who provides the same services you do because you like working with people and bouncing stuff around gets you juices flowing.  Perhaps a potential client on your radar is too big for you to tackle successfully alone – have you ever presented in a tag-team fashion?  It is energizing and adds a great twist for your attendees!

The Unlimited Freelancer suggests a few options here:

Someone who offers identical services…like my example above.
Someone who offers related services…sales copy writer and a press release writer.
Someone with services in a related industry…content writer or coder in your graphics design business.
Someone who can handle various small tasks…a virtual assistant to increase your efficiency and free time.
Someone who can improve your business…what you need now in order to get ahead faster.

Deciding where you are and where you want to go is a very important step before you start building a team at random.  Spend some time here.
