Think You’re The Best? Here’s How To Build a Team Anyway

This is the 205th consecutive post on MrEmogical Notes. If you’ve been following this series and are finding value from this blog/ newsletter, please consider sharing this post with one person who you feel needs to read this for their betterment.
Introduction
One word that has gotten a lot of undue importance in the last few years on the internet is “solopreneurs”.
At this stage of my business, I’m a solopreneur myself, so I don’t look down upon any solopreneurs in any way.
However, aspiring to remain a solopreneur for the longest time in your business and not wanting to build a team is a detrimental thought that every business must avoid at all costs.
Most business owners think/ believe that they’re the best at doing most tasks in their business. For a lot of cases, this might be true, as well.
Despite that fact, it’s important and essential for every business to build a team.
Let’s double click on this thought and unfold how can any business start building a team?
How to go from being a solopreneur to a team builder?
First things first, thinking that you’re the best or you’re most dedicated towards bringing the a-game to your business undermines everyone else, and your future team members.
You’re the best today because you’ve done something over and over and mastered all the tasks of your business.
I’m sure when you look back on your journey, you will remember many mistakes that you made, before you managed to create the existing method that works for your business like magic.
Look at this method as a blessing in disguise. At least now, your future team members won’t repeat the same mistakes that you made on your way.
Now, to build a team, start with recording every step.
Make processes and systems for every task that gets done in your business.
Find people who you can train on one/ two/ three/ four/ five (at max to begin with) tasks and offload these 5 tasks first.
Train them on every task, show them the importance of every task in the bigger picture and train them until they (and you) get the confidence to perform the task independently.
Ensure that they have understood everything before you hand over the task to them entirely.
Once these 5 tasks are off your shoulders, find your next team member, then move to the next (and then the next).
That’s how you build a team.
Conclusion
Unless you want to do business only with a handful of clients and create a sustainable living for yourself, you will have to start building a team sooner than later.
Frankly, if you want to be a solopreneur/ freelancer for good, you’re better off working for another business.
