1. Have an idea of what your team will look like when it's successfully built/why it's important... what will it get you more of
2. Delegation hot seat... data dump of all the tasks that you do that don't excite you and don't have high payoff... write them all down, usually personal assistant, bookkeeping, and website
3. Finding a person to work with; FIT....
A. Get clear about what your ultimate team will look like/why - don't hire someone like you, you want someone to balance you
B. Be clear about values and standards
C. Create written job description
D. Know where to find them... go to place where you can pick them, look at their res, don't put them in control of the hiring process...

All successful people need someone on their team, someone behind you.

Have a team that becomes your partner, not something you have to manage. We don't have to follow the corporate management model. On time results model system.
The difference is not what you need to start doing, but what you need to stop doing.
Have a plan for consistent business growth.
What's gonna get you money now;
Money in 2-5 years

Allows you to be in your passion and in your strengths. It's a way of life.
Do you want to build your team the hard way? Or the easy way?
