Two Ways to Build a Winning Personal or Business Team
Today, we're diving into team building for business and personal success. At EntreResults, we've coached numerous business owners across industries and observed that growth-oriented small businesses grasp the importance of a solid team. They've experienced its critical role in success and are committed to assembling top-notch teams. Meanwhile, solopreneurs and small business owners often grapple with how to build effective teams. This article targets those with smaller teams or working solo, offering insights to enhance your team-building strategies.
How to build a team for your business with little to no money?
If you don’t have the budget to hire a large team, you might think that it’s hard to have one. Your concern is completely understandable but there are two ways that may help you build your team, regardless of your financial situation. These two methods would work for anyone:
1. PUTTING TOGETHER A BUSINESS TEAM OF PEOPLE THAT YOU DON’T KNOW PERSONALLY
Yes, even individuals you've never met face-to-face can be invaluable resources, thanks to their industry knowledge. Identify the thought leaders in your field—they are your potential allies. Delve into their interpretations of industry trends, their future outlooks, their best practices, and their educational materials like books, videos, and courses. By doing so, you're essentially integrating the crème de la crème into your team.
It might seem odd to think of these experts as team members, yet the value of their resources is immense. And it's not just business—this approach applies to various life aspects, like health. Consider what resources are there to boost your health, how you engage with them, and more. Essentially, it's about leveraging expert insights to enrich your personal and professional life.
2. PUTTING TOGETHER A BUSINESS TEAM OF PEOPLE YOU KNOW IN PERSON
People that you can interact with. Whether it’s virtual, over the phone, or face to face, they are the ones who can directly assist you in getting to where you want to be in business. Some examples include your CPA, banker, business coach, lawyer, internet marketer, graphic designer, virtual assistant, etc. . As you can see, you may already have your business team members.
Again, you can apply the same logic to other personal areas of your life, too. Let us use health as an example, for another time. Who’s on your team to help you lose weight and get in shape? Who can prepare you healthy meals? And, here we go!

So, what’s next?
Once you gather your team, schedule how often you should meet with them (virtually or in-person) in order to get the most out of your relationships.
When people fall short of their goals in business or other areas of their lives, it is often due to a lack of the right team members or the resources they consistently touch base with.
The bottom line, you can combine both methods to create a successful personal and business team. The first method includes thought leaders and their resources, while the second is about people you know personally and who can help you in a direct way.
