PEOPLE: The Most Important Ingredient to a 7 Figure Business
[This guest article was graciously shared by Christine Comaford.]
In today’s economic climate, it is essential to have a seasoned team, a fast path to revenue, and a staged rollout plan. When it comes to team, there are some absolute necessaries that you need to put in place.
What are the first questions a prospective investor will ask? PEOPLE questions, of course! Here are some of mine: Do you or your team members have massive experience in your field of choice? Do you have an advisory board? (It’s easy to set up an advisory board, which can bring you phenomenal expertise at zero up-front cost, as well as much-needed credibility.)
Without a seasoned team or a long history of experience and income sheets to review, how can anyone possibly trust your revenue and cost projections? As a business owner, you need credibility, and you need it pronto. Follow this “people plan” to help you get off the ground.
1. Lock in well-known and respected advisers who are veterans in their respective industries. Timeline for this? Like, now.
2. Secure contract staff to work with you and those advisors in order to move your biz forward or hit your next Results Now marks.
3. Make sure all tea
m members (employees, founders, contractors, advisers, web developers, strategic alliances, everyone!) sign a confidentiality and proprietary-inventions agreement.
4. Follow standard processes when recruiting.
5. Maintain a backup bench. Always be on the lookout for the next adviser, contractor, or employee. You don’t want to be empty-handed when a key hire quits and you need a speedy replacement.
6. Finally, refine your networking skills. A huge part of your success will be based on the ability to get others to help you.
Here’s to YOUR 7 Figure Success Story.
