Positive Work Habits Part V Build an Effective Support Team - Coaches, Mentors & Assistants

[Shirawilliam]

Everyone will have different teamUncompromised Lifeplayers, so think about the areas where you need the most support. Where are there gaps in your knowledge and skills? What tasks do you dislike that someone else can do more effectively and inexpensively? Developing positive work habits includes knowing when to delegate, how to manage others, and how to build an effective support team.

Where do you start? Suppose you're starting a new business as a work-at-home entrepreneur. Your first team member might be a coach, mentor, or someone experienced in the business-who can provide advice, encouragement, healthy feedback or a willing ear. One of my roles as a partner in Pathways Business Associates (PBA), is coaching and mentoring new PBA business owners. With a coach or mentor, you'll stretch yourself to dream bigger dreams, set and achieve higher goals, and develop positive work habits. Why re-create the wheel when others have gone before you and are willing to share their secrets of success?

Next on your support team might be a partner-someone in the same business but with complementary skills to yours. For example, you might be great with words and marketing, but lack technical skills. Your ideal partner could be a graphic or web designer with great creative and technical skills. This partnership benefits both individuals. While partnerships are not for everyone, you might prefer to hire or contract people to fill the skills you lack. This might include web and graphic designers, accountants, attorneys, copywriters, and the indispensable virtual assistant (VA)! VA's work out of their own location and offer a great way for you to delegate administrative chores without having to hire a full- or part-time administrator.

Another essential part of your support team is a community of like-minded people. These might be associates in the same business you're in, other entrepreneurs in different businesses, good friends, family members, a mastermind team, or members of an organization. When you join a business like PBA, for example, you join a community of individuals committed to personal and team success. When you join a trade organization or a Chamber of Commerce, you meet other entrepreneurs who become part of your support community. And if you start or join a mastermind group, you'll receive ongoing encouragement, feedback, and all the support you could ever want.
