Don’t Try and Do It All Yourself!

Massive success is never accomplished alone. Take a close look at any highly successful individual… you’ll see they are surrounded by an amazing team dedicated to loving, serving, and supporting them.

There are a multitude of tasks in your business that must get done, but that take you away from your true genius, the passion that got you into the business to start with. You know the tasks I’m talking about… the stuff you HATE to do! (I hate checking email, for example).

The good news is there are people out there who LOVE to do the things you hate. All you need to do is find those people and get them on your team… now! I couldn’t believe it when I found my Admin Assistant who absolutely loves administrative work.

Any time you find yourself struggling to start or expand your workshop or retreat business, one of the questions you should ask is: Am I trying to do it alone?

Many workshop and seminar leaders have either consciously or subconsciously chosen to isolate themselves out of some misguided desire to declare their business success as solely their own. Or they tell themselves no one can do it like they can. Or they tell themselves, I can’t afford to get help. (None of these are true, no matter what your mind will try to say). For example, if you are just starting out and capital is an issue, get creative! There are many ways to hire someone without paying them an arm and leg.  Revenue shares.  Trades for programs. Commission based help.

A team is the KEY to making your dream a reality. Trust me, Justin and I have tried it both ways. When it was just us two, we were miserable, overworked and overwhelmed. When we finally gave in and started surrounding ourselves with a capable team – our business started to get fun again.

Now go find your team!
