Finding the right people for your team is the difference between winning and losing - in all avenues of life, from sports, to relationships, to business!
When you’re outsourcing key tasks for your business, there are a few things that you should ask of yourself and of the people you are considering for any role.
You have to start with answering the question: “what are MY goals?” Not having clarity around what you want your business to achieve, in the short term and long term, means that you’re much less likely to be able to have a list of criteria against which you can measure how well someone and their services fit you.
Once you know what you want your business to achieve, you are in a position to make an itemised list of some of the services that you would ideally like your employee or contractor to be able to render for you. Sure, experience matters, but someone who is experienced in things that you don’t really need performed is potentially less valuable than developing a working relationship with someone who is new to or learning the skills your specific business needs.
And of course, you want to work with people who share your vision for what your workplace will look like, and this cuts both ways. If you value balance and wellbeing, for example, make sure to have a discussion about things like boundaries around personal time.
I hope this helps you build your dream team to accomplish all your business goals! As a VA, I aim to become an indispensable member of your team, and to leverage my skills in service of your vision.
