Almost all the entrepreneurs I’ve talked to have told me the same thing, which is you can’t go it alone forever.  Many entrepreneurs often launch a start-up business with no official team to leverage for support.  This can work initially, but it can also quickly become a huge negative as your company begins to mature and grow in popularity.  The importance of team building should never be underestimated.  The sooner you start putting together a solid team of people, the better off you’ll be going forward.  Here now is an excellent quick video on the importance of team building, and how it can make a difference for your business.

Have way too much to do and not enough time to do it in?  Wish you could have more time to spend with family and friends?  Well, if you find yourself saying yes then you might want to consider the possibility of hiring a Virtual Assistant to help increase your productivity and eliminate the mundane  tasks that often consume our precious time.  There is nothing more valuable than your time, and you should treat it as so.  Recently, entrepreneur Tim Ferriss did an interview on how a Virtual Assistant can save you both time and money without costing you an arm and a leg!

Most entrepreneurs who start their own business are usually on a very tight budget.  Getting the most out of every dollar and saving where you can is a recommended strategy as no one likes to waste money.  Being the man who coined the term lifestyle-design, Tim Ferriss is no stranger to doing things differently (and usually much more effectively as a result).  Needless to say, Tim has quickly built up quite a success story as an entrepreneur over the past few years through both his book and other business ventures.  Recently at a convention in France Tim gave a great 20 minute presentation on how he was able to market his book to millions on a very tight budget.

Whether you work full-time for your own business or moonlight part-time as a freelancer, I’m sure you will agree that technology has made it cheap and easy to work just about from anywhere.  Just give me a laptop with an internet connection, and I basically have everything I need to do my job.  This is a lifesaver for many of us who are always on the go.  But what about those times you don’t have your laptop on you or a stable internet connection? The simple fact is that even with the ability to work from anywhere, most of us don’t keep our laptop on us 24/7 when we are out of the house.  Well, why not use your phone as a substitute for your laptop!
