"No man is an island. No man stands alone."One lesson many business people
learn very early on is that you can't make it on your own. You don't have the
knowledge or the time to do everything that needs to be done in your business or
to meet all of your customer's needs. You can compensate for that by building
relationships with people who can provide you with the skills and services you
need and a place for you to refer your clients. So, for example, even if you
can't do your clients taxes, you can refer them to a good CPA.In coaching we
call this exercise of identifying other people who can be resources for your
business "creating a Team 100 list." It's a very simple process; select 100
other professionals you want to do business with and you would like to be able
to refer your clients to. This is your Dream Team. Start building
relationships with thesepeople.When creating your Dream Team, take a holistic
approach. Include individuals from many different professions to cover every
facet of your life.1. Business Relationships. Running a business or managing
your career is a lot easier when you have a strong support team. This
includes a coach, writer, computer consultant, graphic design artist, etc.2.
Professional advice. The best advice does not come from your mother, best
friend, or co-workers. It comes from trained professionals who specialize.
This includes an attorney, realtor, banker, insurance agent, etc.3. Mind, body
and soul. It is also important to have resources for your personal needs as
well as your business needs. These include doctors (especially specialists),
massage therapist, chiropractor, therapist, etc.4. Services to simplify. You
can accomplish more professionally when you have help with some of the little
things in life. This would include housekeeper, travel agent, photographer,
seamstress, etc.5. Take REALLY good care of yourself. And for those days when
you know you need pampering it is good to have names of self-care
professionals handy including a skin care specialist, personal trainer,
manicurist, spiritual advisor, image consultant, etc.For an extensive list of
professionals to include on your Team 100 and to sign up for the Preferred
