Buildin a team to help you grow your business! Where do you start ?

I have been learning a lot from my friend David Perry, recruiter and author, about business development . Building a successful business takes a great deal of work and one can not take the eye off the ball . What I find to be of huge importance is the  quality of people that we bring into our organizations . In the past , I did not know about what to look for when recruiting people who we need to be on our team. Since meeting with David and reading his material , a new sense of understanding has evolved how to hire not only executives but also staff .As business owners , we tend to concentrate on " what can  personally I do to grow the business ?" . Book titled Good to Great speaks of this need to have the right people on the buss , the people on the buss in right seats and wrong people off the buss. I work with many successful business owners and the story is similar , "If I could only find the right people to help me then I could take time for myself ". Business owners build strong organizations who are dependent on their input and to make the shift of hiring someone else to do their jobs is one filled with fear and apprehension . I think that business owners need to stop being "slaves " to their companies and the best way is find the best people to be part of their organization.

My advice , get help to recruit right people but know what you want that person to do for you !
