Too Many Ideas and Not Enough Hours in the Day or Too Much to Learn at Once?
Anyone who has been in IM for any length of time knows that to be successful there are certain tasks that you absolutely have to do consistently. There is just no getting around it. It is one of the reasons that automation products have become so popular. We can only achieve so much in the amount of time we have.
If you are new to IM, you have to add to that the studying you must do to learn how to effectively run your business and there is just so much to learn.
The truth of the matter is that in order to really succeed, at the level we all want to attain, you just cannot go it alone. Not if you want to do it successfully. I know in my own business, there are some areas of IM that I really do not enjoy and as a result I tend to neglect those tasks to my own detriment.
To really get to the top you need to work as a team with other people who are as committed to success as you are and have the same vision that you do. If you can focus on one area of IM; one that you really enjoy, while others on your team are doing the same your chances of success are greatly increased.
There are just so many benefits to this approach.
1. You have the time and the opportunity to really dig in and get good at one specific area of IM, whether it be article/copywriting, SEO, video creation, social marketing, etc.. You get to pick one and become an expert in a much shorter period of time than if you were trying to learn everything all at once.
2. As a team, you have the power and creativity of a group of minds. You can brainstorm and come up with ideas and plans to implement them.
3. Pooling resources. Often when you really enjoy one aspect of the business you have invested in software or training manuals that someone else may not have if that was not their favorite thing to do. If one person in the team loves graphics design, chances are they have Photoshop, your keyword whiz would likely have Market Samurai or Keyword Elite, etc. I am not suggesting you share software, but when each person has a different skill set it allows you to leverage the amount of work you can accomplish. It also allows you to jointly purchase training manuals and software for the good of the team. If you decide your copywrite person needs a training manual that costs $100. A team of 5 people could each pitch in $20 to buy it for him. It is to the benefit of the team as a whole for him to have it. This is especially good for newbies.
4. Whether you are a newbie or a veteran you will benefit from working in teams.
I am currently building some teams. If anyone is interested in working in this manner please PM me. It doesn't matter if you are a newbie or not.
