Summary

Building a team is VITAL if you want a sustainable, profitable business. You simply can't do life or business alone. Is building a team risky? Does it involve hiring employees? Is it expensive or difficult? NO and NO! Done correctly, you can build a team slowly and powerfully - a team that works hard for you with excitement as you build something special together...and it doesn't cost you anything if you do it right! On today's show I reveal how we've done it for 20 years.

0:00.0	Hey, welcome to silent sales machine radio. I'm your host, Jim Cochrom, and I've got an
0:06.4	exciting topic today for you on how to build a zero cost team that builds your business.
0:14.8	That's right. People who are building your business for you and with you, and it doesn't cost you
0:19.8	anything. Now, I'll explain some of those
0:22.8	techniques and strategies and some people from our community who are doing exactly what I just
0:27.1	described in a moment, but first I want to spend a little bit of time explaining why you must
0:32.3	have a team. This is a topic I could spend a great deal of time on. You've heard me address it in other episodes, I'm sure. But if we haven't driven the point home yet, you need a team. Many of us are introverts. We got into internet marketing and online business and we started building our Amazon businesses because we kind of like to be left alone and like to do our
0:54.3	own thing. We enjoy people, but we're kind of drained being around people. That's the best
1:01.3	definition of an introvert that I ever heard is it's not that we don't like people. It's just
1:05.2	we find being in groups of people draining, whereas extroverts find groups of people invigorating.
1:12.0	It energizes them. We both enjoy being in groups of people. And if you're healthy, anyway,
1:17.7	you should enjoy that. But as an introvert, if that's you, or even as an extrovert,
1:22.9	you can't do business alone. You simply can't. Now, many of the tasks will involve you sitting down,
1:30.3	focusing, and getting the work done, but your business will be capped at the level where your
1:37.2	ability to form new relationships and bring new people into your business ends. At the point where
1:43.4	you say, okay, that's enough. I don't need any
1:45.3	more relationships. I don't need any more people speaking into my business or helping me grow.
1:50.6	This is all I need. I'm capping it here. What you've just done is begun your descent into losing
1:57.5	your business at that point. You've got to constantly be growing, constantly be adding to your
2:03.3	team, constantly be building new relationships. Without abandoning the old relationships, by the way.
2:10.0	You don't want to burn any bridges as you go in business. But I promise I'm going to talk about
2:15.3	how to build a zero-cost team as part of this episode.
