7 Kinds of
People Every Business Owner Should Work With - Another
Great Article Brought to You By Lismore Lawyers
Have you ever wondered why some business owners seem to
always make money whilst others struggle just to break
even? One reason is that successful business owners
surround themselves with the right people.
Here Are 7 Types of People You Should Definitely
Be Working With:
1. A Switched-On Internet Marketer: Bill Gates
said recently that, "Within the next 5 years 60% of ALL
business transactions will take place on or be influenced
by the Internet." Only a complete idiot would ignore the
Internet.
But be aware… you need an experienced Internet marketer
- NOT just a web designer. You see, the trouble with the
average web designer is that whilst they can create fancy
'Brochure' websites (and charge you an arm and a leg in the
process) they are as effective as screen doors on a
submarine when it comes to marketing.
So you need to look for an Internet Marketer that
understands:
- - How to get traffic to your website.
- - That offers you a complete marketing plan - not just
a static website.
-- That builds you a website with an original graphic
design and not just some 'off-the-shelf' template.
- - Someone that doesn't just build you a website but
that takes it to the next level and actually shows you what
to do with it.

2. A Lead Generation Specialist: I often refer
people to my friend James Yuille. Business experts like
James can teach your sales team how to understand the
process of the sale - a priceless thing. James's website is

3. A Proactive Accountant: The sad reality
is that most business owners are 'flying blind' when it
comes to their business finances. The right accountant can
change all that by helping you to get some simple financial
systems operating in your business which in turn means you
can plan more effectively.
4. A Business Coach: This is a very hard
area for most business owners largely because the average
business coach just isn't qualified to show you what to do.
Now - before all you business coaches reading this get all
offended and 'spit the dummy' relax, if you have a proven
track record in operating an exceptionally successful
business in your own right - then what I've just said
doesn't apply to you does it?
HINT: They have never done it themselves.
If you want outstanding results you'll need to find a
coach who has done more than just shell out $70,000 for a
coaching franchise. Ask them to show you examples of
successful businesses they have operated themselves.
5. A Good PA: If you really want to explode your
results, get a personal assistant as soon as you can. Get
someone that can free up your time so that all you do is
work ON your business, rather than IN it.
6. A Venture Capital Expert: Make friends
with someone who understands the process of raising venture
capital and can help you get your business prepared for
investment - that can help it appear attractive to a
potential investor.
7. A Friend: Yes you read that correctly.
You need to find someone that you can sound off to and that
will give you honest, unbiased feedback.
Now stop and ask yourself:
Do I have these 7 people on my business team? and if
not, what am I going to do about it?
