Stupid question here... how do you build a perfect team if you're not perfect yourself? If the advice is to take no compromise on the quality of your team mates, then why should they want you in their team if you're not grade A yourself even if you're the founder?
I wonder if you know anything about business building and entrepreneurship
We all have been trained and conditioned by our culture to be perfect; to constantly focus on improving what we're weak at
Bucko, that might work in school (though I've opposing views about it)
But not in business...
Suffice to say, in business you focus on your strength and outsource/delegate what you are weak at to your freelancers/colleagues
There's absolutely no need to be perfect
Take a look at a reply I wrote to a guy who seriously needing some "bashing" to perk his confidence and drive
*** I edited some portions because it's not relevant... so you may find it a little awkward when reading coz some bits & pieces are missing... but more importantly, the GIST is there...
*** BTW I am not as harsh as I really am ... only in writing... in case you're thinking... ;-P If you know anything about top internet marketers or even CEOs of motar-and-brick corporations, they don't do ALL the work by themselves. They outsource it. They delegate it.
And guess what, most of the time, those people whom they hire to "do the stuffs for them" are much "smarter" than them. Do you know that Ford was once quoted to having said that part of his business success was his ability to hire people smarter than him to do the job for him?
In case you have a sensitive BS detector in your head, shoot me an email
taymastery@gmail.com and I'll send you a link to download Jeff Johnson's Outsourcing Strategy call. You will be blown away when you hear how Jeff operates. He doesn't do all the "dirty work" by himself. He outsources them to smart people and gets them to actually IMPLEMENT his ideas. Jeff is basically there on his comfy thinking chair thinking of his "next big thing". And he is not the only fella.
Aren't they lazy? You ask.
Heck. Who gives a dayhem.
Being lazy requires you to be smart in order to get the leverage out of all the resources that can help u succeed at a much accelerated pace.
Sorry to sound insulting but if you think you are going to stick with that "do it all by yourself" attitude you are not cut out to be an Internet marketer - not to mention an entrepreneur.
even copywriters "cheat" at times...
BTW I just learnt that Joe Sugarman, one of the World's top copywriters, FAILED ENGLISH! You believe that?
But godamit... Copywriting is not about being Shakesperian... it's all about Salesmanship... as John Carlton will hammer that concept into you... being able to communicate with your fellowmen and understanding his deepest needs, fears and desires... and articulating a solution masterfully in print...
Ok I am starting to get out of point.
But anyway I will tell you how smart copywriters ""CHEAT"" THE LIVING HELL out of their own career
THEY SWIPE. And Harlan Kilstein is a master at this. In fact he was once said to have spent his entire copywriting career swiping others' materials. Then when he has a copy assignment, he pulls out his swipe, reach for the relevant materials and begin "piecing" them together with his own twist like a puzzle. Oh yah, Dan Kennedy goes by the sameprinciple of "swiping-to-produce-killer-copy". Do you see how LEVERAGE is taking place here?
Okay this is the worst example of how copywriters' "CHEAT"
They hire other copywriters to do the work for them!
That's near criminal.
But, it's just pure LEVERAGE in action...
But really no offence dude, i hope u gained something out of this
