Top 5 Reasons Why Creative Business Owners Should Build a Team
SO YOU’RE A CREATIVE, AND YOU’RE LOOKING TO DELEGATE… GREAT!
But building a team is about more than adding people to get more s@#* done. Let’s look at a few other important reasons why you, as a creative should grow your team!
CONNECTION
A LOT of not just creatives but small business owners today work from home. And while yes, working in your jammies from bed all day is great, there are also some downsides to working from home… It’s lonely! It can be mundane! When you build a team, you no longer have to work alone but get that personal connection with others who are NOT your clients… Even if it is just virtual (double win there because you can still have team meetings in your jammies if you want)!
SHARED GOALS
Building a team of people around you is more than just having more hands on deck. It’s about having people who want to see your dreams and goals come true. They believe in your business just as much as you do and want to help you!
CELEBRATING WINS (AND LOSSES)
Being a business owner isn’t all magic and unicorns. There are a lot of ups and downs in the day-to-day hustle. And you need a squad to help get you through it all! Building a team creates a support network of like-minded individuals who understand the joys and struggles of running a creative business. Your team can offer guidance, share experiences, and provide emotional support. Together, you can celebrate successes, learn from setbacks, and grow individually and collectively.
FINDING THE BALANCE
Creatives are usually the dreamers, big thinkers, and team members who constantly push the boundaries… And while that’s amazing and essential for growth, for a business to REALLY thrive, you also need strategists, specialists, collaborators, and problem solvers! The creatives dream, and the team members turn it into a reality. They find the balance.
Prioritize building a team that is going to balance out your weaknesses. That’s when delegation really can create magic! Find your team members’ strengths and put them to use.
While running a creative business has challenges, it can also be extremely fulfilling and rewarding!
As a creative business owner, you possess unique talents and skills that set you apart, and putting them to use daily can bring you a lot of joy and purpose. And we get it- Your business is like your baby! So, bringing people on board can be nerve-racking. However, going solo on this adventure may limit your potential for growth and success. That's why it's crucial for creative entrepreneurs to recognize the immense value of having a team! Delegate the busy work and give yourself more time to do what you REALLY love… Create!
