📖 Recommended Reading

I’d highly recommend you read these two books to really understand the importance of building a team. They are:

The E-Myth Revisited - Michael E. Gerber

Often considered the "go-to" book for entrepreneurs looking to build a team, this book dives into the common myth that most businesses are about the product or service itself. Gerber argues that the true challenge lies in systematizing your business and building a team to run it effectively.

• My Key Takeaways:
  • Delegation is crucial because:
    • It frees up my time to focus on strategic growth and innovation.
    • It allows me to leverage the strengths and expertise of others, leading to better outcomes.
    • It empowers my team members and fosters a culture of ownership.
  • The importance of building a team with complementary skills ensures we have a well-rounded approach to tackling challenges.
  • Understanding the different roles within a business helps me delegate tasks effectively.

Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell

This book focuses on helping entrepreneurs regain control of their time by leveraging the power of teams. Martell, shares strategies for building a high-performing team that allows you to step away from the day-to-day operations and focus on bigger-picture goals.

• My Key Takeaways:
  • I found Martell's framework for calculating your buyback rate particularly useful. You can find it later on down this page. This framework helps me understand the cost of my time and how much I can "buy back" by delegating tasks. By calculating this rate, I can make informed decisions about what tasks to delegate and how much to invest in building my team.
  • Building a team culture of ownership and accountability ensures everyone feels invested in the team's success.
  • By focusing on building a strong team, I can scale my business more effectively as it grows.

Why these books are valuable:

Both of these books quite literally changed my life. They took me from someone who knew nothing about ‘team building’ and ‘outsourcing’ to someone who has been able to build his dream team who do most of the heavy lifting for me on my channels!

Ultimately, these books will help you shift your mindset from a solopreneur to a leader who can build and rely on a team. By understanding the importance of systems and delegation, you can free up your time to focus on growing your channel and achieve greater success.
