SNM180: Building a Team Without Breaking the Bank

What is a success if you can’t share it with someone? And to be fair, it’s almost impossible to build an online business without having the dream team on your side. So, what are the steps you need to take to build a remote team that will stand by you through thick and thin?

The first thing you need to do as a boss is to define exactly what someone’s job will be, how long it should take them to do the job, and how much you will pay them. When you don’t exactly know what you want from someone it is going to be very difficult for them to do it.

How to build a remote team culture

– Thinker

The thinker is a manager, high-level creative person, and organizer. They hold the entire team together but, because they are so creative, they have problems with repetitive tasks.

– Doer

The doer is an action taker that needs explicit instructions and likes to do the same tasks again and again.

If you want to build a strong culture with a remote team, you need to know exactly what you will need from both the doer and the thinker.

You are most likely to have more doers than thinkers on your team, so it’s always a good idea to have one manager to every seven people you hire. They will be in charge of the entire team and their process.

When you hire someone for a certain task, you need the 80% rule which means that if someone can do the task 80% as good as you it is worth it to outsource and hire them.

The dream is to hire people who are better than you at every task but dedicating your entire time chasing that you might lose focus on your final goal.

Be The Best Boss

When you are building a new remote team you always need to be careful.

So you don’t get ripped off use time tracker software like Time Doctor because it creates a field of integrity.

Full time, Part-time, Contract

-Full time works 40 hours a week

-Part-time works 20 hours a week

-Contract, when you pay someone project by project.

When you know what your exact budget is, you know what kind of workers and how many of them you can hire. Don’t go overboard and promise something you can’t deliver.

In the end, if you want to know how to build a remote team, it’s all about how you present the job and how people respond to your offers. If you find someone that fits most of your conditions and you feel that they are the right addition to your remote team your job will become that much more pleasurable.
