Solopreneur, Yes! But Here are the six people you need on your business team

You run your own business but you are in this business to do business, right?

So, you need support services that you can't possibly do yourself, there is just not enough time in the day.  So get these six people hired to provide the needed services for your business, here they are:

- A Banker: find a bank that you love and then find someone at that bank that will pay attention to you and give you advice when you want and need it

- An Accountant: you need someone to first of all do you books every month and give you a report on how much you are making, what your profit margin is and what your overhead is in order to determine your breakeven.  Then, you need someone who can do your tax returns, sales tax returns and tell you what your quarterly tax payments should be so you don't get penalized!

- A Lawyer: if you really need one to handle IP (intellectual property) issues or licensing and/or sales agreements, maybe there is a friend that you know that can help.

- Insurance broker: yes, everyone needs insurance, business property and liability, use a friend that you know that can help you make decisions

-Technology dude: someone that can help you set up the applications tat you might need for your business, every business needs applications to help you make life easier, most of them today you can pay for by the month, but this dude will help you set things up...

- LASTLY,you need a business advisor, someone who can help you with operational questions and process improvements to maximize your team and maximize your profits!  and....that's ME!
