What message have you been receiving about how to build your business? Did you get the message from your mentor or guru that you should be able to get everything done through one wildly insane assistant (or there is something desperately wrong with you?)

Did you know from the beginning that part of the winning formula for 7 – 8 figure success is having the right team?

I vividly remember a conversation I had with Loral Langemeier, author of The Millionaire Maker, a few years back. Loral was talking about how she grew her business into a multi-million dollar enterprise so quickly. She shared how she had an onslaught of opportunities that might have overwhelmed or even crippled many small business owners.

But Loral had embraced The CEO Factor™ and had a system a powerful decision making habits.

She realized her only job was to decide if the opportunity was right for the business. And once she said yes, her next decision was, “Great, now who on the team is going to make it happen? Cause it’s not going to be me!”

Doing anything else positions YOU to be the bottleneck in your business.

So do you have the right team in place to make things happen quickly – without you? When an opportunity comes knocking, how do you make a decision on it and when you say yes, what’s the very first thing you do to set it in motion?
