While an entrepreneurial journey often involves starting an online business alone, it does not need to stay this way. If your business is to grow and scale, there will come a time that you cannot do everything by yourself. In this episode of The Sigrun Show, I welcome Amber McCue to discuss the importance of building a winning team to support your online business.

Amber is the founder of NiceOps, an organization that helps busy business owners learn to manage their time and business efficiently and effectively. She is a business operations expert passionate about helping entrepreneurs streamline their success through process-oriented, procedure-based strategies.

Amber joins me in this episode to discuss how entrepreneurs can get more accomplished by outsourcing tasks in their business. She also shares the secrets to building a winning team. We discuss how to identify what tasks you should consider outsourcing as well as the steps to take when hiring your first team member. While some entrepreneurs are wary of the idea of seeking external support, and worry that training and communicating with team members will consume more time than it saves, this podcast confirms that building a winning team is beneficial for your online business.

It takes a lot of energy to run a business. - Amber McCue
