Have you ever wondered why some business owners seem to always make money whilst others struggle just to break even? One reason is that successful business owners surround themselves with the right people. Here Are 7 Types of People You Should Definitely Be Working With:

1. A Switched-On Internet Marketer: Bill Gates said recently that, “Within the next 5 years 60% of ALL business transactions will take place on or be influenced by the Internet.” Only a complete idiot would ignore the Internet.

But be aware you need an experienced Internet marketer - NOT just a web designer. You see, the trouble with the average web designer is that whilst they can create fancy ‘Brochure’ websites (and charge you an arm and a leg in the process) they are as effective as screen doors on a submarine when it comes to marketing.

So you need to look for an Internet Marketer that understands:

- - How to get traffic to your website.

- - That offers you a complete marketing plan - not just a static website.

– That builds you a website with an original graphic design and not just some ‘off-the-shelf’ template.

- - Someone that doesn’t just build you a website but that takes it to the next level and actually shows you what to do with it.

2. A Lead Generation Specialist: I often refer people to my friend James Yuille. Business experts like James can teach your sales team how to understand the process of the sale - a priceless thing. James’s website is www.JamesYuille.com

3. A Proactive Accountant: The sad reality is that most business owners are ‘flying blind’ when it comes to their business finances. The right accountant can change all that by helping you to get some simple financial systems operating in your business which in turn means you can plan more effectively.

4. A Business Coach: This is a very hard area for most business owners largely because the average business coach just isn’t qualified to show you what to do. Now - before all you business coaches reading this get all offended and ’spit the dummy’ relax, if you have a proven track record in operating an exceptionally successful business in your own right - then what I’ve just said doesn’t apply to you does it?

HINT: They have never done it themselves.

If you want outstanding results you’ll need to find a coach who has done more than just shell out $70,000 for a coaching franchise. Ask them to show you examples of successful businesses they have operated themselves.

5. A Good PA: If you really want to explode your results, get a personal assistant as soon as you can. Get someone that can free up your time so that all you do is work ON your business, rather than IN it.

6. A Venture Capital Expert: Make friends with someone who understands the process of raising venture capital and can help you get your business prepared for investment - that can help it appear attractive to a potential investor.

7. A Friend: Yes you read that correctly. You need to find someone that you can sound off to and that will give you honest, unbiased feedback.

Now stop and ask yourself:

Do I have these 7 people on my business team? and if not, what am I going to do about it?
