Make Big Things Out of Little Things
Third party vendors can be pebbles in your shoe or building blocks for your school.
This is the time of the year when you should be taking significant inventory of WHO is on your team. This doesn’t just include employees; this includes Third Party Providers. Typically you hire a third party provider for one of two reasons:
- You don’t want to do it.
- You cannot do it (time, skill, etc).
Having strong third party support to do the things you cannot or don’t want to do is critical to your success. It can also be the pebble in your shoe that takes you down.
Six years ago, I started my business, and there have been two particular areas in which these pebbles have nearly destroyed my shoes, my toes, almost everything. (If you know college basketball and Zion Williamson from Duke--that’s the kind of shoe blow out in the 2019 tournament I’m talking about.)
These pebbles are:
- Website support
- Bookkeeping/Accounting
I was so naive...
