Start documenting your processes and workflows.

Going from a crew of one to a thriving team will be easier if you document your processes now. Not only will it help stabilize all your efforts, but it will help keep content fluid and flowing through every part of your brand, no matter who makes it.

Draft job roles and dream hires before you need them. 

Think about who you’ll need to hire to fulfill your brand and business goals. Then write down what those jobs are and what qualities you want your dream hires to carry. Use this to build a strong dream team.

Organize things as you work. 

Working alone can get messy and disorderly—real fast. But it doesn’t have to. Bring order to what you do by organizing your work as you work. It’ll help nix chaos-induced frustrations for you and the team you’ll eventually build.

Act like you already have a team. 

Unspoken expectations kill partnerships quicker than they start. So practice talking out your thoughts and needs now before you build your team and be stronger for it!

Normalize conflict. 

Conflict happens and will happen on your team. When it does, keep a humble attitude. Everyone can get it wrong. Besides that, when you realize conflict is a source of new ideas, your team will grow stronger from it.
