NBA, NFA and NHL playoffs and world series are often marked with fiery team spirit, which affects even their fans. Playing for a team even for a season requires skill and teamwork. Each team player is expected to provide team support to a key player while executing a play strategized by the team captain or coach. A cohesive and supportive team increases its chances of winning because they become one, working towards one goal – The Win!
Similarly, business owners would want to build a synergized team composed of highly skilled, dynamic and effective individuals to make the business succeed and grow.
Imagine a scenario wherein a business owner can personally recruit members of his own dream team. It is pretty much like how a coach would pick players to build a team. He first assesses the weakness of his team and finds a player who can improve or turn the weakness around.

Even if you are just developing your business idea or crafting a business plan, it would be prudent to explore the possibility of identifying key positions or projects which can help you jumpstart or test your business idea.
