What's the Secret?

Trying to do everything it takes to build a business by yourself is almost impossible. You need to leverage the expertise of other people. Don’t wait too long to build a team. But how do you do it without spending a lot of money? Today in Part 4 of this special series on “If I Had to Start Over,” Tom invited his best friend and business partner, Nick Ponte, co-founder of Offline Sharks and owner of Nick Ponte Marketing, to break down exactly what it takes to build an all-star team.
