Reaching success in any endeavor
requires many things. It doesn't
matter if you're out to complete a
project or you're working on
accomplishing a big dream.
One of the best things that you can do
for yourself is to build a team to help
you.
If you're an employer, your staff is
your team. When you're an
entrepreneur, your accountant, your
suppliers; they're all part of your
team. If you're in a group environment
and have been handed a project, look
around and see who's on your team.
As a entrepreneur, especially just
starting out, you need a team. But how
do you build one when you're on your
own$%:
First, look for champions. These are
the people who have been where you are
and know what you are or will go through
and have succeeded. Tell them of your
dreams and goals. Ask for their help
and advice. I have never met a
champion that was unwilling to help
when asked.
Next, assess your own strengths and
weaknesses. Once you know what you're
up against, you have a clearer picture
of what needs you have that another may
be able to help fill. If you have no
trouble generating paperwork but hate
to file it, who can you go to for help.
A spouse or children maybe. Maybe
finding a secretary that can teach you
office management shortcuts.
A team helps to generate ideas that
will move you forward. They can also
point out potential problems to be
worked out.
A team will also save you a whole lot
of time in many situations. Solutions
that would take you days or weeks to
develop will many times just fall out
of a team member's mouth.
Each of us is unique and individual.
Consequently are strengths and
weaknesses are different as well. So
are our perspectives. It's for those
very reasons that things happen so much
more quickly than they would if we
tried to go it alone.
If you're trying to go it alone,
don't. Pull that team together for
yourself. It's one of the most
powerful tools that you have
