Want To Be Effective? Harness the Power of The Team
October 5, 2009
We live in the societal model of the “Lone Hero” but in our ancient memory we come from the law of the tribe, meaning that we have togetherness in our bones. But unfortunately we’ve forgotten this and very often we suffer from a kind of societal aloneness disease.
This particularly shows up in the life of solo business owners. If you work for yourself or by yourself, it’s guaranteed that you suffer from this aloneness disease.
Here are it’s symptoms:
- you often wonder what you’re doing wrong or why you aren’t as successful as you’d want to be
- you have dreams and goals that you never seem to realize
- you wonder why it’s so hard
- you find yourself going into a slump and blame yourself
Here’s what I’ve been fortunate to learn from wonderful mentors over the years – that one of the secrets to success in any venture of life, is to harness the power of the team. When you can tap the power of teamwork, then you can go much further than you ever would alone.
As I watched and studied successful people, I realized that this was one of their secrets to success. So many years ago I started garnering allies and buddies and formed wonderful partnerships that have really kept me going, especially in hard times.
One of my current collaborations is with my business coaching group. We call ourselves the “DreamBuilders” and we support each other every single Friday by showing up on a call and sharing our breakthroughs and breakdowns. We continue to support each other, offer feedback, give ideas and encouragement, so that no matter how hard it gets, we know that we’re not alone.
If you ask me this is the key factor to success in life. I have regular coaching buddies every week, plus my team, all of whom keep my spirits up, and support me when I fall down in a hole and can’t get up! Because of these allies and and partners, I’ve been able to do things which would otherwise feel impossible.
This week for the first time, my wonderful DreamBuilders Team is going to do a public Teleseminar, hosted by Ted Behr, one of our team members. We are going to be sharing some stories and the secrets of success. This model has definitely worked for us and I know it can work for you too.
No matter what endeavor you want to achieve, harnessing the power of a supportive team, can be key to your success. If you want to know more about the how to create a team or what to do once you have one, please feel free to email me.
