YOUR TEAM FOR ACHIEVEMENT

The poet wrote that "no man is an island" and that is
certainly true for business people. By definition, business
flourishes in the "market-place", with vendors and
suppliers, staff and employees, and customers all around!
It's how business gets done.
At the same time, however, too many business people feel
alone. In some micro-businesses, one person is quite
literally the owner, the manager, the staff, the janitor
and the bookkeeper. That can be lonely and inefficient.
Trying to work from home, or from a one-person office can
be distracting and (at times) depressing.
Even if you work with other people, however, too often the
feeling or sense is still that we are "all alone,"
especially if you are in a position of leadership.
One of the most valuable resources any entrepreneur,
professional or small business leader can have is a Master
Mind team of safe, trusted, colleagues who will listen and
advise you. Having a TEAM of people who will be honest with
you, who understand your challenges and will share their
wisdom can be a HUGE advantage!
If you don't have a "kitchen cabinet" or unofficial "board
of directors," get one! That may sound strong, but the
John Donne was right--none of us functions at our best when
we have to do it all ourselves. Get a team. Get some
advisors you trust, people who know and understand your
situation, people who do not compete with you and who will
not play games. Meet with them about once a week for
breakfast or lunch, and help each other to do and become
your best!
