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 customers all swirling 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 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 or even
arrogant, but John Donne was right – none of us functions
at our best when we have to do it all ourselves. Get a
support team. Get 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 once a week
to take care of business, and help each other to be your
BEST.
