Why you and I need a team

Why you and I need a team

Overwhelmed?  Too many irons in the fire?  Taking one step forward and two steps back?teamwork

Feel the weight of the world on your shoulders because you have to do everything yourself?

I think someone (or, many someones) is trying to tell me something.

Dr. Dov Baron, a leader in the personal development arena (and one of my heroes!) who has held a private practice for over 20 years, has only in the last several years begun assembling a strategic team of individuals who are aligned with his mission and purpose.  Asked what he would do differently in his business, he remarked that he would have built a team sooner.

Small business coach, Michael Port, is oft heard commenting that nothing great is accomplished alone.

My coach trainer and mentor, Terri Levine (the Guru of Coaching) has created multiple companies, systems, programs, best selling books, and more all with the support of a super-talented team committed to her (and their) success.

On the surface, real estate tycoon Donald Trump appears singularly self-reliant.  Yet, according to Michael Sexton (President of Trump University), “he could never have reached the pinnacle of success without the support of a great team.”

Gary Keller in The Millionaire Real Estate Agent says that “hiring talent is the key to gaining leverage in your business life.”  In fact, he advises that in most cases, a real estate agent should hire administrative help even before the full development of business systems and tools.

Don’t think you need a team?

Michael Sexton expertly addresses that question on The Trump Blog, which I invite you to read for yourself by clicking HERE.

Being magnetic is all about flow and ease (Does a magnetic struggle to attract?).  Isn’t that what you want for your business and your life?

I know I do.

Giving his advice just before the start of 2008, Mr. Sexton offered that there is no better time to put together a quality team (to release unnecessary stress and overwhelm) than at the beginning of a new year.

Well, I say there’s no better time than right now, no matter what time of year it is!

Don’t you?
