Not Alone

Neil Armstrong is famous for being the first man to walk on the moon. But it was obviously not a solo adventure. No significant achievement ever is.

Visionaries need engineers to figure out how to get it done. Engineers need accountants to figure out how much it will cost. Accountants need supporters to provide funding. In the end every American played his part in getting a man to the moon.

You need a team to accomplish your goals, especially the big ones. Your team may consist of your spouse, family, friends or associates. They may provide you with ideas, encouragement or the use of your products or services.

To form your team, think of how reaching your goal will benefit them. If they will truly benefit, don’t be afraid to communicate your goal to them and ask for their help. Also be willing to help them reach their goals. As a win-win relationship develops, everyone will move forward.

If the road to success seems lonely, bring along a friend.
