Success is not a solo project - it is something that needs to be shared. And success is not a competition. There's plenty of it to go around. We just have to work together - with the same goal in mind - to ensure success.
It's all about synergy - the concept of adding one plus one and getting eleven - not two. It's the idea that people working together can accomplish far more than they could working separately. Incredible power can be released when people work together. Associating with like-minded, success-oriented, joyful individuals - or Dream Teaming - is the most amazing success tool that exists.
Anyone who achieves great success - anyone - must have a Dream Team. Instant solutions exist in Dream Teaming. They help you to take your ideas and expand them into greatness. A Dream Team will help you focus on your goals - whatever
they may be. What characteristics should your Dream Team possess? In order to have a successful Dream Team, you'll need at least one more person with whom you have a common purpose. You have to have a partner to think through situations and circumstances.
These people should have limitless vision and work together for a single goal. Both your hearts and your heads have to be in harmony with one another. You may even have several Dream Teams for different goals - that's okay. Always be on
the lookout for the best people and then ask them.
Lastly, remember this: All of us have self-doubt, but remember that your Dream Team sees more in you than you see in yourself. You're there to cheer each other on, to encourage one another when you become weary, to identify bad habits and help change them. The members in your Dream Team tell you the truth so that you can be all that you can be. Together, you and your Dream Team can master and conquer anything.
Action Step: In closing I'd like to offer one simple exercise from "How
To Think Bigger Than You Ever Thought You Could Think" that I'd like you to complete in the week ahead: When you envision your dream life, with whom do you see yourself working and associating? Who are your friends? What characteristics do your Dream Team members possess? It is necessary for you to visualize the kind of people you plan to bring into your life, because these are the people you will attract to you.
This exercise is simple. Sit in your favourite chair, in a quiet room with your favourite inspirational music playing. Have a pen and notebook handy. Now sit back, close your eyes and see your life as you want it to be.
Who's there with you at work and at play? Who are the people in your industry that you admire most? Who do you want to learn from? Who do you want to laugh with? Who do you want to call "friend?" What attributes would these people have? Would they be joyful, funny, talented, positive, unselfish, energetic?
Make a list of 50 prestigious, influential, and powerful people, with whom you want to work, play, grow and do business. This may take a while, but it is one of the most important stepping-stones to achieving the life you envision.
