Picking Partners

At some point, you’ll realize, the same as me, that you can’t do it all by yourself. There are too many things to do in business. It’s virtually impossible to accomplish anything of significant impact alone. Therefore, we must learn to develop and nurture partnerships. I’ve learned too, those I partner with must be experts in areas I am weak.

I’ve got a great friend. He’s exceptional at business development. I am competent in the area, but he’s far better than I. There will always be people that do things better or worse than me, so I don’t feel any insecurity when approaching these individuals.

Keep your objective first and foremost in your mind. Then determine the skills needed to accomplish your tasks. I’m building another team based on this criteria. I would suggest you incorporate these principles as well. Meet regularly, individually and collectively. Review your progress. Discuss and eliminate challenges. Enhance and grow your strengths.

Today, Wednesday, January 18, 2022, I am grateful that:

I got a chance to connect with a developer today. We’ll connect later in the week and hopefully come to terms.

Sherman and I spoke briefly. It’s great being able to commune with someone on the same or similar frequency. With regards to life, business, and general outlook on most situations.

Rod and I spoke as well. He was able to provide an update about a mutual friend. The friend Ron is dying and I was glad Rod gave some information and insight about a guy I’ve known for roughly four years.

How do you choose your partners?

How often do you meet?

Do you have a preset agenda?

How do you build each other up?

How do you hold each other accountable?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
