Sum of the parts (6/2/14)

When I spent nearly $10K on coaching to prepare me for my book tour and PR campaign I wasn’t considering some of the fringe benefits that may develop. Roberto and Starley are more than just a couple of people who took my limited disposable income for services that were to be offered at a future date. They became teammates and friends based on trust and mutual respect.

Regardless of what someone may want you to believe there isn’t one success story that is the result of a single individuals efforts. Success is a team sport. Ego, pride or fear…I can’t tell you why people don’t want to let you in behind the scenes. I can tell you those success stories are the sum of countless inputs that can be either directly or indirectly attributed to someone else.

Success may be having some results to speak of, but the success society recognizes are the stories that stand out because they seem outlandish. However, there is only one way to develop the success stories that people want to talk about. You need to develop synergy between your teammates.

I’m looking for the type of results that come from the idea of 1 + 1 = 3. The only way to make that happen is to work with top notch professionals with whom you have a relationship based in trust and respect.
