Marketing Golden Nugget: Work With Others To Achieve Your Goals
Wow, I can't believe it's 2011. Time continues to march on, whether we have achieved our goals or not. We are at that pivotal time when we both look back and assess last year's goals and look forward to plan for the coming year's goals.
I want to suggest a strategy for you to consider as you solidify your goals for 2011: Consider working with others to help achieve your goals. There are a number of valid reasons for you to do this.
1. Synergy- When people join forces to work on a common goal, the achievements they can accomplish together are often more than they can accomplish separately. The excitement and mental stimulation that two or more can create will often make the impossible possible. As the Proverbs says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."
2. Accountability- Sometimes we let our goals slide by taking on new goals or putting off actions we know we need to do. But when we work with someone else, it's harder to do that because another person is counting on us. By nature, we want to come through for others and not let people down.
3. Financially- When two people work together, they can often split the cost that each would have to pay if they were working alone. When you team up with someone else, you may find that the goals which were once out of reach are now obtainable.
4. Efficiently- Let's face it, sometimes we need skills and expertise that goes beyond our ability. There are few things that work so sweetly together as a project where we offer a strength and our partner offers another strength. This can allow us to accomplish a goal where every step is achieved with the highest degree of quality and expertise.
5. Accessibility- When two people work together on a goal, they have access to a network much larger than the one they bring to the table. Whether the network consists of potential clients or professional relationships, the network of two is much deeper and can yield much more fruit that if we went at the goal alone.
I know that there are the downsides and pitfalls of working with others, and I don't think we should overlook them. But having done due diligence, authors can often find a path to achieving their goals in 2011 in ways that they might not think possible if they were to try it alone.

So many people have asked me about the video I mentioned in my last post on "How To Publish Your Blog To Kindle" that I decided to post the video right here for you to watch if you are interested. Remember, the quality is not nearly as good as it is for my newsletter subscribers, which you can become for free just by signing up today. Heck, I'll even give you instant access to over 45 minutes of free videos if you sign up, as well as all new videos I create.
Enjoy this video. (If you are reading this from your e-mail or a syndicated source, you will have to visit my blog to see the video).
