Teamwork
Often I am asked the value of having multiple people work on a project. The true value, as I see it, if you can assemble a team of individuals who have uniquetalents, and all are willing to listen and learn from one another, no one can beat you.
In my day-to-day dealings with clients, I am part of their team, helping them withsolutions, and they are part of my team, helping me to improve ourservices. I like to think of it as a Virtual Company with multiple resources.
Sometimes I'm asked, "How do we get our people motivated to participate in thisproject?" I reply, "Believe they have value, show them that their input is important and will beconsidered, and that if you can help people uncover what motivates themindividually and show them how self-motivation is their greatest asset, then I thinkyou will find them ready, willing and able to help".
I don't believe that people want to be negative, I just think that sometimes weare so bombarded on a daily basis with it, that it's hard to shift gears back to theway we want to be and think.
So often we look for answers on the outside, when the true answers are reallywithin us. Sometimes we get stuck, and that's when we need helpers:quotes, stories, visual and audio aids, seminars, a coach, or a friendly ear from a friend or family member to remind us of what we want and that we are good enough to have it.
So the next time you feel a little negative, remember your helpers and putyourself back into the mindset you want and be part of this worldwide team tryingto make a difference "one person at a time" (meaning starting with ourselves first).
Here's to a wonderful, bright new year and your success. Be inspired to do something that you've wanted to do for a long time. Find ways to keep yourself motivated. With commitment, action and constant assessment you will be on your way to success.
