For most of my life, I've been a self-starter, even a bit of a loner. If I wanted to do something, I'd do it - regardless of the feedback I got from friends and family.
When I decided to go to college and law school, I went all out. Despite the fact that my high school grades were terrible and I had no track record to prove that I could do it. My parents thought I had lost my mind, and my friends couldn't relate.
When I started my law practice directly out of law school, I bucked the system. Almost no one thought it could be done. My colleagues in law school all wanted cushy jobs with big firms. The lawyers I knew told me it was impossible to go into practice without at least ten years of experience. My family held their collective breath.
When I started investing in real estate, building spec homes, same thing, I had no builder's license. I had never build anything before. I couldn't read a set of plans.
You see, I'm a bit of a rebel. For many years, one of the most motivating phrases I knew was "You can't do that". Whenever I heard that, my inner voice said "Oh yeah, just watch me".
I knew I could figure out anything that I wanted to. If I made a mistake, I'd fix it and move on. "How else am I going to make my way down the 'road less traveled", I thought.
My determination and perseverance were my greatest asset - and my biggest weakness.
Over time, I realized that there was a better way. I learned that even though I was on the road "less traveled" I wasn't alone. There weren't a lot of people on my life path, but there were some. I had some company.
People that had learned from the mistakes I was about to make. People that could help me course correct before I got into a real jam. People with a better vantage point and more experience. People who could save me lots of time, money, energy, and psychological wear and tear.
They are called mentors
I've learned that the only two ways to learn to be successful are mistakes and mentors.
Mistakes are the hard way; the school of hard knocks.
Mentors are the easiest, most direct way t success.
And no one said it has to be hard.
If you are a successful business person, you're probably proud of your accomplishments and confident in your ability to deliver results. But consider this: Study after study has proven unequivocally that teams accomplish MUCH more than individuals. Even individuals who are superstars.
Think about it, as good a basketball player as Michael Jordan was, he was much more effective when he was teamed up with Scotty Pippen. Once separated, neither one of them reached the same level of success.
You need to use the power of teamwork to do the same thing. By signing up for my Wealth Accumulation System, you will learn how to put together your very own wealth team and how to structure powerful relationships that can make the whole MUCH greater than the sum of its parts.
You can't be great at everything. That doesn't make you defective, it makes you human. Good teammates pick up where you leave off. But, in business you've got to approach teamwork intelligently.
Well run teams can bring you to greater heights than you can even imagine. Start teaming up intelligently today.
