Are you a self-starter? There are those that can just get things done, do it seamlessly and do it all by themselves. And then there is everybody else. We need help. There is no shame in that. There is no shame in asking for it either. In fact, if you have resources available – it’s a smart strategy. People often will and want to help. The difficulty is not getting help. It’s the time that people have to devote in order to help. Within that process, we can lose sight of things and forget to actually help someone in need and do the things we promised. We mean well – but time has a nasty habit of passing quickly and it seems we never have enough of it. In order to help someone, we either have to appropriate time and/or make sure we keep our words. We’re all guilty as charged. Everybody is busy.
However, you gotta do what you gotta do. Helping is partnering. When asked – step up and make it happen.
We all want to be successful. How much and what do we need to do to make that happen? How do we measure that success? It’s never an overnight sensation. That doesn’t happen. It takes time and it takes a partnership. And, it can be measured in increments. Take it step by step. Evaluate your progress and learn from the process. Mistakes and accomplishments – both are a good measuring stick.
In order to really find success, you have to find the right alignments, create symmetry, and learn to collaborate, build relationships, and develop a trust within yourself that will allow you to make good decisions. Those decisions, if properly thought will advance you, help you achieve victory and allow you to grow, especially if it partners with the right tools and resources. Partnership does not have to be people. It can be all kinds of accessories. Think about all that you have and maximize it. Leverage the resources and make partners with them as well as the people you know.
That’s how to achieve success.
