We've all heard one of our parents say... "God gave you a brain... use it!" when you did something wrong. Really? I'm the only one? OK, I'm going to have to work through that one... but in the meantime, I'll make my point.
What about your people? Even if you don't have "people", what about the people you interact with? These people have brains (insert joke here). My question is this... are you using them?
There are people all around you. They have a variety of strengths... many of which you don't have. Some of them have a similar mission to you. Find those people and collaborate with them. You will not only be more profitable, you will be happier. Did you know that you are 30 times more likely to laugh with other people in the room than if you were by yourself? We are hardwired to collaborate.
Next month for Leadership Book of the Month, Randy Mayes and I are highlighting the book, Power of 2: How to Make the Most of Your Partnerships at Work and in Life. It's a great reminder to expand on something our parents have always told us (or me) to do!
Go get out there and utilize at that potential around you!
