TELL PEOPLE YOU NEED THEM - It just happened. This was the day I realized I can't go on doing everything myself. It was a big step in my personal development as a human being and as a leader. I'm a person that always had vision, creative ideas and a lot of energy. But I realized that as your vision becomes larger than you are, you will either choose from two options: Give up on your vision OR get help.
I chose the 2nd option of course.
It doesn't matter how successful you are, no matter how accomplished or how important you are. You will always need people to see your vision through. It's inevitable. This is why you need to tell people that you need them, that you can't win without them by your side. It's not how big your brain capacity is, it's how many brains you can "borrow". I mean, why just stop with their brains, when you can also use a person's hands and their hearts also.
I have this belief that if we can't solve problems by ourselves, we CAN solve any problems TOGETHER. It just makes so much sense. Collaborating is such an underutilized strategy by most people. They feel like they can do everything by themselves, but really, it shouldn't be the case. I learned it the hard way that you need people to build your dreams, otherwise, it will be very difficult to make it a reality.
I want you to take some time today to let the people around you know that you need them very much, that you appreciate them a lot. Always be grateful and thankful that they're there for you no matter what the circumstances are.
