Who Wants to Collab like Ja Rule and Ashanti?

Minus The Tax Evasion

I believe I have been going alone for too long at this point. I forgot how wonderful collaboration is and all of the benefits it provides. Two heads are better than one if you will. All of the projects I have been working on have been lone gunman. Probably not the best option, but when everything is an original idea out of my head it's tough to include people who don’t understand my vision. Then all of a sudden things changed. I had some sessions with different folks from different strokes and it started to click. Collaboration and teamwork are a must and a requirement. You can’t be all things to all people. Alone in a bunker is no way to live.??

The strange thing is that I am typically a social person with some introverted tendencies. Unfortunately, my introversion took over and my day/night job of 12-14 hour days kept me in check. Well, not anymore baby! Things are much different now. I look forward to rearing my head in public and participating in events and prospect conversations. My discovery of my latest collaborations is these items:??

• Enhanced Creativity: What you think might work isn’t exactly what your buyer wants. This should be easy to understand and nothing more said.??
• Improved Problem-Solving: “Yeah who are you Seargent York, taken on the Germans yo’ Damn Self”. That’s from Me, Myself, and Irene in case you guys don’t remember. Once again two heads are better than one.???
• Expand Learning Opportunities:?Whilst working alone sure you can teach yourself things. An example would be me learning how to navigate AI and other tech tools people my age have no clue exist. The other side I see is that people have different experiences in life and collaborating with people allows you to learn different perspectives.???

I am pretty sure that this entire thing is dedicated to me getting my head out of my arse and working with living breathing people again. Pretty sure that my job at the treatment center took over my entire being and then that led to isolation, depression, and anxiety. Now I have to dig myself out of that hole again. Isolation is a killer. There were plenty of nights I wished I was at a meeting or in the gym, but instead, I was answering my admissions phone not having a life. A wise ex of mine told me to create boundaries. I tried and tried but it never worked somehow I always got sucked back into the rat race of bullroney. The new goal is to never let that happen again. Over the years I have always heard “Live life on life’s terms”. Well, sometimes I think that is dumb. If I did that then I would have zero ambition whatsoever. I believe sometimes that is a copout for some people to just accept their fate as being mediocre. People with drive and ambition accept that there are roadblocks, but do not accept their lot in life. That’s the difference between free thinkers and people who conform. Remember that. Don't be the sheep.?

Alright, I guess it's time to go listen to more Ashanti in the gymnasium and figure out my next move. Summer of George! (Even though it's Fall).?

Are pumpkin spice lattes still a thing?
