Build your team

There is no I in TEAM is there? You may have the best idea and the best strategic plan, but without your initial team to help you strive for it and achieve your dream you will never make it no matter how hard you try.

It really is true that communication, contacts and networking is the most valuable asset any one person can have, and this even accounts for students studying trying to get their qualifications. You may be the best writer in the world, but unless you know the right people and you have good skills to help you get recognised, it may only be your bedroom that knows how much of a talented writer you are.

When you analyse any talent that is universally known, behind the scenes they have their teams to do work for them. For example, Justin Bieber takes photographs while he is out and about, but I can almost guarantee you it isn’t him that posts his stuff up on Facebook and Twitter – he will have a Social Media manager who schedules them and tags them in the appropriate way to boost SEO about him as an artist.

See, having a team makes things easier for you and it all starts with association. ‘Association breeds similarity’ – and quite literally – if you have a team of people that share the same vision as you, believe in you and WANT to help you make it, will they not do everything in their power to ensure that happens? Of course they will. Yet if you surround yourself with ’empty’ individuals who have no enthusiasm about what you’re doing, are not willing to help you at times of need and don’t give you enough time of day – I’m pretty sure they will be of little use to you, if any at all.

So build your team and make things happen for you faster. Build that ‘collective intelligence’ within your circle of friends, which can be done by working out who is good at what and helping one another to reach your full potential.

There is no such thing as bad news

‘There is no such thing as bad news.’ By this I mean generally – day to day – when you hear negative comments about you and they can instantly ruin your day but there is something most of us don’t realise.

Those that usually foul horrible language against us are usually jealous, so turn the badness into goodness. Aim to be better when you hear it or read it, don’t change but stay yourself and prove to them and to yourself that you are beautiful because there is only one of you, so love yourself!

Any energy invested in you – whether bad or good – makes you a more powerful being. It gets people talking, speculating, guessing what you’re up to.

People tend to be against positivity because it is much easier to complain than it is to say wise words to the world and make others feel good about themselves. Change is usually frowned upon, that is why the government and those in power like the masses to be ‘sheep’ – followers in other words – so the rich can be rich and the poor can be poor.

Don’t allow yourself to fall into this trap – there is more than enough wealth to go around for the whole world plus more, so just believe and you shall achieve.

The world is yours – literally – so don’t hold yourself back or feel deprived of self-worth because of others. Use their energy to your advantage to achieve exactly what it is you want and desire.
