Creating
A Dream Team
Businesses can not run themselves without employees. No matter
how good a company it is, it still needs different people to accomplish
different tasks. When you are trying to make your dreams come true, you need to
approach your plans as you would a business by assembling the best team possible
for your larger goals.
Help is Not a Bad Thing
While it's understandable that people want to do everything on their own, it's
not necessarily the best plan of attack. When you're on your own, you are
putting a lot of pressure on yourself. If you succeed, it's yours to celebrate,
but when you make mistakes, you need to take responsibility for them too. This
is not a bad situation, but it can become burdensome, especially when you have a
really big dream you want to make come true. Here are the people you need to
'hire' for your dream team.
Someone Who Will Be Honest with You
Whether this is a close friend or family member or even your spouse, you need
one person on your team that you can trust unconditionally to help you with your
dreams. This is someone who has the right to tell you when you are doing
something that may not be a good idea, for example. They are also someone you
can turn to when you are trying to decide on a specific step. But you might not
always get the answers that you want. What you will get in return is an unbiased
opinion and another perspective on your dreams and your progress.
Someone Who Will Commiserate
Of course, just as you need someone to be honest with you, you also need someone
that will simply tell you that everything will be alright and that you're not on
the wrong track (even if you are). You need a 'rah rah' person that is going to
be able to talk you down from the difficult times and that will help you stay
positive, even when it seems like everything is headed in the wrong direction. A
friend is a good choice for this team member, but a close sibling can also
provide the necessary support and motivation too.
Someone Who Has Experience
It can help if you have a sort of mentor in this team of dream helpers. This
would be a person who has already achieved or is in the process of achieving
what you want. They can help you with specific questions you have along the way,
plus provide you with access to resources that you might not have found on your
own. This person will become a sort of partner in your progress and can act as
someone else to bounce ideas off of.
Setting Up the Team
Instead of labeling these people in your head as people to turn to, let them in
on your plans and what you need from them. Be specific about what you want from
them and what you don't want from them in order to create the exact supportive
environment you need. Keep them updated about what successes you have in order
to show them just how helpful they are in your life.
This team can be even bigger than three people. Some of the most successful
people have over fifty people they can turn to for questions and concerns about
their current goals. But you will also want to know that more people are not
necessarily better for this team. Choose the people that help keep you on track,
as many as that might take.
