There is no ‘I’ in team, they say. ‘They’ are somewhat wrong. In sales, as in life, we are who we surround ourselves with. Have you ever noticed that people who spend time with each other on a regular basis have the same catch phrases and mannerisms? Of course you have. These are the tangibles, the similarities you can see and hear.
The same diction isn’t the problem, isn’t the intangibles that effect a person’s ability to succeed or not.
In seemingly insignificant ways, those we associate with on a regular basis rub off on us. They, in part, dictate our day to day operations and how we conduct ourselves on a both professional and personal level. Napoleon Hill discusses the concept of creating a Mastermind Alliance – a group of individuals who are smarter, stronger, more creative and more successful that you. Henry Ford wasn’t the brightest man in the world, but he surrounded himself with people who knew what he didn’t – and for that – became great.
We train our Sales Professionals to surround themselves with positive people. However, sometimes people in our organization forget that that same principle goes for them too.
By allowing negative people into your life, you are green lighting others to interfere with your ability to become as successful as you imagine.
There very much is an ‘I’ in team. YOU are responsible for your team, just as much as you are responsible for yourself. If you have a cancer-type person or group in your life, in order to strengthen your team you must eliminate them. By strengthening your team, you strengthen yourself. By strengthening yourself, you strengthen your team.
Without a solid team around you, you can expect mediocre results.
- BEAT CANCER.
- ELIMINATE BULLSHIT.
- DO YOUR BEST and stop using the word ‘try’ or ‘tried’.
- TAKE PRIDE IN EVERYTHING YOU DO OR DON’T DO IT.
There are plenty of I’s in MILLION$ and BILLION$.
