In our years of experience coaching high-performing clients, we’re yet to meet anyone who really was an 'overnight success', and we’ve certainly never met anyone who achieved success all by themselves. Successful people surround themselves with successful people. More importantly, they surround themselves with individuals who want them to be the very best version of themselves and believe they have potential beyond all measure.
It’s time to identify and build your very own support crew. We’re not talking about your family and friends, but other people who've agreed to support you and advocate for your success. You’ve shown them your plan and vision. You've had meaningful conversations with them about the specific role they play, and together you've agreed outcomes and timeframes. They're people who'll challenge you and celebrate you.
You don’t need just one supportive person – you need enough people to form a team! They don’t need to know each other, but they do need to collectively believe in you. Imagine what would be possible if you ever got them all in a room to robustly discuss the future of you!
Who should be in your strategic support crew?
The future is calling and there are people waiting for you to ask them to be in your support crew. This is not the time to play small. You'll never have today again. There'll be no more waiting, thinking and procrastinating. Who are you going to call first?
If you’re looking for ideas, have a browse through It's not the how or the what but the who: succeed by surrounding yourself with the best, which offers tips for choosing the best people to bring into your inner circle.
