Habit 6: Synergize

!±8± Habit 6: Synergize

"To be able to win you need a TEAM, and TEAM simply stands for "Together Everyone Achieves Magic", show me someone who succeeded all by himself and I will show you a lier."

Synergizing is the most effective form of cooperation. This happens when you get together with people and then work in a constructive manner. You work in such a way that you pool in everyone's best skills and create a force that is beneficial for everyone. It is all about creative and constructive cooperation.

Look around you. The best people in the world-the richest people, the most successful people-have never been alone. They have their own collection of people whom they associate with; people who have brought them towards their accomplishment of goals. Moreover, how are these people selected? They are most often handpicked by the successful people... they are people having different talents, talents that the successful people themselves are somewhat limited in.

Running my previous business we had accomplished a lot of goals. On the face of it, I was the one who was successful! I was constantly reminded by the fact that a brilliant team with a mediocre coach could win any game! A mediocre team with a brilliant coach could potentially win games, but with a bit more luck on their side. I had a brilliant team - Sela Vie! Today in my new business entities I am trying to replicate those successes by picking my TEAM very carefully...

This ties in with the first habit of being proactive. When we started out, we made no bones about the fact that everyone has their shortcomings. Even the most successful people in the world falter at some point. Being successful does not mean that you have to be perfect in everything. In fact, people who are really successful have just one main talent that they bank upon and apply a measure of focus to. Not focus like a fluorescent light, more like a lazer beam.

But, the world does not run on one talent alone. A person cannot reach the superstar status of success because they just have one amazing talent. This talent is on the fore, but in the background there are several other things working. A super rockstar has an amazing band to back them up. A hotshot politician has a whole cabinet of ministers to assist them. An Oscar-winning actor had the entire crew of the movie at their disposal. A writer had their inspiration and a good publisher to market their books in the right manner. A prizewinning athlete had a coach and several other people to help them out.

The thing that you have to take away from this is that success is not an individualistic thing. Even though we feel that some single person has achieved success, the fact is that there are many hands to support them... hands that have carried them to where they have reached. When I wrote "Would Driving a Porsche Change Your Life?" I mentioned this fact, I also indicated that each of these individuals who Impacted my life would get a personally signed copy of the book.If you are one of them and read this, I thank you once again!!!

This is what synergy is. Synergizing with people means to choose people to guide you and then collaborate with them in the best manner possible. The person who can collect the right talent is the one who goes places.

Now, every person is going to be different. You may need someone for their particular skill but you may not like the person. Or you may not like a particular habit in someone. But, should you let that come in the way? People who are aspiring to be highly effective should not think about these petty differences. They should look at the larger picture and carry on. This is what needs to be done, if you are looking for real success.

Synergize! Get along with people who have different talents than you have, and make the use of these talents. Build a collective forge of talents and sally on forth. The world today is not about individualist glory at all. There are so many people helping each other out there. You make the most of it as well. Find the right people and seek their support. If you are looking for success, then this is one thing that you definitely cannot avoid. I have long since had the attitude of, Focus on your strengths, and where possible outsource your weaknesses.

Remember today, you and I have a choice...LIVE TODAY NOW!
