Who wants to be on your team? Who wants you on their team? What do you bring to the table? Do you qualify to be on the team?
These questions were posed to me back in 2003 by one of my most influential teachers, Robert K. They are ingrained in my subconscious.
The interesting part about these questions is, which perspective are reading them from? Are you the business owner or the employee? The answers means different things to differing paradigms.
Even before this Real Estate Course with Robert, I had begun to develop a curriculum (I’m an educator, what can I say) of all of the skills that I want to learn and add to my very powerFULL toolbelt. These questions kicked my curriculum into overdrive.
Me, being the business owner – who wants to be on my team? and why? Is my idea/project that inspiring that others want to be part of it? Well, if you cant sell or at least communicate your idea then no one even knows about it. You better have enough confidence in your ability to engage someone and then articulate your idea, with energy. Highest energy wins and is contagious. “People will come from miles around, to watch you burn with Enthusiasm” – Dolf DeRoos – (close to the topic).
The more people that hear about your idea/project the more energy it contains. (this is topic for another entry)
What skills, experiences, and mindset do you have to qualify? If there is a team playing a game that you do not qualify for yet, then what do you need to do to get there?
