Notes from Jackie

Who is on you team?

In life we either build teams or we try to go it alone. It’s a lot more fun and life is a much easier if we progress forward in teams. We can also get a great deal more accomplished if we indeed have people who are “the wind beneath your wings” as my office manager Rita proposed she would be when she applied for her job…And indeed she has been that and more. But our team members can also be family members, or friends….anyone who helps to lighten our load by carrying some of it. I am so fortunate to have staff, mastermind partners, business partners, consultants and friends that I can call upon when I need them or who are already in place assisting me to do my work. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to do all of this without help—and I am so deeply grateful for their aid. So look around and see who is on your team. Write a list and what they do for you. Look to see where there are holes in your “batting lineup.” Then figure out where are the people you can recruit to join your team—officially or unofficially! Workers,  advisors, emotional support, or other kinds of assistance. Or who can carry more than they are carrying now and be excited to take on new roles? Look at your family members, your roommate or your significant other and where they might be willing to provide more support. Do NOT go through life trying to do it all alone. That will only make you bitter, unhappy and overworked. So be a Conscious Creator and build your team around you with a vortex of joy and shared purpose. Gift your team with continual praise, recognition and gratitude and they will only grow in their support of you!

I call mine “Team Lapin”…what’s yours?
