Why Should You Go from 'Me' to 'We'?
|
Howdy, Zack here. Are you a lone ranger or a team player? Since pivoting in 2019 from running companies to coaching them, I felt the allure of going solo. At first, it felt freeing and fun. No team meetings, no consensus-building—just me and my thoughts. But soon, I realized I was missing something quite key. It was the power of 'We' and not just 'Me'. The four walls of my home office became my echo chamber. I was confined, not just physically but mentally. Sound familiar? In Top Teams, we endorse eight Top Leader Mindset principles; among them, Collaboration holds a prime spot. The mantra is simple but profound: 'WE grow faster than ME.' In a collective, I can see your blind spots, and you can see mine. We also discuss the benefits of diverse thought. Just think of the last time you were stuck. Was it easier to get unstuck by racking your brain and trying harder, or was it better to gain the perspective of others? My wife, Gwen, and I see this concept play out often. The other day, one of our 11th-grade triplets wrestled with a tricky math problem. A gentle reminder that they have two siblings in the same course led to a quick collective 'aha' moment. On a professional note, I run two collaborative ventures: Top Coach, a private community for business coaches, and Top Teams, a coached Business Operating System company. I'm also a part of a Coach Cohort where four of us meet weekly to support each other on a deeper and more trusted level. So, though I might operate under the title of a 'solopreneur,' there's nothing 'solo' about my journey anymore. 3 WAYS
Just remember: Collaboration is key as WE grow faster than just me. 😁😊😆 3 FAVES
Until next Wednesday, find or create a group so you can go from Me to We. 👩🏼🦱👨🏾🦳👱🏻♂️🧑🏻 |

Howdy, Zack here. Stop it. Stop doing the things that aren't working for you. Sound too simple? Well, it's not. It's one of the hardest things to do. Yet, funny enough, once you've done it, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. You know what's not working for you. Ugh, lump in my throat. I have a few that come to mind right now. It might be eating too much, not working out, wasting time on social media, getting caught up in drama, focusing on big world issues (like politics), or pretty...
Howdy, Zack here. I love you. Yes, you. And, that love is not conditional. We all have our faults. I know when I've been at my worst, that I need others' love the most. Unless you've been living under a rock or you've intentionally disconnected (can't blame you), you've seen the effect of deliberate division — the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump. No matter your political beliefs, this sort of hatred has no place in our world. It stems from the polarization of our...
Howdy, Zack here. When will it be time? We often wait for that perfect 'when' — the moment everything falls into place. But what if 'when' is actually right now? As a dad of triplets on the brink of their senior year, time feels more precious than ever. Everything has been one-and-done for us. Before long, my wife, Gwen, and I will be seeing our 3 off to college. Thus, each moment matters more. Can you relate? When certain chapters come to an end, we tend to feel the gravity of our decisions...
