WANT TO GET MORE DONE / MAKE MORE MONEY ?
Consider partnering on projects .
Now , just to be clear – I ’ m not necessarily suggesting you take on a full-time partner for your entire business .
At least , not at first – not unless you already know someone really well who is the perfect fit in every way .
What I am suggesting is partnering on individual projects .
For example , you have an idea for a software product .
But you ’ ve never taken a software product to market before , so you call up your friend who ’ s done it several times .
You talk things through , and decide to work together because :
His skills and strengths compliment yours – you bring different assets to the table and together you make a better team than either one of you working alone .
Two heads are better than one . Together you come up with improvements in both the marketing and the product itself that you likely never would have thought of on your own .
You can keep each other accountable for getting your tasks done .
And together , the two of you bring more affiliates to the table than either one of you can individually .
In the process of working on this project – which is a success - the two of you come up with great ideas for your next project , and so forth .
Partnering can be a great way to get more accomplished in less time , to defeat the procrastination monster and to make things happen , fast . Just be sure to choose your partners and your projects wisely .
