In this week’s video blog our expert guide, Don Hadley, discusses entrepreneurs and successful business owners and how they can’t go it alone.

There is a myth out there that all entrepreneurs are wildly rich and successful and got there on their own. The truth is that most entrepreneurs do, indeed, like money, but they want independence, to make something of value and create something different.

The second part of the myth is that they get there on their own. The reality is that most entrepreneurs and businesses cannot do it alone. They need a team of people and support behind them to continue to be successful. It takes the team, a culture, and people to reach the level of success in the myth. Teams add value to the equation not decrease the value.

We encourage you to ask yourself the following questions:

• When was the last time your organization and leaders reviewed the successes it has had and acknowledge all those involved to attain it?

• What systems do you have in place to ensure you aren’t going it alone?

• Do you have your support teams identified: employees, customers and suppliers that will help increase longevity, capabilities and results for the organization?

If your leaders and organization need help identifying a support team so they aren’t going it alone, contact our expert guides by calling 800-786-4332 or email JSabatini@AppliedVisionWorks.com. Your success is in plain sight. It just takes determination and action and only takes 30 minutes to get started!
