Last week, we talked about asking for help. (You need to do this. For real. Ask for help.)
But asking is a whole lot easier if you have someone trustworthy to ask.
Which brings us to the importance of surrounding yourself with great people.
When things get messy and frenetic, having awesome people in your corner is critical. (For the quality of your work and your sanity, too.)
In the same way we all need friends and family to help us bear the load when our lives get hard, we need coworkers and team members who can do the same in the midst of work chaos. (And there will be work chaos. It’s inevitable.)
Who can you call when the proverbial s#!% hits the fan? Who will go in the trenches with you? Who will say, “No problem. We can get this done.”?
Building these teams takes effort and time, but the payoff is enormous. So this week, start looking for your people. If you already have them, say thank you. And if you don’t know where to start, give us a call. We’d love to be in your corner.
