💡 Growth Starts with the People Around You💡

I was reminded at the end of last week of just how important it is to be part of a truly great team, because who you surround yourself with shapes not only your Success, but also your Growth.

No one can know, understand, or do everything alone, not even with the help of a good AI assistant! (Go ahead, give your AI a round of applause now. 😉)

Two excellent quotes come to mind that capture this idea:

☑️ "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." - Jim Rohn (motivational speaker)

☑️ "It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do." - Steve Jobs (former Apple CEO)

For me, this means:

 🔷Excellence is contagious: If you surround yourself with talented, high-performing people, you naturally become more knowledgeable and motivated to strive for excellence.

 🔷Listen and learn: When you take the time to listen to your team members' ideas and perspectives, you give yourself the chance to learn new things and grow.

 🔷Embrace being challenged: If you're open to being questioned or challenged as part of a team, then collectively you'll be able to devise the best solutions. In a strong team, each person's expertise pushes everyone to think differently and aspire higher.

So, being part of a great team not only accelerates your personal Growth, challenges you to do better, but also builds a shared sense of purpose as you work toward common goals with others.

How about some "homework"? Take the time to reflect on how being part of a great team has changed and helped you grow.
