WHAT IS YOUR DREAM?
Team_Work_0008_001INTRODUCTION
Are you dreaming big enough? That may strike you as a funny question. Dream bigger?
you may ask. I’m not accomplishing the little goals I have,
you may say, and you want me to dream about doing bigger things?
I find that many people are afraid to dream big. They are reluctant to hope for too much because they don’t want to be disappointed. As a result, they satisfy themselves with the mundane.
It doesn’t have to be that way. Even if you suspect in your heart of hearts that you don’t have the talent or resources to accomplish your goals—much less accomplish your wildest dreams—you don’t have to give them up. You just need to change your strategy. Instead of working alone, you need to be part of a team. Here is what a team can do for you:
• It makes you better than you are.
• It multiplies your value to others.
• It enables you to do what you do best.
• It allows you to help others do their best.
• It gives you more time.
• It provides you with companionship.
• It helps you fulfill the desires of your heart.
• It makes everyone on the team a winner.
Teams are incredible things. No task is too great, no accomplishment too grand, no dream too far-fetched for a team. It takes teamwork to make the dream work.
