Your Calling is Bigger Than Just You

Part of me wanted to fall into old patterns and be afraid. But, really I wasn’t.  Instead I gazed out the window and watched the landscape as we prepared for take-off.  I heard the engine get louder and I felt the energy build.  Still determined to simply enjoy the experience I leaned my head on the rest and watched the buildings begin to move backwards as we moved forward.

Then it hit me: this is what we must do in building our businesses. We prepare.  We taxi.  We schedule.  We prepare some more.  And then we line up on that runway and go for it full force.  We give it all we’ve got.  We keep our eyes firmly planted on exactly where we want to do.  We move towards take off.  And when we reach a certain momentum, we turn the nose of our plane upwards and our wheels are off the ground.

We’re in the air!  And it’s oh so beautiful.  The surroundings look completely different from up here.  The view is expansive and colorful.  All of our hard work and dedication is taking off.

You know, this whole experience really got me thinking about how it takes a whole team of people with a common goal to get this plane off the ground.  As a solopreneur, it’s so easy to go it alone. Somehow my dreams feel safer when they’re only in my hands.  But, the truth is my Calling is bigger than just me.  Today, right now, as I write this blog post in my journal while on the plane, I make a promise to build my team.  I am going to ask three people to volunteer to serve on my team as my:

1. Spiritual Partner
2. Business Development Partner
3. Editor

The next logical step for me is to think about what I want to receive through these roles and also what I will give in return.  Once I have a clear request, then I will reach out to a few peeps who I feel aligned with and ask them to serve on my team.

So I know that your Calling is bigger than just you too and now I’m wondering…who can serve on your team?  You don’t have to spend money to build your team.  But, you must make it official.  Ask people to join your team.  Let them know what that means to you and what you will give in return.  Share your vision for your business, ask for their support, and open up to receive it.  Stop taxi-ing the airport, gather your team, and take off!

Everyone benefits when you share:
What stops you from sharing your vision & building a team?
