This weekend, the best golfers from around the world will compete for The Presidents Cup. As with any major golf tournament, you can expect to see amazing shots, low scores, and intense competition. But, tune in over the next couple of days and you’ll also see something more…the incredible power of collaboration.
Golf is typically a solitary endeavor for these pros with each man competing in his own self interest. For the Presidents Cup, the players are competing as a team. And some really interesting things happen when would-be adversaries join forces together. Everyone’s game is elevated resulting in a greater sense of purpose, even lower scores, and many more smiles.
How can you implement this effective strategy of collaboration in your business? What would happen to your network marketing or direct sales business if you shifted your perspective to view your current rivals as potential partners? Amazing things can be created when you begin working with instead of against.
Imagine the synergistic possibilities you can unleash when you combine your energy and resources to educate your team members, market your products, and elevate our profession together! Having a combination party or meeting improves your presentation skills, harnesses the vitality of teamwork, and expands everyone's business building network.
Stop trying to just get ahead. It’s much more fun to get there together!
Keep Leading Forward!

I so loved your blog today. How true it is in any endeavor if we "team" up the load is lighter and the shared rewards are greater.
I had never thought of this in a business sense, but what fun a makeup party might be at my club house for instance, with a few others providing a different "center" of operation.
