\"Why<\/h2>\n

The last couple of weeks have been rough on my self-confidence. You know, those times when it feels like life wants to dump everything on you all at once. Thankfully, I have an amazing squad who\u2019ve helped me stay positive and on track. Being part of an incredible group of trusted and supportive business friends can make life so much more fun and rewarding. Just ask Amy Schumer<\/a>, she know\u2019s what I\u2019m talking about<\/a>.<\/span><\/h2>\n

When we\u2019re young we can\u2019t wait to be \u201cgrown up\u201d and independent. We\u2019re obsessed with \u201cme\u201d and \u201cmine.\u201d It\u2019s not until later in life that we realize an infinitely more powerful and fulfilling way to exist is to be interdependent.<\/p>\n

As Steven Covey<\/a>, the author of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People<\/i><\/a> says:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLife is, by nature, highly interdependent. To try to achieve maximum effectiveness through independence is like trying to play tennis with a golf club.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

No matter how talented you are, some things just can\u2019t be done by one person. Instead we must build synergistic relationships with people we truly trust and want to be around, people who we want to see win with us.<\/p>\n

History is littered with examples of great squads: Taylor Swift and her gang, the Brat Pack, Warhol and his posse, Picasso and Matisse — and we could keep going back to Socrates, Plato and co.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019ve got a great squad around me I find I just want to create. I don\u2019t care what we\u2019re creating, I just want to collaborate and share the energy.<\/p>\n

Last week I was grateful for a much needed pep talk from two of my posse. The week before that I was saved from an embarrassing marketing faux pas by one of the group who\u2019d been there before and knew better. This week I hope I\u2019ll be helping one of them out in some way.<\/p>\n

So who\u2019s in your squad? If you don\u2019t have one yet, maybe it\u2019s time to start collecting. Think of people you trust, like to be with, who challenge and excite you. Then think of how you can help them.<\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t be where I am today without my squad and I thank you with all my heart. I am a better and happier person for being part of a posse and you will be to.<\/h2>\n

P.S. Hugs to: Christine, Liam, Denber, Niku, Marial, Ken and Charlene. You all rock!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
