Teams and Advisors are Important - Business in a Vacuum Very Rarely Creates Success
Entrepreneurs and career professionals often find themselves stuck in a business situation and can’t seem to identify a clear path around, over, or through the barrier that is keeping them from reaching the next level. Perhaps they are too close to the issue or too connected to it. Perhaps they have a mental block and just can’t come up with the ideas, or, in some cases, maybe, they are the problem.
Finding an advisory group, whether it is formal or informal, is very important. They can be your friends, colleagues, or associates. Some of them should come from different industries and bring with them different ideas and perspectives. We need people…success is very rarely created in a vacuum.
We saw the importance and the immediate benefit of leveraging the collective knowledge of the New York City Webgrrls last week. I facilitated the Webgrrls HotSeat, a workshop designed to help the participants clearly identify an immediate issue that is holding them back and then collectively offer ideas to help that person address the issue and at least start the process of getting past it. It was a great session and it was amazing to see the depth of knowledge and the willingness of all of the participants to share their information and their insights.
Below are some examples of the issues that the participants were facing at the Webgrrls HotSeat last week.
