My March word of the month is :
Collaborate
verb
"to work jointly on an activity, especially to produce or create something."
As I pick up the book project once again, I realize that a big part of what has been holding me back is that I would prefer to be working with others rather than working alone.
I know that having others to bounce things off of is an important part of my process. When I get bogged down doing things that I don't enjoy or doing things that I am not proficient at, I tend to not do them.
It's a bit childish I know.
However when I COLLABORATE with others who may enjoy or be good at doing the things that hold me back , I can use my energies on those things which I excel at.
My mentors have all said that none of us are great at everything. In fact they often say that we only need to be great at about 5% of what crosses our plate. The rest of the stuff?
Find some one who is great at that and partner up or work with them.
In yesterday's writing I put it out to you and The Universe that I need help with this project.
I received a variety of responses such as "I'm in!" or "Contact so and so" end even "let me know how I can help". The one response that kind of hit me between the eyes was
"what exactly do you need help with?"
Duh!
Great question!
I am so grateful fr the responses and offers.
I am excited to realize that when I ask for something I can find it.
Now I have to learn how to ask for exactly what I need.
Like :
I would like some help picking out the best of the best.
Or
I would like some help building a website.
Or
I would like some help with social media.
Ask and you shall receive.
What a concept!
