Scratch that....
80% of the time, you need people to win in life.
I remember someone who talked about failing in a particular venture, they talked about trying everything they know and doing everything and still failed woefully.
Then they met a couple of people and these people helped her, and that was it. She became very successful after that, she tapped into the information they helped her with and she became very successful at it.
The people she talked to are hoarding that particular information, sharing it among their circle of friends and maybe collecting money for sharing that information from a few others they want to let into their circle.
They made sure these information never gets to anyone else out there, they try as much as possible to hide it, and only share it with people they like or people that can be willing to pay anything for it.
Connection is key
Information is the game changer.
The people who hold it are always going to hold it, and unless you join their circle or they let you in. Every life-changing venture requires information meeting opportunity. A lot of people can literally change their life by partnership, true hardwork and connection.
It's almost difficult to get all the information you need to change your life on your own. While it's impossible, it's almost rare. If you look at the richest people in the world, they were leveraging people. Investing in prospects and talent.
They put money into the right places, and built their businesses that actually made them rich, and they didn't even need to do anything special. They leverage people, information and money, that was it.
Over a year ago when I reached out to someone to build a business opportunity. They were thinking of the short term because their dream wasn't big enough.
Partnership, people and money are the biggest things you can ever leverage. This is how you can offer less and gain more, because the next person is offering a little bit more too. I've reached out to people for business opportunities and partnership and a lot of times I've often gotten excuses.
Most times I laugh because these people just straight up underestimate the power of partnership, the power of people and how shared efforts, information, money, framework and systems can actually built empires, successful businesses and things that are incredibly profitable and this isn't even about money alone
Build benefits, small efforts that compounds
In my lifetime, I've benefited a lot from partnerships, and most time the only problem is the other people being either too complacent, too greedy or simply underestimating the importance of having people. This is why I hardly force partnership. When people don't have the same mindset as you do, then you can never build anything profitable with them.
You cannot force it, it has to come naturally, people need to see what you're trying to do, how it can be benefit them too, and be willing. Willingness is what birthes efforts. You cannot build things with people who are not interested, unwilling or just simply not into it. It's better they show unwillingness than pretend.
Nevertheless Partnerships, shared information and collaborations are how you win. Also, winning will never come easy, failure is inevitable and that's why meeting the people that exactly matches whatever you're aiming to build is better than anything you can ever have in life.
