<h3><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><span style="color: #800080;">Tomorrow, I&#8217;m flying my entire team of 5 to the island of Maui for a month to conduct a business experiment&#8230;</span></span></h3>
<p>&#8230; about whether or not it&#8217;s really possible to create an entrepreneurial lifestyle that actually gives you freedom (meaning, not just a bunch of marketing fluff).</p>
<p>You see, I&#8217;ve rented a huge house right by the beach where we will be living together, working together, and playing together&#8230;</p>
<p>And we&#8217;ve all set personal stretch goals that include things like &#8220;riding a 40 foot wave&#8221;, &#8220;meditating every single day&#8221;, &#8220;going on a daily morning walk&#8221; and my own personal intention to &#8220;learn a new form of martial arts (hoping to find a Kung Fu master) and progress from a newbie to a higher level belt.&#8221;</p>
<p>And more importantly, we will be launching our new <strong>&#8220;Sold-Out Seminar Secrets&#8221;</strong> course from this island paradise (so exciting)&#8230;</p>
<p>So&#8230;.I guess we&#8217;ll see if it&#8217;s actually possible to follow your heart, work exclusively with the people you love, have a business that does great things for the world, and provides you with the luxury to afford such a wild and crazy lifestyle&#8230;</p>
<p>Because I&#8217;m genuinely interested to find out if it works. Aren&#8217;t you?</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #993366;">Why am I sharing this with you&#8230;</span></h3>
<p>Because there&#8217;s a few juicy nuggets in this for you&#8230;</p>
<p>You see, this decision, to invest a boat load of money just to bring my team out to Hawaii with me was one of the scariest and most challenging decisions of my business life.</p>
<p><em><strong>Why?</strong></em></p>
<p>Because I&#8217;m fully stepping into the belief that a business can truly be about a team, working together, to create a common vision.</p>
<p>People always say that they have a team, yet when it really comes down to it, most just have employee&#8217;s or independent contractors that they &#8220;go to&#8221; when they need help.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s not a team, because it puts the success on the shoulders of just one person. And I don&#8217;t know about you, but I don&#8217;t like doing all the heavy lifting myself.</p>
<p>Instead, I want to create a business where it&#8217;s all for one, and one for all. I want to succeed and fail together. I want to share in the triumph and suffer in the defeat, with my people.</p>
<p>Because let&#8217;s face it, this business game is hard at times. <span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">In fact, it can be downright scary.</span></p>
<p>Yet I can tell you one thing for sure, it feels a whole lot easier to move through your sh*t when you are surrounded by people who are as equally invested in your vision as you are.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #993366;">How you can create this too&#8230;</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-size: 13.3333px;">If you&#8217;re interested in this new-paradigm of business, let me start by saying that it requires a MASSIVE mind-set shift&#8230;</span></span></p>
<p>&#8230; From this is MY business and MY vision and MY money&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; To this is OUR business and OUR vision and OUR money&#8230;</p>
<p>And that can&#8217;t just be something you say, it has to be something you really do. <span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Which means that you have to allow your people to:</span></p>
<ul>
<li>Take ownership over projects</li>
<li>Make mistakes (on your behalf)</li>
<li>Debate and argue with you</li>
<li>Share in the profits</li>
<li>Play an active role in the decision making process</li>
</ul>
<p>Because you can talk about &#8220;US&#8221; all you want, but if the people on your team don&#8217;t see any shifts taking place on a real tangible level and on an energetic level, I can assure you that nothing is really going to change&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;and you&#8217;ll be stuck in the &#8220;solo struggle&#8221; for ever.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;">Yet something magical happens </span></h3>
<p>When you truly and authentically make this shift and allow your people to step up and be leaders&#8230;</p>
<p>In fact, it&#8217;s truly remarkable to see what begins to happen:</p>
<p>&#8230; First are foremost, the &#8220;lonely at the top&#8221; syndrome goes away.</p>
<p>&#8230; And you really begin to feel like you can get through anything, no matter how challenging, difficult, or scary.</p>
<p>&#8230; And most importantly, a great team gets GREAT results&#8230;which means that you make more money and help more people.</p>
<p>But let me be clear, this only works if you actually have people on your team that are capable and willing to step up and take ownership&#8230;</p>
<p>And if you don&#8217;t mind me being blunt, I can tell you right now that most people will not be able to handle this new found opportunity&#8230;.no matter how great it is or how much you want them to embrace it.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;">And this is where it gets tough&#8230;</span></h3>
<p>Because you probably need to let them go and find people who can.</p>
<p>And let me tell you something that I&#8217;ve been learning on this journey that&#8217;s EXTRA super important (so please pay close attention).</p>
<p><strong>Seeing the potential in someone else on your team will not do ANY GOOD if they are not ready to embrace it for themselves.</strong></p>
<p>Ouch&#8230;.that one probably stings a little for a few of you.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;">So&#8230;here&#8217;s what to do with this</span></h3>
<p>1) Wish us luck on our experiment. We&#8217;ll be filming videos and posting blogs throughout the entire journey so you&#8217;ll get to see behind the scenes at every step. It&#8217;s like you will be right there with us!!</p>
<p>2) Ask yourself the question: do you want to go on this journey alone or do you want a team? Truthfully, I&#8217;ve seen SO MANY people be super successful with no team&#8230;so it&#8217;s definitely not a requirement. Just decide for yourself what feels right for you and then move forward boldly.</p>
<p>But DON&#8217;T play the in-between game, where you have a team that doesn&#8217;t feel supported or empowered and you&#8217;re trying to do everything yourself. That&#8217;s a big fat trap for all sides. You know what I mean?</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;">Please Leave A Comment<strong> </strong></span></h3>
<p>I don&#8217;t see many people talking about this stuff so I would LOVE to hear your thoughts. Do you agree or disagree with this post? What other perspective can you add? Please share your brilliance with the tribe by posting a comment below&#8230;.pretty please with a baby tropical island umbrella on top.</p>
<p><strong>Oh, and if it feels right, please share this with a friend. Aloha!! </strong></p>
