This month, we are taking the core values of The Simplifiers, breaking one down each week in our Friday bonus episodes. This is so you can understand what we believe in and why... and how you can incorporate the practice of core values in to your own work this year.

The next core value I want to shine a spotlight on is…

Collaboration

We can do great things together… alone serves no one.

Earlier this week, you learned that I was terribly shy as a child, which may totally be a surprise to most of you. Bottomline, it was a fear that I had to overcome, in order to truly thrive in life.

And through that lifelong process of finding my own voice, I discovered my creative strengths, and what I can offer the world through my work. What I’m good at and what makes my heart sing.

The very best part of the work I get to do is when I’m working in collaboration with other brilliant people. There is only so far you can take an idea, all on your own. You need other people to breathe fresh life into it. To add skills or connections that you lack. To build on it, enrich it, and help you soar to new heights.

Plus, it’s a heckuva lot more fun to do things with others than all by yourself.

Listen in for my 3 simple tips to help you create new collaborations in the year ahead: Discover, Ask and Take Flight.

No man or woman is meant to live a solitary life. Neither are you. And while it might be scary to reach out to others or pitch a new idea for collaboration for fear of rejection, I encourage you to give it shot.

If they say NO, it’s not a ‘no’ to your character… it’s simply not the right timing or not a match for them. Move on and keep asking. Keep dreaming up new collaborations that can breathe new life in to your work.

And hey, a ‘no’ over here might result in a ‘heck yeah!’ over there!

The world needs your super powers. We need you to show up, shine bright and serve others. Alone serves no one… including yourself. We are better together because I can help you… and ultimately, you can help me, too.

Together, we are unstoppable.

You can do this, I believe in you.

It’s time to SIMPLIFY.
