Could This Be the Missing Link in Your Business?
Don’t underestimate the power of collaboration.
At the start of this year, I made a promise to
support entrepreneurs in five key areas:
- Daily routines
- Overcoming challenges
- Time management
- Goal setting
- Collaboration
These are the five pillars that, when strengthened, help turn hustle into sustainable business growth.
This week,
we’re focusing on the one that’s often overlooked but wildly powerful: COLLABORATION!
My Turning Point: My first real growth spurt happened when I stepped out of my comfort zone and joined a few networking groups. As a naturally shy person, I had to teach myself how to be curious, not just courageous. That shift changed everything.
One of my first collaborations was inviting a well-known speaker to a team meeting. That partnership didn’t just spark momentum—it ignited a new level of sales and leadership across my entire team to the million dollar sales level. AND That connection later opened the door to an international opportunity—and it’s what kickstarted my coaching business! WOW!!
Let me be clear: Collaboration IS a growth strategy. And yet, for many work-from-home entrepreneurs, it’s easy to go days—or even weeks—without real connection.
I have a challenge for you this week:
1. Schedule one virtual coffee chat a week for the next four
weeks.
Reach out to a peer, a mentor, or someone you’d like to collaborate with.
2. Join a community that energizes you. Look for a space that isn’t just about selling—it’s about sharing. That could be a mastermind, co-working group, or support circle.
3. Find an accountability partner. Partner with someone for 4 weeks. Set your goals, stay consistent, and BE ACCOUNTABLE.
Want results? Report back to me in four weeks. Tell me what happened. What shifted? What opportunities came from these connections? Email me at galebates@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram. (Mark it on your calendar.)
