3 Tips for Entrepreneurs to Stay Healthy July 4, 2012
Ask for Help, Farm Don’t Hunt, Get Out of your Head
Tip 1 – Don’t get into the “I Have to Do It All Myself” syndrome. Healthy entrepreneurs know when it’s time to reach out and find strategic business alliances or a virtual team to help grow and leverage their business.
Tip 2 – Farm, don’t Hunt. Healthy entrepreneurs learn and practice the skills of intentional networking to go beyond superficial chit chat at Chamber mixers to discover what others need and how they might be complimentary.
Tip 3 – Get out of your head. Healthy entrepreneurs continue to weed out the negative self talk and chatter going on in our brains that tell us “others can’t be trusted” or “I’m not good enough” or “Maybe this business just won’t work”.

Avoid burnout and reach out. Decide what you love and do best and find others to do what they are great at. Collaborating is more than just working together.

33. In My Own Back Yard! Thanks to: Paula Vigneault of Collaboration Soup.
I found a great lead from my neighbor when I was complementing her on her wonderful flower bed. Often our friends, family, and acquaintances are rich sources for potential customers. We may tend to think that since they know what product or service we provide, they will tell everyone they know. However, they need to be reminded occasionally that we would appreciate them spreading the word. That is still the best advertising there is.

Effective Leadership Tips from 94 different leaders April 2012
85. Think From the Bottom Up Thanks to: Paula Vigneault of Collaboration Soup.
Think from the bottom up — top down is dead. Be able to create the conditions that allow the wisdom of your group to shine. Everyone has gifts and they want to share them. Make sure your projects utilize the co-creativity of your group and they will surprise you with their alignment, sense of ownership, and accountability. People don’t just work for money.
88. Lead Like a Duck Thanks to: Delia Horwitz of Collaboration Soup
Don’t keep looking behind you to see who is following. Focus on what is calling you and where you are going. People will either grow in strength to keep up with you… or discover that they are not a duck. This creates the opportunity for them to find a different direction, or a different leader, better suited to their nature.
