We don’t do things alone

How’s this for your new motto? “We don’t do things alone.”

I was listening to a great Jennie Allen podcast where she talked about this. And it’s not surprising—those past few years of separation, isolation, disconnection have created the greatest wave of mental, psychological and spiritual suffering in human history.

And yet, where my entrepreneurs at? How many of you are going it alone?

And where my writers at? How many of you think writing a book is a solitary act?

We don’t do things alone.

I am so grateful, and fortunate, to be surrounded by so many awesome people. My family, my friends, my coaching community, my leadership community, my writing community, my church family, my clients and partners and network.

And perhaps just as important, I am so grateful and fortunate to be the friend, the coach, the mom, wife, sister and daughter—that I get to be there for others, to lift and inspire.

I love being the Mickey to my writers’ Rocky—giving them some tips and getting them fired up before they go back in the ring.

I love being the friend who was able to find just the right words to encourage a friend who is going through hard times this weekend.

I even had someone reach out to me recently who wanted to partner up for a completely unrelated venture, just to have me to bounce ideas off of and collaborate with, and wasn’t that the loveliest gift and surprise.

It truly is the best feeling in the world, to give, and receive.

So wherever you are, and whatever you’re up to, I hope you take this message to heart.

Whether it’s a writing plateau, a business challenge, or a personal struggle—don’t do things alone.

There’s strength, creativity and so much more to learn and grow from in community.

As was the case with Wrexham’s comeback story this weekend, you never know who is going to make the most difference to your dreams, or where your next miracle might come from. But finding out is the fun part ;)
