Forces Unite!

Entrepreneurship can be lonely, but collaboration can open new doors. This year, make an effort to connect. First, befriend competitors and explore opportunities to collaborate or refer business. Second, don’t hesitate to ask for help—find a peer group for advice and support. Lastly, always give credit when using others’ ideas; it builds trust and strengthens relationships.

As entrepreneurs we sometimes find ourselves feeling alone. Just because you run your own business does not mean that you can't team up with others. This year, turn your efforts into large endeavors by expanding your circle and reaching out.

Here are 3 ways to do it:

1) Befriend a competitor. Explore collaborations and refer unwanted business.

2) Ask for help. Find a group of peers to turn to when you need help.

3) Give credit where credit is due. Get good ideas from others & don’t be ashamed to admit it!
