#368: Grab Your Partner, Do Si Do! (Friday, January 17)

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." -African proverb

I love this proverb. I think before you embark upon any goal, you should ask yourself one question: "Do I want to go fast or do I want to go far?" 

There are some things that it makes sense to do alone; but a lot of times you can increase your chances of success if you have some help - the right kind of help.

Partners are people who are on a similar trajectory as you are. They may have the same goal as you do, or share your level of enthusiasm/motivation to see the goal accomplished.

Allies may not necessarily have the same goal as you, nor share your passion. But they want to see you succeed. And they have the resources to help you accomplish your goal.

This week's action: 

1. List your goals for this year. 
2. Identify a partner or ally for each of your goals. 
3. Write down what type of help you need from each person for each goal.
4. Ask for help.
5. You must also be willing to be a partner or ally for someone else's goals.
