“No man (or woman) is an island…”
That’s a famous quote by the poet, John Donne, from the 17th century.
It’s often used, and it means (at least to me) that you can only get so far on your own without help from others.
“A fool thinks himself wise to trust only on his own counsel.” paraphrased from Proverbs.
You can only get so far with your own ideas and input… much like a pond with no water running through it will quickly stagnate.
You need trusted sources to bounce ideas off of and get meaningful feedback because, without good external input, your ideas won’t grow well.
All this means having your own personal mastermind.
That can be trusted friends or business associates… or a private Facebook group or forum. The point is, you NEED input and the “mastermind effect” to take things to the next level!
If you already belong to a mastermind, ask yourself what you can do to make it even more valuable for all the members.
If you don’t belong to one yet, get out of your comfort zone and get involved with a group of like-minded people you can help to enrich… and get enriched yourself in the process.
