\u201cThere is no such thing as a self-made man. You will reach your goals only with the help of others.\u201d \u2013 George Shinn\xa0

As a former lone wolf, the idea that I needed others to make an impact was a hard pill to swallow. But it\u2019s true\u2014it takes a team of people utilizing their unique strengths, solid communication, and a shared goal to make great things happen. This is the case whether we\u2019re talking about creating a podcast, raising children, starting a business, or building a strong and successful marriage.\xa0

Our relationships are the most impactful thing on our health, happiness, and overall success\u2014and they can take a lot of work. While it\u2019s easy to place blame on others and put a magnifying glass on their shortcomings, that isn\u2019t necessarily productive.

Once you have a better grasp on who you are, you can master your reactions and use your talents to be more productive and efficient in your roles.\xa0
