Collaboration isn’t just helpful; it’s essential. “You can’t grow if you’re trying to do everything yourself,” Dan said. He shared the story of a tech entrepreneur who was drowning in responsibilities. She was running sales, operations, and product development, and the stress was starting to take a physical toll.

much on what they can do that they forget to ask what they want to do.” That hit close to home. How often have we been guilty of working harder, thinking it will solve everything, only to realize we’re just spinning our wheels? Dan shared a story about one of his clients, a real estate developer who was on the verge of burnout. He was juggling everything— contracts, site management, client relations—and it was taking a toll. Through Strategic Coach, he discovered his Unique Ability®: building relationships and closing big deals. Once he hired a COO to handle operations, his revenue skyrocketed, and for the first time in years, he had the freedom to enjoy his success.
Babs added another layer to the conversation, reminding me that mindset isn’t just about your thoughts—it’s also about the people you surround yourself with. “You need people who believe in your vision,” she said. “The wrong people can hold you back, but the right ones will propel you forward.” Her words struck a chord. Looking back on my own journey, I realize that my most incredible breakthroughs always come when I surround myself with people who inspire and challenge me to aim higher.
