Brad Hart argues that no millionaire is truly self-made. Success requires a spouse, employees, advisors, and a mastermind group. He recommends building and aligning a team instead of trying to do it alone.
Chapters
Self made Millionaires are a myth. No one is self made, meaning all by yourself. Your spouse has a relationship to it, Your children have a relationship to it. Your assistant, your board, your accountant, your lawyer, your Quaker, your baker, your candlestick maker, your sales guy, your office cleaner, your kids babysitter. The people in your mastermind groups. You have a huge team. You may not even realize it. It's a team that always makes millionaires. Even if you're a solopreneur, you need a great team. Like my friend Jason Gaynord says, we are not self made, we're community made. It takes surrounding yourself with a great community to really succeed. So don't suffer alone. As the old saying goes, if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with a team. I can't do what I do without my team. In fact, one of my friends, Trey the Flow Coach, teaches one of my favorite systems on how to identify, hire and align a team. I highly recommend it and I use it every day myself. I'll try to tag him here or in the comments so you can go check them out. Follow him if you haven't.
