A short excerpt from a YouTube video by Dylan Vanas arguing that the idea of being "self-made" is misleading and harmful. The speaker says claiming sole credit discounts others' contributions and limits growth by promoting a do-everything-yourself mindset. The recommended alternative is to pursue partnerships, strategic alliances, joint ventures, and collaborative relationships and to credit partners for shared success.

Entrepreneurs have glorified this idea of being self made. You're basically discrediting anyone who played a role in your success. You're saying it was all me and no one else. It's actually keeping people small because now they think, okay, well, for me to really be it, I have to do everything myself. The key to growing rapidly is find partnerships, create strategic alliances, create joint venture deals, and create relationships where you can actually grow together. When that happens, you credit those people for your success.
