Find one person in your network who actually gets things done and tell them so. The speaker grew Women Veterans Strong from solo work to an 11-person team by collaborating with people who share that drive to act, not just talk about acting.

Even your dreams are going to get bigger, higher, farther, faster than you ever imagined, but you have to push yourself past coordination and get to that collaboration phase. And here's how to do it. There's one clear action here that I want you to take this week. Identify one other hardcore doer in your sphere and reach out to them with supportive encouragement. Now, this is not a networking request and it's not a business proposal, just recognition from one category member to another. Something like, I've been watching how you approach challenges and I appreciate how you always seem to build solutions instead of just talking about problems. When you start to recognize and connect with other hardcore doers, something remarkable happens. You really do stop feeling like you're pushing people uphill and you start feeling like you're building alongside people who share your orientation toward action. That project that I shared with you, Women Veterans Strong, I'm not doing it alone. I can't do it alone. The vision is way too big. We've got 11 team members now that are driving that forward, and it started with one deep collaboration opportunity.
