Listen, The World is Stirring
There are HUGE amount of people that are prepared to help you to be SUCCESSFUL, that will make you feel IMPORTANT and that will help you to GROW your business.
They will even help you and your business in ways that you are yet to COMPREHEND and guess what - they will do it for free, that’s right for FREE.
Take a moment, DIGEST!
Sounds too good to be TRUE, it’s not, In fact, it’s the only TRUTH you need to CONSIDER right now.
You can choose to Ignore it, you can choose to try and fight it, but DON’T because its MOMENTUM is so great, its FORCE is so strong, that it will wash over you.
But not like a wave, more like a tidal wave. It’s an AVALANCHE sent to level the playing field. It will make superstars out of individuals, but only those that choose to work for the benefit of the COLLECTIVE.
Some would have you believe that it is an out with the old; rubbish, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
It’s a return to the most BASIC of our instincts, to a time when we brought down great mammoths with nothing but sticks and stones.
It’s a return to the SOCIAL INSTINCT, a time for your neighbour, a time when working together meant for the good of the tribe.
Only this time, it is on a GRAND scale and our tools are infinitely more SOPHISTICATED. The neighbourhood is in the hundreds of thousands and the tribe is the WORLD. The potential is EXPONENTIAL, but BE warned; it can destroy as well as create.
Big businesses, politicians, don’t be a woolly mammoth because you won’t stand a chance - now is the time to GET IT, the race is over - nobody won.
Some say 2012 is the end of the world; Nostradamus predicted it so, if you are inclined to believe. Perhaps there might be some truth to what to old grey beard had to say - It’s just a matter of interpretation.
Perhaps 2012, it when we eventually COP ON that we are all in this together, and it is only working together and for each other that we can SOLVE our big problems and RESOLVE our puny differences.
If you really want to compete, reach out and COLLABORATE.

Niall, I couldn’t agree more. Two people talking is a single communication path. Add just one more person, and you have three paths; the fourth person results in six. It continues to grow in a pattern called ‘triangular numbers’—not quite exponential, but far more than addition.
As more of us start collaborating, things happen faster. Intentionally fostering and building trust greases the skids. Pretty soon, three of us are completing more than we though possible in the time it used to take two of us just to struggle through.
Unselfish collaboration amounts to each of us lifting the others by their bootstraps.

Joel, wow, great insight. I have been lucky enough to experience this first hand.
“Unselfish collaboration amounts to each of us lifting the others by their bootstraps”
I just love this statement.
Thanks,
Niall
