"Whether you call your group a Dream Team, Chick Clique or Mastermind isn't important. What is important is to decide to form such a group. The forming of a support team is as essential an ingredient to your entrepreneurial activities as flour is to a rich chocolate cake." - Robert G. Allen
Dr. Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize winner for launching the microcredit movement that has gotten over a hundred million people out of poverty in Bangladesh writes, "we discovered that support groups were crucial to success and required that each applicant join a group of like-minded people."
The incredible Guy Tribe of George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Marty Scorsese, Brian de Palma, Francis Ford Coppola - they met in their twenties as young filmmakers and forged a Dream Team that has lasted a lifetime.
More examples?
Paris in the 1920's - Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein.
Sometimes a Dream Team is just two people
Lucy and Ethel.
Everyone benefits from a Dream Team - sharing your vision, a group that holds you accountable, pooling resources, emotional support-

Great article Jenelle. I'd love to be like Lucy always coming up with wacky and fun ideas.
ReplyDeleteJenelle, I am one of the Crescendoh gals, and I just came to your blog through your link on your Intent Wheel ( your incredibly fabulous wheel ) and I just want to say how inspiring your W.H.O.A. is. I also believe in the superpower of women helping women and have benefited from many that I like to call 'angels' in my creative journey.
