Sometimes it blows my mind when I am meeting or talking with another individual who isn’t “cool.” I don’t use the word “cool” to mean “popular, well-liked, successful, etc.”– I mean business friendly. I get the feeling that people think that only one of us can be successful; if one company is successful, they automatically think that their company can’t be successful — there always has to be both a winner and a loser.
Frankly, I can’t stand this mentality. I truly believe that we can all be successful together. If you are doing well — that’s great! That’s why I love partnerships so much. If there is an opportunity to partner with another company and it will help the both of us be more successful than we would otherwise be…let’s do it.
Brings me back to the book: Love is the Killer App — if you haven’t read this book, it is a must read.
