Dream Team: Influencers

Your dream team isn't limited to paid professionals that serve you directly. Anyone that influences your decision making, tells you the hard truths or cheers loudly for your wins definitely falls into the dream team category. Here are a few examples:

The Networker- This is someone who ALWAYS "knows someone". They open doors for you in your industry, introduce you to other professionals that help you grow, and are typically the first person you think of when you are looking to make connections. They are essential to building your network.

The Mentor- Maybe it's a business coach, industry veteran, author, or community leader, the mentor has first-hand knowledge of the day-to-day challenges you face. They have the gift of experience and hindsight to help you navigate the challenges of growth.

The Conscience- This is the first person you go to when you wonder if you are doing the right thing. They help you trust your gut and keep you in check when it comes to honoring your core values. This is the person that cares enough to call you out when necessary.

The Idol- This is someone who you aspire to emulate. They have built the life / business you are working towards. Personally or professionally, they embody your values and the trajectory you want for yourself. You may not even know this person directly. An author, entertainer, community leader, activist or political figure qualifies.
