Obstacles are Opportunities Once Again

I've been a true believer that obstacles are opportunities in disguise. Over the past week I've been reminded once again just how true this is.

In a new joint venture I teamed up with a sponsor to make better use of marketing tools. No big deal, right. The result though has been and will be tremendous. Not just because he's far better at utilizing the tools than I was with the time constraints I've been under lately or the fact that's he's far more experienced, but because of the friendship and teamwork that developed as a result. Technical difficulties ensued and I was thrust into a position to work more closely with his "right-hand gal" halfway across the globe. It is an amazing alliance that I hope will continue for years. One we will nurture and tend, and work together for the team. So his obstacle turned into an opportunity for the two of us to get to know one another so much better, quickly.

That obstacle will further our business dramatically, I know. It's sort of like having coffee with old friends now, after being introduced to her and some of her acquaintances on the team. It makes the job of working online so much more fun when you know there are others you can help and who can help you. You're truly not alone, the world is at your fingers, especially on our team.
