Do You Really Want Smart People Around You?

How many times have you heard a business owner say, “I surround myself with people smarter than myself. That is why I am successful”?

I think this is something that most people would like to think they do – or would do. But I don’t think it readily happens in the real world.

So why would it truly benefit you to actually take it upon yourself to surround yourself with really smart people?

1. It’s hard to bounce ideas off yourself.
2. You don’t have all of the answers.
3. Smart people are often motivated, which will likely lead to more projects done and more revenue created.
4. It’s more fun!

So get over your ego. Open up your mind, reach out to those who think differently than you, and watch your business flourish.
