Why Everyone Needs a Team (no exceptions)
One of the things I learned early on, was that I need to have a STRONG team around me.The problem that most people run into is they aren't willing to LET GO and build that team. Too many people are trying to to it all themselves or overstretch the people you DO have into being more than what they are best at. (don't worry, I'm guilty of this too)This week's episode of the Burn is all about the importance of a TEAM, but also some little things each of YOU can do to grow YOUR team.Now, it doesn't matter if your'e running an 8 figure business, a running back in the NFL, or just getting started in your sales career... EVERYONE needs a team. People in your corner. Individuals to learn from and lean on.The moment YOU commit to growing that team with INTENTION you will unlock the next level of your life.Share this episode with someone who needs to understand they can't do it alone!💥Connect with OUR team and let us know how we can help YOU! 👇🏼https://bennewman.net/contact/Sign up for the MENTAL TOUGHNESS FORUM- It’s completely Free, August 2nd-6thHttps://www.mentaltoughnessforum.comThe Burn Podcast, ignited by Punch’d Energy.https://www.puchdenergy.com************************************Let’s work TOGETHER https://www.bennewmancoaching.comOrder my new book UNCOMMON LEADERSHIP: 11 Ways the Greatest Leaders Lead: www.bennewman.net/preorderConnect with me everywhere else:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightTHIS AUGUST 2ND-6TH, JOIN BEN NEWMAN AND 30+ OF THE WORLD’S HIGHEST PERFORMERS IN SPORTS & BUSINESS SHARING SYSTEMS & SKILLS ON HOW TO THINK BIGGER, DRIVE ACTION, OVERCOME ADVERSITY, & BUILD MENTAL TOUGHNESS TO REACH PEAK PERFORMANCE IN LIFE.Sign Up Now for Free https://mentaltoughnessforum.comhttps://www.bennewmancoaching.com************************************ Learn about our Upcoming events and programs:https://www.workwithbnc.comLet’s work TOGETHER https://www.bennewmancoaching.comLet's work together to write YOUR next book- BNC PublishingSend us a message Order my latest book The STANDARD: Winning at YOUR Highest Level: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition1stPhorm.com/bnewman Connect with me everywhere else: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfight Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFight Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693
