Top Ten Reasons to Partner with SomeoneWritten by Alvah Parker
Top Ten Reasons to Partner with Someone Written By Alvah Parker in collaboration with Dovid GrossmanPartnerships come in many forms. There are legal ones such as in business or marriage and there are loose ones when two people come together to work or share ideas but then go on to work or share ideas with others too. I partnered with Dovid Grossman to come up with this list of reasons to collaborate. Dovid was excited about a new partnership he had formed with Chris Vogler author of THE WRITER’S JOURNEY. Dovid and Chris will be working on a series of teleclasses and a book on THE HERO’S JOURNEY FOR PARENTS. Parents – That is a partnership too. So what are benefits of collaboration? 1.Share Responsibilities – Somehow with a partner to share responsibilities job doesn’t seem as daunting. Example: For an alumnae function for my college I partnered with 2 other women to have event in my home. We shared tasks of phoning, shopping, setting up and cooking. None of us could have done it alone. 2.Outsource Your Weaknesses– You do what you are good at and your partner works from his/her strengths. You compliment each other. Example: If you are good at numbers, you do accounting for business while your partner who likes to sell is marketer. 3.Brainstorm With a Buddy – You get your creative juices flowing by coming up with ideas with someone else. Brainstorming alone is not nearly as productive. Example: Try listing all states in US by yourself. Now discard that list and brainstorm a list with a friend. I’ve tried this with many people and invariably two people come up with more than twice as many states as individuals did when working alone. 4.Instant Camaraderie – It is always more fun to work with someone else. Example: The task of putting all books on bookshelves looked tedious for Sal and Cindy. Together they finished quickly and had time to reminisce about many books they had enjoyed reading.
