You\u2019re capable. You absolutely can do anything you want. However just because you can do something yourself doesn\u2019t mean you should. There is no ceiling, there is no lack of opportunity. On the other hand, if I was to do it all by myself, I wouldn\u2019t have made it nearly as far as I have. So when you look at your own life and you look at your own opportunities and capabilities, you really have to decide, is this something that you can do and should do, or something you can do, but you choose not to. So let\u2019s talk about the team.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The importance of having a team to be successful<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let\u2019s talk about surrounding ourselves with the right people, a team. What I think a lot of people are afraid of, especially when it comes to something like assisted living. You\u2019ve never done it before. It\u2019s new to you. So the best thing you can possibly do is surround yourself with a team of people that have done it before, who are not only experienced, but they know what to do, and more importantly what not to do. And they\u2019re willing to teach you. Surround yourself with a team of people that have something that you don\u2019t have, that are willing to contribute something that you don\u2019t contribute. A team of others that have skills that you don\u2019t have, that have maybe the time that you don\u2019t have. Because as soon as you say to yourself, well I\u2019m the best, or I\u2019m the only, or I am the one that must, you\u2019re kind of defeating the whole purpose. I\u2019d rather work with somebody instead of thinking of them as competition.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We all need help sometimes<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know something, ask somebody else. If you don\u2019t ask, you don\u2019t get. As a matter of fact, that\u2019s Biblical, ask and you shall receive. So the concept of asking for help, reaching out beyond yourself, it\u2019s not a matter of pride. It\u2019s not a matter of profit. It\u2019s a matter of let\u2019s just get real and be reasonable. You need a team of people around you. I\u2019m just offering you help. If you want, I\u2019m willing to teach you and show you how. Not just say, I want everything you\u2019ve got, but I\u2019m not going to ask you any questions. Not going to learn from you. Not going to get a team of people around me. I\u2019m just gonna. Figure it out on my own.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We want you to succeed<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to do something, surround yourself with a team of people that have done what you want to do, that is where you want to go, that are willing to help you get there. Not pulling you down, But the people who want you to be successful. Who is willing to help, willing to share, willing to be a part of that success? Because frankly, when it\u2019s all said and done, doesn\u2019t matter how many houses you have or how much money you have in the bank, it\u2019s the people and the relationships. Those things are magical and they last forever.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Be sure to subscribe to our iTunes podcast to listen on the go!<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/assisted-living-networks-podcast\/id1360517721?mt=2\">[CLICK HERE]<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/new.assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/25A.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/25A.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/25A-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/25A-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/25A-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/new.assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/25B.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/25B.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/25B-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/25B-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/25B-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/new.assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/25C.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/25C.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/25C-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/25C-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/25C-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should you do everything yourself?
