WEALTH: Success, team or individual effort?

Following Your Dream = Full Life Satisfaction

In Matthew Kelly’s 2007 book, The Dream Manager, we learn about the profile of a company, where dream manager is a position in a fictional mid-size company.  Employees can meet regularly with a dream manager to discuss defining their dreams and working toward a plan to “live their dreams.”   

Today’s companies expect their employees to be creative and put their ideas to work for the advantage of the company.  Many companies expect people to work together as a team for better productivity, more centralized focus and the motivation to do their job efficiently.  

How do they motivate people to be great employees?  They encourage team members by listening to them as individuals.

Following Your Dreams

In The Dream Manager, Matthew Kelly describes employees openly discussing their personal dreams and how to fulfill them.  Employees talk through the importance of finishing their education, buying a house and pursuing creative hobbies.  The dreams do not have to be about climbing the corporate ladder, building a better department or sealing the deal.   The concept of having an assigned dream manager illustrates that people who are happy in their personal life more productive employees. 

People have feelings and circumstances and situations which cause them to get distracted, make mistakes or lose focus on the job.  But people who work toward personal goals and have someone to help build a plan, tend to be loyal, contented employees, committed to excellence in their home and work.

There comes a time when you realize you need a team to get your ideas to market, promote your work and sell your products or services.  

Challenges occur when your team does not understand working together or focusing on a common goal. 

Teamwork is talked about in most companies, big and small, but it is the forward-thinking company who realizes teams are made up of individuals who work better in a cooperative environment where team members are happy.  

Many of us do not get close enough to our co-workers to know if they are “living their dream”, but companies who celebrate personal accomplishments and support people taking positive actions are ahead of the pack in getting the most motivation out of their workforce.

The solopreneurs among us are proud to be their own boss and set their own hours.  I have seen many to rise to the top with a home-based business that allows them to set the bar for excellence, set the pace and build income driving projects and campaigns that allow them the financial wealth to live their dreams.  Eventually, they may rely on virtual assistants, graphic artists or webmasters to help keep the pace and achieve the level of excellence they desire. 

It is important to know that a little encouragement of everyone on the team or everyone who supports your dream should have and build a dream of their own.
