Business requires a team approach to be successful, with individuals filling various roles just as in sports, and drawing on their combined insights, resources, and shared vision for the business's success. To thrive, a business owner needs teammates like industry professionals, consultants, and managers who support their goals and can help the business grow through more creative solutions and various perspectives beyond what one person alone could provide. Treating business like the team sport that it is allows for success through collaboration with others.

2. No business can be run by a
single individual
Not successfully, anyway

3. You need to team up with
people who have the success
of your business in mind

4. The best resources:
 Industry professionals
 Consultants
 Managers and employees that share your
vision and ideals

5. You need to build a strong team.
Everyone should have a role,
just like on any team.

6. You can’t play baseball without a
pitcher, and you can’t succeed in
business without the “outfield” that
will back up the person throwing
the pitches.

7. Baseball metaphors aside, the
team approach will:
 Help your business grow and succeed
 Give you a chance to find more creative solutions
 Provide you with various insights and resources you
might not have on your own

8. Business is not Solitaire.
Treat it like a team sport. If you want
to succeed, you have to play well with
others.
