7 Benefits of Working Collaboratively for Life Balance

Two years ago, my partner Jacque and I set the intention to work easy. Since then we have worked collaboratively to teach people how to release their emotional baggage quickly and easily, and give them back their lives.


Working collaboratively has been invaluable for both of us in our business. Here are the benefits we have received: 

Less Money
It was clear I needed to do more to promote my coaching practice but I thought I would have to spend more money to do so. Working together we combined our resources for Maestro Conferences and Constant Contact to promote our businesses. Plus we invested in the development of a blog at  http://workeasy4lifebalance.com/ 

Saves Time
We joined forces to collaboratively promote our businesses by jointly writing a monthly newsletter and blog articles. In less than an hour each month we were able to quickly outline each month’s newsletter. Developing the articles felt like a breeze. Plus jointly developing and delivering our Emotional Hot Button Removal Workshops, rather than competing, saved both of us a lot of time.

Creativity and Productivity
Working together we came up with more creative ideas to promote our services. Instead of struggling on our own through the process of coming up with ideas for articles we have a conversation, and the knowledge we want to share freely flows out of us. We also decided to start the free monthly Catalyst LIVE! tele-call to share our conversation about living magical lives with listeners. Working collaboratively has greatly increased productivity as well as enhancing the quality of ideas we generate.

Learning
We each have unique talents and strengths that we can share as strategic business partners. Jacque brings vast knowledge of business to our relationship that I can draw from in my own business and to support my entrepreneur clients. She has appreciated and grown with my knowledge from 20 years of spiritual exploration and teaching in both formal and informal settings.

Support
Mastermind partners are a huge source of support. This is especially true for Jacque and I as we are both coaches. We use our coaching skills to support each other’s personal growth and business development; especially if either of us is emotionally triggered. We are able to use our unique coaching techniques to bring our emotional reactions to completion and keep moving forward.

Accountability
Our agreement to meet regularly every Monday morning has kept us on track to keep building our businesses. Our commitment to one another has been invaluable to take on new challenges. With dividing my time between my business and serving Self Employment Program clients, without our scheduled meetings it would have been very easy to lose focus on the promotion and development of business and to let our workshops lapse. Most of our business meetings start with a check in, allowing us to clear anything that might keep us from being at the top of our game. Our partnership has kept both of us focused on all aspects of our business.

Fun
Finally, another intention we set was to have fun and do work that we love. This way work would feel easy rather than hard. By bouncing ideas off each other we inspire each other, giving us more energy to pour into our work and life. We have fun, get things done with ease, and produce better work together than either one of us could have done on our own.

Working together really has made our lives easier and given us life balance. Who could wish for anything more for their life than inspiring work they love and a sense of balance in their life?

Who could you work more collaborative with?
