Don’t be fooled…collaboration is something that we can all benefit from. I use to be the guy that did it all on my own and to some degree…I still do. I started getting coaches and mentors over the past 3 years and have seen a drastic change in outcomes.
Some of the outcome benefits are financial (products) and some are with potential to land speaking and training engagements. My point is that I understand why many entrepreneurs go solo. The range of reasons vary and they are valid, yet with good filters and people qualifying you can begin to get comfortable with collaborations.
1. Watch what they do when they aren’t engaging you.
2. Listen to the way that they express themselves and see if it matches their actions.
3. View or review their website, social profile, and any platform (including video) to see if they would have good chemistry with you, and you with them.
4. Over a period of time their attitude and general behavior should have a reasonable amount of consistency.
5. Work habits and ethics should align with best practices.
6. What type of credibility do they have?
7. What type of following do they have?
