Welcome to Episode 83 of Building My Legacy.

This is the second of our two-part podcast with marketing brand strategist Nikki Bradley on collaboration. In this visit we continue our discussion, exploring how to deal with problems you may encounter when you collaborate. Nikki also talks with us about the many reasons to collaborate and how leveraging someone else’s resources, audience, and intellect can help you create something bigger than you could on your own.

Nikki believes that successful collaboration is an ongoing effort. Even if you don’t have an immediate need, fostering and cultivating relationships now will ensure you’re ready to move into a collaborative relationship in the future. That could be especially critical for your business if financial resources and access to business capital become more difficult. Nikki’s advice on what to be mindful of as you identify potential collaboration partners and move in and out of collaborative relationships is valuable for all of us as we build and grow our businesses and as you build your legacy.

So if you want to know:

  • How to overcome the fear of letting someone “see behind the curtain” of your business
  • Why you need to be smart about what you share
  • The value of diversity of thought
  • Reasons to collaborate – beyond selling
  • What “The Avengers” movie franchise can teach us about collaboration
