Handbook inc.’s Success Super Book : a definitive Consolidation of 25 Perspectives to Guide your Future Success

5. Acquire Partners
We talked earlier about how becoming a leader is one of the most 
important qualities one needs to “move the chains” in the game of 
business. In order to achieve greatness as a leader, one must then 
have a team of individuals who believe in the mission in order to 
move forward. That’s where assembling a great team of partners 
plays such an important role in any profitable business. Many start 
out alone and the wearer of many hats, but a business can only 
scale so far if there is only one source of energy, of inspiration, and 
of the actual sweat equity it takes to keep the lights on.
As we will see in understanding the meaning of success both in 
business and in life, a true “business owner” is one who does not 
need to be a part of the day-to-day operations in order for the 
business to run and stay profitable. The classic book “The E-Myth” 
is a great story of how many try (and fail) at running a business all 
by themselves. Instead, you need to take those leadership skills and 
motivate others to take their own specific skillsets and apply them 
together as a team for the greater good of the company.

This doesn’t just include employees, but also includes knowing 
who to shake hands with, how to create strategic partnerships, 
and how to use that leverage we previously discussed to convince 
others to have an interest in your venture. And once you reach a 
certain level of success, it will be an even greater feeling when you 
get to share it with all who helped make it possible.
