One is Too Small of a Number... = Together, everyone achieves more = TEAM! The best success is shared and collaborated together. Teamwork does in fact, make the dreamwork.


Made for One Another = One is always too small a number to achieve greatness. We are not designed to go it alone, but rather to complement and help one another. We are essentially made for one another. If you have a dream—a really huge, rock-solid, world-changing dream—you are going to need a really huge, rock-solid, world-changing team by your side to make it a reality! If you want to achieve great things, be team-made, not self-made.

Scriptures
Hebrews 7:20-18 NET 20 And since this was not done without a sworn affirmation -- for the others have become priests without a sworn affirmation, 21 but Jesus did so with a sworn affirmation by the one who said to him, "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, 'You are a priest forever'" -- 22 accordingly Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant. 23 And the others who became priests were numerous, because death prevented them from continuing in office, 24 but he holds his priesthood permanently since he lives forever. 25 So he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. 26 For it is indeed fitting for us to have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 27 He has no need to do every day what those priests do, to offer sacrifices first for their own sins and then for the sins of the people, since he did this in offering himself once for all. 28 For the law appoints as high priests men subject to weakness, but the word of solemn affirmation that came after the law appoints a son made perfect forever.
1 Peter 2:9 ESV But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
John 17:17 ESV Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
Psalm 119:105 ESV Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
1 Timothy 1:7 They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.

Why No One Ever Climbed Mt. Everest Alone
Build Your Team = One of the 10 questions that John Maxwell discusses in his book, Put Your Dream To The Test, deals with people. It asks, “Have I included the people I need to achieve my dream?” One is too small of a number to achieve greatness. The size of your team has to be as high and big as the size of your dream. People will take you to where you want to go.

Don’t ‘Bargain Away’ Your Potential
We will often sacrifice something we really want at the sight of an exorbitant price tag. Even when the cost isn’t entirely excessive, unreasonable or burdensome, we might rationalize away our actual need for it. But you will find that there is often a fee attached to the realization of your potential—to the fulfillment of your dream—and you are worth the bill.
