Often times it is ONE spark that ignites a movement or ONE person that has a vision and follows it through to greatness. As an entrepreneur I have often relied completely on myself to accomplish anything with the thought that, if I want it done right I should do it myself. ONE is powerful, and often instigates or provokes something new\u2026but times, they are changing.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Social media has really opened my eyes, more than anything else, to the power of group think tanks and collaborative efforts. Whether it is a few people coming together to gain financially or simply a group of people brainstorming to help one member of that group. Having an idea, and inviting trusted people in to manipulate and massage that idea truly is an amazing thing to watch and\/ or be a part of.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0I\u2019ve had numerous opportunities to be involved in collaborative brainstorming via social media as well as be the one to ask others for their thoughts. It is powerful, and often times surreal to see things take flight. I am still very much a believer in the power of ONE, but I am now an advocate of WE, and what WE can do together.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/e1evation.com\/2011\/02\/04\/step-by-step-guide-to-brainstorming\/\">Step by Step Guide to Brainstorming<\/a> (e1evation.com)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px;height: 15px\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"float: right\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=fb383461-0895-400f-a8ab-9065f0e985f3\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I definitely believe in the power of ONE whole-heartedly; ONE idea, ONE person, ONE action and what can come from that.
