EP439: Tanya Fox - How To Collaborate: Back To Basics - Part 1

“What I realized only years later, in doing
collaborations is that I had to stop assuming I knew what someone
thought I was worth, or what they were getting is
worth.”
-Tanya Fox


There exists a damaging belief in business that if we aren’t the
ones handling every aspect of our work, that we aren’t
successful. As much as we might like to believe we can do
everything alone, trying to live this way is a surefire way to
burn out. 


Working with others is scary, handling employees is hard enough,
but working with service partners and collaborators is even more
fear-inducing. How do we know who is right for our business, who
gets where we are coming from and what if they don’t care or
apply as much effort as you think they should to our businesses?


Working with others can be a nightmare, but it can also be an
incredibly beneficial and rewarding experience. One where all
parties can see the kind of positive results that could never
have been achieved if they hadn't worked together. 


Tanya Fox, bookkeeper, business coach and author of How to
Collaborate, is the featured guest in the first of a two-part
series. In part one, Tanya discusses her early days in business,
how powerful collaboration can be, and why we each need to find
our own path to collaborative success. 


If you want to work with others but are jaded by bad past
experiences, or maybe you don’t feel like what you have to offer
is worth the effort of others, then this is the episode that will
help you let go of always deciding you aren’t good enough. 


During this interview, you'll learn...



The value of knowing it’s okay to change your
mind


How collaboration can change your business


The importance of failing forward
