There is an old saying that goes, "No man is an island." When it comes to business and investing, there is nothing more important than assembling a team of experts—lawyers, accountants, etc.—to help you achieve your goals. A team makes you stronger by complementing your weaknesses and enhancing your strengths. A team also keeps you accountable and pushes you forward.
One of the problems I had with school was that it trained us to take tests alone. If I were to collaborate or ask for help from my classmates on a test, that was called cheating. I believe that this line of thinking causes millions of people to operate as islands, afraid of cooperating with others because they are trained that cooperation is somehow akin to cheating.
