Work with The Best People You Can
During the 1988 Olympic games, the Russians defeated the U.S. basketball team. It was considered a colossal nightmare considering that Americans invented basketball.

We assembled “The Dream Team.”
Assembling the proper “Dream Team,” takes a particular degree of insight into what makes teams operate effectively.
Having a residential assisted living dream team allows you to help other people. This industry is not driven by greed, rather providing the best care in the industry and impacting seniors and their families positively.

7 STEPS TO BUILDING THE TEAM YOU NEED TO START YOUR BUSINESS
Most new entrepreneurs prefer to work alone – they like autonomy and independence. However, this is contrary to what it takes to be successful as an entrepreneur.
It’s not a lone walk, but a collaborative one.
It takes collaboration, synthesis, and harmony among a core group of people to make a residential assisted living home a viable business. Team building requires a concerted effort to operate as one with many parts. Teamwork is understanding and appreciating the contribution others make for good for the whole of the team.

- Your vision must be supersized, but milestones are like three-point shots that should be celebrated.
- A shared purpose energizes a highly functional team to dig deep and wide.
- Team effort demands a collective contribution, involvement and connection.
