Great Things Arn't Built Alone!

[00:00:02] You can do anything We all have a God given destiny Never let negative thoughts or people tell you you can't be great Cause you were fearfully and wonderfully made There's greatness inside all of us But greatness doesn't happen It takes boldness, current and leadership Welcome to the Entrepreneur Kids Legacy Show

[00:00:27] Where we think big, big broadly And make amazing things happen I'm Destiny I'm Daniel We challenge you to step into your future Take action And create a legacy that lasts Let's go! Friends, imagine a bustling outdoor market Early in the morning The smell of fresh bread drifts through the air

[00:00:55] Colorful awnings Flutter gently in the breeze Shopkeepers are setting out Baskets of fruit Gifts, toys and fresh flowers As families begin making their way down the cobble street And right in the middle of it all There are two little tables One table has a brilliant idea But absolutely no organization

[00:01:21] The other table is perfectly organized But almost nobody is stopping Two children Two completely different strengths And neither one realizes yet That the person standing just a few feet away Might be exactly what their business needs Ooh Daniel I think I know where this is going

[00:01:47] Not so fast Destiny Because today we're discovering something Some grown up entrepreneurs take years to learn You don't have to be great at everything To build something great Wait, so something we're not good at Can actually help us find the right person To build with? Exactly! Exactly!

[00:02:10] Sometimes knowing where you need help Is just as important as knowing where you're strong And today we're going to find out why Welcome to the Entrepreneur Kids Legacy Show! I'm Destiny Your partner said Princess B Be able to remind you That you don't have to build all your biggest dreams

[00:02:38] All by yourself! And I'm Daniel Your business building buddy Ready to help you discover What can happen when the right people bring their strengths together Friends, today we get to explore the power of partnerships And we're answering a big question Why are some of the greatest business ideas Built by more than one person?

[00:03:05] That's right! Nothing's truly self-made That's right! Nobody is truly self-made Is it because one person has all the ideas And the other person does all the work? Definitely not! A great partnership isn't about finding someone to do everything for you It's about discovering what you do well Recognizing what someone else does well

[00:03:35] And learning how those strengths can work together Phew! So I don't have to be amazing at everything No! And actually one of the smartest things a leader can say is That's not my strongest skill Could you help me? Ooh! So knowing what you haven't mastered can actually make you a better leader Absolutely!

[00:04:02] Because great leaders don't just recognize their own strengths They learn how to recognize greatness in other people too Okay! Now I really want to know what happens at those two market tables Okay! Then let's find out why great businesses aren't built alone Friends, think about this What's something you're really, really good at? Maybe you're great at drawing Coming up with ideas

[00:04:31] Or keeping everything organized Now here's the harder question What's something you could learn more about or improve in? Because great leaders know both Your strengths and where someone else's strengths could help you Daniel, is it time for the story of the day? Absolutely, Destiny! Start up the time machine

[00:05:00] It's time to rewind the clock Hold on tight, legacy leaders Three, two, one Open! Onto a cobble-striped awning flutter ahead

[00:05:27] There are baskets overflowing with different food Oranges In the breeze And right in the middle of market day

[00:05:49] Oh, someone's At the first table stood a little boy named Theo was an idea machine What if we put the signs over there? Wait, what if we make a bigger sign? Wait, um, what if we have two signs? Oh boy! Theo could talk to any

[00:06:23] He made people laugh When someone walked by his table Theo could explain exactly why what he was selling was special There was only one problem His table was a disaster The photo sheet disappeared He can't remember which order belonged to which customer His supplies are mixed together

[00:06:50] And when someone asks him for a price? um, I wrote it down somewhere, I think Um Okay, so Theo needs a little help Just a few tables away Saw Amelia And Amelia was completely different Her supplies were arranged perfectly Her prices were clearly written Her orders were numbered

[00:07:19] They even had a little checklist I like Amelia There was just one problem People kept walking right past her Amelia had created something wonderful But she wasn't comfortable telling people about it When someone approached She became quiet um, hello? Hello? Um, hello?

[00:07:47] By lunchtime, Theo had plenty of entrusted customers And complete chaos Amelia had perfect organized aces I love to organize things But then something happened A cust of wind swept through the market What? Oh no, look

[00:08:17] Theo's papers are flying everywhere Oh no, my orders Oh no She landed beside Amelia's zoo She picked it up And within minutes Sorted them By customer and order Theo stared at her How did you do that?

[00:08:46] I like organizing things Then Amelia looked towards her own quiet table But I wish I were better at talking to people like you are Theo looked at her Then at her table Then back at her And he had an idea What if we helped each other? Theo showed Amelia how he greeted people How he asked questions

[00:09:13] How he explained why something was useful And Amelia helped create a simple order system Name, order, price, finished And something started changing Theo wasn't losing orders anymore Amelia wasn't sitting unnoticed anymore They were still completely different Theo didn't suddenly become Amelia

[00:09:41] And Amelia didn't become Theo Instead they became better at being themselves And their different strengths began working together Legacy leaders Listen carefully to this part Sometimes we think being a leader means being good at everything It doesn't A strong leader can say I'm really good at this And also I could use help with that

[00:10:09] That's self-awareness And self-awareness can make you a much better leader Wait Daniel Does that mean we should partner with anyone that's good at something or not? Great question Great question But no Skills matter But character matters too A good partner should be someone you can trust Someone who keeps their word Someone who communicates well Someone who listens

[00:10:37] Someone who treats you and other people with respect Aha Being talented doesn't automatically make someone a great partner Exactly And partners won't always agree Sometimes one person will say I think we should do it this way And the other says I see it differently Great partnerships aren't partnerships where nobody disagrees

[00:11:05] There are partnerships where people learn how to work through disagreements respectfully Daniel Daniel Daniel Daniel You know what? This reminds me of something the Bible teaches us It does Ecclesiastes chapter 4 verse 9 says Two are better than one Because they have a good return for their labor Ooh That's wonderful Even the Bible reminds us

[00:11:34] That there can be something powerful About working together Exactly Exactly We have different gifts and strengths And sometimes can accomplish more when we bring them together Daniel Let's tell our friends Does being a great leader mean you have to be the best at everything? Definitely not Oh Thank goodness

[00:11:59] Today we learned that great leaders understand their strengths And recognize strengths in other people And guess what else we learned? Friends We learned that the best partner isn't always someone exactly like you Sometimes the person who sees what you miss can help you build something You couldn't have built quite the same way alone And most importantly, choose people for more than talent

[00:12:29] Look for character, trust, communication And people that want to build something good with you Not just for themselves They want to be a blessing to the whole world if they can Legacy leaders, let's think together What's one thing you're really good at? Say it out loud One of my strengths is Connecting with people My strength is

[00:12:58] Is being nice to people Now think of something An adult person is really good at Maybe it's your brother, your sister, your mommy, your daddy A friend Someone on your street And say I can recognize strengths in others Together friends Repeat after us We can build great things together Now your turn
