Synergy occurs when diverse strengths combine to create outcomes greater than the sum of individual contributions. Think about elite sports teams. The most talented roster does not always win championships. The teams that win consistently are often those whose players understand their roles, trust one another, communicate effectively, and sacrifice individual recognition for collective success.

Most people believe success begins on Monday morning. They're wrong. Top performers know that Monday is merely the scoreboard. The real game is played on Sunday. While many people spend Sunday reacting to the previous week, high performers use it to design the next one. The difference isn't intelligence, talent, education, or luck. It's preparation.
