Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

As I reflect on Avalon Park's journey to becoming a town from a piece of land in the middle of nowhere, I must credit the success to all the stakeholders. From the residents and business owners to the investors, the concept of partnerships and working together has proven to be a winning model in the development of this small town. TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK.

It would take pages to list all the partnerships Avalon Park Group has entered in the last 25 years, and without those partnerships, there would not be a great town where people can live, learn, work and play today and for future generations.

Whenever you have a dream, and the dream is strong enough you work hard and passionately. Most of the time you reach your goal eventually, despite all the challenges and setbacks on the way. However, when you analyze the most important ingredient of success on a large scale, it is my opinion that it all comes back to partnerships and working together.

I learned from my native country Switzerland, the concepts of working together, building partnerships, creating coalitions and at times compromising are vital for successful relationships, both business and personal. A small country, less than 1/3 of the land size of Florida, does not give you "enough space to do what you want," and you always need to have all your neighbors “on board.” When I came to Wesley Chapel, there were no neighbors to the land planned to be Avalon Park. And when I approached different organizations to work together, at first, they were surprised. Why would Avalon Park Group donate land for schools and park space? The answer lies in the fact that teamwork and partnerships are crucial to building strong communities. The success of Avalon Park Wesley Chapel and its Downtown relies on the community members that live, learn, work, and play here. Building a vital Downtown Avalon Park lies in our continued spirit of collaboration.

While most great visions are not the creation of a committee or group, rather a single driven individual pursuing a dream, the implementation of great visions is always the product of teamwork.
