Chad Jenkins’ Secret Proven Playbook to Effective Collaboration and Scaling

Companion to the MaxLife episode with Chad Jenkins

Chad Jenkins, who's sparked over 500 business collaborations, says you stop competing and start creating the moment you name the way you uniquely add value and trade it with someone who has what you lack.

▶ Watch the full episode with Chad Jenkins for deeper context on how to approach these questions
01

Past The Title

If you couldn't use your job title, your company, or your industry to answer 'what do you do?', how would you describe the way you actually create value for people?

02

Your Real Secret Sauce

Think of a time someone said 'only you could've pulled that off.' Underneath the task itself, what were you actually doing that other people don't do the same way?

The way I add value that nobody quite copies is ___.
03

What's In Your Wallet

Most people bring one of three things to a partnership: a clear vision of what could be, the skill to build it, or the reach to get it in front of people. Which one is your strongest, and which one do you almost always have to go find in someone else?

I see what's possible (vision)I can build it (capability)I can reach the right people (reach)I have two of the threeI'm not sure which I bringI keep trying to do all three myself
04

What You'd Have To Give

Trading instead of competing means asking 'what do I have that helps them?' before 'what's in it for me?' Pick one person who's chasing something you could help with. What do you already have that would push them forward?

05

One Trade To Propose

You can't split money that doesn't exist yet. What you split is the result the two of you build together. With that one person in mind, what would you offer them, what would you want back, and how would you suggest splitting whatever you create?

You spent this worksheet naming two things: the value only you bring, and the person who has what you don't. The whole shift is just refusing to do it all alone. So what's the smallest trade you could make this week that gets you both somewhere faster than either of you would get alone?
