Leveraging Your Financial Potential |
Knowing the right people and being known by them can open doors for you that can save you years of hard work. |
Know the Right People Here are three things you can do to expand your list of contacts. First, make a list of the 25 people you feel it would be most useful for you to get to know. Develop a strategy to get to meet everyone of them over the next 12 months. Then make a list of 25 more. List the people in charge of the major corporations that would be useful for you to know. List the mayor, list the congressmen, list the senator. List the important people that it would be helpful for you to know and then make a plan to meet them. Network at Every Opportunity Once, when I was working with the Chamber of Commerce, I came to the attention of a senior executive who hired me away from the company I was working for a year later at triple the salary. Meeting people is very important. Network at every opportunity. Get Involved in the Community Unlock Your Creativity Create Good Work Habits Your Action Assignment First, get involved in the business, trade, civic and social organizations in your community. Once you become a member, off ER to help and serve on committees. This will bring you to the attention of people who can help you faster than any other way. Second, develop excellent work habits. Be punctual. Plan your work and work your plan. Always concentrate your conscious energies on high priority tasks and make sure that you are doing things that are important to your boss and to your company. |
