Success

APRIL 3, 2023

Everything from the title on my business card to the location of the building fed my notion of success. The goal is to get in touch with whatever is making our current situation feel too constricting or just plain wrong. In 2004 I was enjoying the highest-paying, most respectable job I had ever worked.

Everywhere you go…there’s somebody new to learn to know! The great thing is that networking is a “soft skill” that can be learned by anyone. And no matter how good you grow at this, you can always set a stretch goal to grow a bit more in this area. Ask questions and learn about the members near you. Where you work.

Networking is ultimately about sharing your goals with others and supporting them as they try to achieve theirs. Don’t forget your business cards – I meet quite a few PAs who still don’t have these, make a business case and approach your boss and get some ordered. External networking will broaden the playing fields.

Part of what makes it such a great personal development program is that speakers are always bringing in excellent ideas for others to learn from. The GAINS model (which Leslie contributed to the best-selling book, Business by Referral ) is truly one of the most powerful and effective methods I’ve encountered for building relationships.

However, I can’t imagine any discipline where one would be expected to ignored the foundation that has been laid by others as part of their own learning. And sometimes that’s probably true. There is a lot of knowledge to be culled and transfered from others.

I make introductions to folks that are aligned with their goals right away and then just see if we like each other. I love social networking but have learned that a whole slew of followers is not as profitable as one fan! I post, blog and share current business ideas, projects, clients and ventures. Its the key to real branding!
