Lessons
Learned for today:
Share the wealth. Don’t keep opportunities to
yourself. If something you come across
can help someone else, pass it on. If
there is something you think a colleague would be interested in, point it out
to them. There is so much information floating
around you never know what you will encounter.
Share information, not obligation. When passing along information you think
a colleague will be interested in, the best follow-up is none at all. While we may think the latest link or article
we forward will be the next big break for a colleague, let them be the judge of
that. Not everything you pass on will
hit a home run, you never know what your colleague may know about the
information you are giving them, and sometimes they can be so busy putting the
information to use they don’t have time to thank you for it. You don’t do it to get their gratitude; you
do it to help them become successful. In
fact, the less obligation you attach to information you provide to your
network, the more impact it has. A member
of my network sent me an email about his non-profit organization collaborating
with another nonprofit for fundraising.
When I ran into him later in the month, I asked him how that came
about. I was shocked and surprised to
learn the idea and contact information came from an article I forwarded him
months back. Wow!
Stay busy. Yes, I know you are already busy. What I also know is the more you accomplish,
the more you are able to accomplish.
When you buckle down and start squeezing the time to work on your
dreams, you will be astonished by the extra time that just opens up. Much of this “extra” time comes from opportunities
that arise, and aligning these opportunities with your big projects gives you
the time. It is counterintuitive, but
once you try it, you will see what I mean.
