Leveraging Your Financial Potential

Network at Every Opportunity     Next is for you to network at every opportunity. Join business and trade associations, Chambers of Commerce. Attend meetings. Get involved. Volunteer to serve on a key committee. This action alone can put your career years ahead.     Tracy tells of when he was working with his local Chamber of Commerce, he came to the attention of a senior executive who hired him away from his current employer for triple the salary. Meeting people is very important. Network at every opportunity.

Get Involved in Your Community     Get involved in community service organizations. The best people in every community, the people you should know and who should know you, are usually involved in public service in some way. Start with the United Way in your own city, or get involved in any charity that you care about or that you're interested in. You'll be amazed at the quality of people you will meet doing voluntary service.     Will you do this?   (Yes, Frederick! And I want you to mentor me, too!)

Create Good Work Habits     A powerful form of leverage that can help you is good work habits. Good work habits make an extraordinary difference. Brian Tracy recently conducted a study of 104 chief executive officers. They all agreed that the ability to set priorities, and then to get the job done fast, were the two qualities that most often led to promotion and increases in pay. Good work habits will bring you to the attention of the important people in your life as fast or faster than anything else you can do. In the final analysis, you always get paid for your results, whether you are an employee or own your own business. If you develop a reputation for being the person who gets the job done quickly, this can easily put you on the fast track in your career and your business.

Your Action Assignment     Here are two things you can do right now to leverage your financial potential —
– First, get involved in the business, trade, civic and social organizations in your community. Once you become a member, offer 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.
