Grow Your Influence

Published on Nov 19, 2015

It is more critical than ever to take your career and your role as a leader in your industry into your hands. You cannot afford to wait another day. Social media allows you to connect with people you might not have the opportunity to connect with otherwise, and to magnify your message to the world.

BEING GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO

MAY NOT BE ENOUGH
It's not the strongest, the smartest or the the best that get ahead. It's the one who makes sure the world knows they are the strongest, the smartest or the best....all without annoying the world.

YOUR EXPERTISE CANNOT BE KEPT TO YOURSELF

Don't be a knowledge hoarder
You may know that you're brilliant, but if no one else knows, it really doesn't matter!

WHO DO OTHERS SAY YOU ARE?

BE KNOWN FOR SOMETHING GREAT!
Don't let being average be an option. Contribute to something bigger...to something greater.

TO GET AHEAD, TO RISE TO THE TOP, TO BE SEEN AS A LEADER

YOU MUST TAKE ACTION TODAY
You don't have time to wait for your official title or your cape to come back from the dry cleaners. Start today --what do you want people to know you for? What can you do each day to ensure that happens.

BUILD YOUR NETWORK

BEFORE YOU NEED IT
Most people wait until they need something (a recommendation for a life-saving doctor, a new job, a date for their cousin's wedding) before they start trying to connect with people.

Start today and build your network BEFORE you need it. Provide value, share great information with the people in the network. They will be more than happy to oblige when you have a need.

COMMIT TO GROWING YOUR NETWORK MONTHLY

If your network isn't growing, you are providing enough value or you're not reaching out to others...PERIOD!

People are drawn to those who are helpful and interesting.

NO ONE ELSE WILL TOOT YOUR HORN

PLAY IT LOUD - PLAY IT PROUD
The greatest illusion you can live under, is that others will automatically see your greatness and tell the world.

Unless you are guiding their lips or giving them the music to play, that horn stays silent.

Without bragging or sounding completely obnoxious, share your knowledge and do it in very public places.

TAKE AN INVENTORY OF YOUR EXPERTISE

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SHARE WITH THE WORLD?
What are the things you are really good at?
What is it that people ask you for help with?

Do you have a passion for something that you have been keeping in. The closet because it isn't your "day job?"

Write these things down, find communities online to join and share with.

IT'S ABOUT BUILDING BRAND "YOU"

Not brand "corporate job," not brand "what everyone thinks I should be," but BRAND YOU!

FIND WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE

BLOG, VIDEO, BOOK, ARTICLES, SPEAKING
Have you been saying you would start writing? Are you comfortable turning on a video camera and telling your stories? Do you subscribe to publications that you could contribute an article or two?

SHARE YOUR EXPERTISE ON SOCIAL MEDIA SITES

BE A RESOURCE...PROVIDE VALUE
Social can help you magnify your message and reach people you may never otherwise reach.

THE FUTURE OF BRAND YOU

DEPENDS ON IT!
