Invest 3% of Your Income in Your Most Precious Asset: YOU!
What’s more important: Knowing people or being known?
Being known, 100% of the time.
I attended the Western Deal Making ICSC event in Los Angeles last year. Since I am in southeast Florida, I was a relative unknown at this conference.
Since I was at this disadvantage, I really dug in on my due diligence and pre-planning by analyzing the registration page (See my “ICSC Tips for Top Performers” Article) and leveraging my LinkedIn contacts to arrange introductions and meetings.
For the first time in years, I was the one scanning name tags and stopping people in the hallway.
I had eight meetings, and five of them were phenomenal.
Save 3% of your income for attending educational/networking events outside of your geographic market, and you will see a 25% increase in your annual income.
Follow the above steps, then wash, rinse, and repeat every single year for career domination.
It’s not who YOU know, it’s who knows YOU!
