Leverage = Success
No - not leveraging your money 100:1 to gamble on commodities and certain not leveraging the house to gamble in a casino … but leverage is extremely valuable …
Leveraging your network is very important. If you know 2 people that could use each other, make the intro, just a handoff and hope for the best and wish them Happy Networking! Even if it doesn’t work out they will thank you.
Or say you have 10 friends that are all in the same boat or same part of the industry, set up a dinner with everyone, then everyone will hopefully love it appreciate you and usually be happy to return a favor - or at least not get annoyed when you ask for a favor.
Leveraging your network to build goodwill is an extremely valuable tool that everyone should use. Avoid brokering unless you add value or if its your full time job. Make the intro’s…if a big deal is struck, hopefully they’ll send some crumbs back your way but at the least you’ve made 2 huge connections as a result and when you need help, you won’t get resistance or look or feel like a leech.
Leverage my friends, leverage your network!
