Don't fail to Build Your Influence

Don't fail to Build Your Influence

In this episode we move onto mistake number 3, failing to build influence.

This is a big mistake and I've made it several times in my career. I think it goes hand in hand with the mistake of 'playing it small' because when we play it small we tend to operate in a small world. We interact with those who'll help us get the job done, and those who we're friends with. We tend to 'keep our head down' and avoid the limelight.

I can describe all of this so well because I practiced it to perfection - I used to call it 'flying under the radar' this might sound clever and I guess that was my way of justifying it. For years in my early career I limited my sphere of influence, because that kept me in my comfort zone, but I also wanted the career success that you only see when you move beyond your usual boundaries and get uncomfortable. And therein lies the challenge that many of us face.

If we want to be successful we have to get uncomfortable - very uncomfortable - and we have to get used to that feeling - almost learn to embrace it!
