BE SOMEONE WORTH HELPING
The problem with some talented people is that they believe they should be paid for their talent alone. The same goes for experienced people.?
Both become very frustrated when they learn how the world really works.?
If you want to:?
Live a life of professional abundance
Hopscotch your way through job levels and skip a few in the process
Be pelted nonstop with opportunities and introductions?
… then you need help. You need advocates. You need behavior and community layered on top of your talent.?
Opportunities are everywhere. People in positions of power are constantly looking to dish out jobs, advice, mentorship... but they need a worthy recipient.?
Radiate value, expertise and generosity to everyone around you. Make a friend by offering something vs. asking for something. Tackle projects bigger than you, and rise to the occasion. Be curious and likable. Be the glue that holds together a high caliber social circle. Become a magnet for good luck.?
Be someone that people want to help. Not because you’re helpless, but because you’re helpful.?

10 个月Maybe it's time we add on to the good old Fred Rogers quote: "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping”..."but be a helper too." Always love your wisdom Michael Ardelean. You're a true helper.

10 个月Giving is the way. Once you’ve built value in a skill set or an area of expertise, you start to see all the amazing the ways you can add value for others. In Quakerism, it’s sharing your light. Don’t follow up, add value. Don’t wait, act. Don’t ask for help, help others. Thanks for sharing, as always, Michael Ardelean.????
