“There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.” – Beverly Sills
Rand Fishin: I don’t know what percent of CEOs consider this to be active parts of their job, but ever since my chat with Dan on the subject, I’ve had it hardwired that manufacturing serendipity, hand-in-hand with brand evangelism, should be at least 30% of my job. It’s something I’d recommend to others in my role, and to individuals of any profession who are seeking to advance their own careers and/or help the organizations they work for to achieve greater luck.
Going to events and taking part in networking gatherings is no easy task.
One problem is that you never know for sure, “I helped X, which in turn will benefit me … how, exactly?”
Still, at the end of the day, I consider it a nice thing to do.
Help others, do good.
