No doubt, you want more. More money. A nicer car. Improved opportunities. Greater understanding and insight. Additional wonderful contacts upon which to build your business and career. You want more.
And that’s okay. You’re no different from everyone else on the planet. Wanting more is a fundamental principle of the human condition. Everyone wants more. The only people who consistently get it, however, are those with the courage to go after it.
Courage! The courage to confidently walk into a new networking event for the first time. Courage! The courage to engage a complete stranger in conversation. Courage! The courage to quietly listen, even though you have much to say. Courage! The courage to, in time, ask for what you need in terms of contacts, information and opportunities.
If you want more, it takes courage. You’d be completely amazed as to what awaits you on the other side of 90 seconds of courage.
