The Art Of Getting Others To Talk About YOU! - by John Guanzon
Aristotle Onassis - a shipping tycoon, was once asked:what would you do if you suddenly lost all your money?
His answer: I'd get a job, and work till I had saved up $300. Then I'd go buy myself an expensive suit, and go to where the rich people hang out.
Onassis knew the power of networking!
The key is Networking and IT IS VERY POWERFUL, but it takes time and effort. Lots of times it seems like you really have to be EVERYWHERE to get ANYWHERE!
Think about it, just online networking? there are tons of forums, social networks, and instant messengers!
There just isn't enough time in the day right? This is where getting others to talk about YOU can allow you to be in more places or everywhere all at once.
Did you know that Bill Gates landed the IBM deal simply because his mother had talked about him?
It's true, It started when his mother was talking about her son and his new company at a board meeting. And John Opel a fellow United Way board member was listening.
5 years later, Opel now the president of IBM was desperately looking for a computer operating system. Guess who he hunted down?
The point? You never know who is talking about you and you never know who may be listening.
