Start building meaningful relationships when you’re a staff. Not going to tons of networking events and passing out your card hundreds of times but build meaningful relationships with other peers, clients and referral sources. It takes years to build up a great working relationship but then the business just starts flowing in naturally.
Work hard at being excellent at the technical stuff as the baseline, while doing that be a source of positive energy to those around you. Every week find a way to serve someone around you that isn’t part of an existing task - it can be as simple as encouraging someone who had a tough day. Be a multiplier of success for others, invest in relationships with your team, your clients, your network and seek out ways you can add to others success. Remember that power works by division and influence works by multiplication, be a leader that drives influence. Lead remembering that the best leaders employ honesty, empathy and humility when making decisions. You will become a magnet for talent and new clients when they see you’re a multiplier of others success.
