Are you in the right room?
A lot of us think business growth comes from doing more.
More hours.
More hustle.
More pressure.
But some of the biggest changes to your business will happen because of two different things:
Learning.
And getting in the right rooms.
This week’s posts touch on both.
One’s a conversation about my own journey from debt to finally building a business that actually worked. Another is about the opportunities that seem to appear when you consistently put yourself around the right people. And the third is about networking, and why listening well is probably a more valuable skill than talking.
None of it’s revolutionary.
But very often the small tweaks change everything.
Have a read. One of these might be exactly what you need right now.

Opportunities Happen in the Right Rooms

But over time, you can point to the moments it creates.
The best opportunities don’t come from working more hours. They come from being in the right rooms.
Last week I got the opportunity to be on the Auckland Business Chamber podcast with Simon Bridges because I was in the room when the opportunity was offered.

”Opportunities multiply as they are seized”
Now, I don’t know if Sun Tzu was much of a networker. But if he was, I imagine he’d have had a pretty good plan on how to do it…
The thing about networking is it takes time.
It takes energy.
And in some cases, it takes a bit of skill to get in front of people and talk about what you do.
And that’s where a lot of people pull back.
They don’t love talking about themselves… Read More
