KISP - Ep 123 - Network & Net Worth

What this episode covers

I severely underestimated the value in spending time with people who are where you want to be in a few years time. I don't know why I did but I did. Perhaps cause I figured that although they were more senior than I was in an organisation, they weren't that far ahead of me. However, I attended a dinner recently and it changed my views on it all. They talk differently, their discussions are about different things and they hold themselves in a different way. All these things then add up to why they are ahead in the pecking order and it is because they conceptualise things differently and I am pretty sure I knew this already but I just didn't put much emphasis on it. They discuss problems and who in their networks can solve these problems and share resources. This all to me is way more interesting then sitting around a table with friends and discussing what a dick Jonny was at school, which just so happens to be now 12 years ago. Those conversations no longer excite me but the conversation around the dinner table the other night definitely did because we talked about trends in business, resources, problems and solutions. Things that you then take into the office the following day, week or month and implement to help progress you in your career and help take you from where you are to where you want to be.
