Could the missing links to your success be hiding out right in your own network? If they were, wouldn't you want to know? Wouldn't you take the critical steps to explore the possibilities and essentially locate the hidden treasures? I am willing to bet that you would and it may not be as difficult as one might think.
Anything worth true value usually requires work to obtain. The question is upon the individual as to whether they are willing to put in the necessary labor.
It can be quite exciting and enlightening to uncover favorable options within your own base of connections. Part of the excitement is discovering that all was available to you for some time but could only be revealed after you sought it out.
Golden opportunities and the simple connections to valuable resources are available to the majority if they would only take the right steps to locate them. That dilemma, is that most don't make the effort and even more don't know how.
There are many different ways to take stock of a network but good results is what people are after. The best methods are those which have been tried and tested through time. This means that the hard work has already been put in and there is a basic sequence to follow;
1. Determine the size by examining multiple angles
If you have ever taken stock of your network, you may have only focused on one angle or aspect. There are more to be considered; people you went to school with, all of your friends on online social networks, past coworkers, etc.. In general, people who know you and are on good terms.
2. Determine who can help you
If you are on a specific path for your career/business goals, you will already know what type of individuals can help to make profitable things happen for you. That said, laying out a detailed chart which describes those people within your extended network, can show you options and variables that you may have never contemplated.
3. Assemble realistic possibilities
Once you have the opportunity to see all of the variables that have now been brought to the surface, you should be strikingly realistic in creating probable outcomes. The reason for such practicality is to avoid wasting too much time in the fantasy phase.
A realistic and tangible perspective is what you're after. It is important not to limit your imagination unfairly but this must conclude as a productive exercise.
