10 Steps to Having a More Positive Influence on Others
The basic idea: For over nine years, I've been doing my best to use LinkedIn to have a positive and uplifting influence on others. To put this in a single sentence, while some initially saw LinkedIn as a place to sell, it always has seemed to me like a wonderful place to serve.
Along the way, I have encountered dozens of amazing entrepreneurs who became my clients and friends. Each has taught me at least as much as I have taught them.
No matter whether on my own or on behalf of a client, certain principles have guided me. At this point, they are proven rules for having a positive influence on others. Here they are:
A bit more background: My website now includes a comprehensive section that explains my Increase Your Influence system. It's completely free; you don't even have to register to access it. There's a page for each principle, along with a few extra resources.
These principles answer pretty much every question anyone has ever asked me professionally, including:
- How do I have a greater impact?
- What can I say to be more persuasive?
- How can I grow my business?
- What can I do to expand my professional network?
Astute observers will note that today I am following my own give away good ideas principle. It says:
The secret to success in social media is to give valuable ideas away for free. Help without getting paid, and in the long run you will make more, not less.
I want to work with kind souls, professionals who do well by doing good. Nearly every time I give away content for free, people like this find me. To put this another way, I have always found it more profitable to give away great content than to sell it.
