For the next several weeks, our discussion will help you become more valuable to your organization by learning how to hunt for opportunities. Be sure to download your Opportunity Card.
Your Opportunity Card
We’ll spend then next couple of weeks learning how to hunt for opportunities – ways to create greater value for your company not only in a down economy, but in any economy. But first, you need your Opportunity Card. This is a sheet that you must always keep with you – and every time you think of something that will help the company be more efficient, be better with customers, improve products or services, increase sales or help the business out, record it.
Start to notice everything around you – with an eye for opportunities – positive ways to help your business. With every employee watching and inventing ways to add great value, your company will survive tough times and be great. This will be critical to keeping your job and advancing your career.
Next week we talk about how you can use your social networks to find opportunities.
