March Newsletter (You are your Network!)

For many of us, the word “networking” conjures up the artless exchange of business cards at a meeting you probably don’t want to attend! That's really unfortunate, because successful networking can unlock the doors to your future. 85% of jobs are found through a personal network. From an employers’ point of view, 85% of their new hires come from their network. Here at SDSI, we have over 90 executives in our membership. Lets say each has 20 core contacts for sales, finance, digital marketing, etc. Do the math, that's 1800 possible core resources most of which are available for asking, if you are in the network! The really interesting thing is that our combined resources cover the spectrum and even include companies who have an amazing network and specialize in search…that is a huge “rolodex,” and one of the core values of SDSI.
 
I am reminded by Guy Kawasaki’s excellent podcast “Say Yes when you are Young…and Old.”  In it, Guy discusses the power of luck and its’ intersection with serendipity, all predicated on your inclination to say “yes” to that improbable person or idea. If you are truly curious, hit the link and unlock a powerful idea: “Go ahead. Say yes, The world is waiting!” Read Here
