MYTH WARRIORS! Professional success is based on who you know, NOT what you know!

In the MYTH WARRIORS™ series we are targeting ideas to begin to assess whether they are credible or not. We are warriors fighting to establish clarity between what is accurate and what is simply a myth (or falsehood) in life. In this episode our topic is, “Professional success is based on who you know, NOT what you know!”

How do  we surpass our goals? Is it based on long years of study, sacrifice, skill development and striving? Or, is that a myth that cheats people out of ever achieving their ultimate dreams? Does real success in life come from making those “connections” which will open up doors and put you on the easy and quick path to prosperity and power? This concept is very powerful and is pervasive. 

Do you need to simply “get to know” the right people and magically be transported to the life of ease, living amongst the elite? Can you “network” with others who will show/ teach/ share secrets with you to find the key to unlock the door to “the good life?” There are a multitude of sources who will assure you that they have the “secret” that will change your job/ income/ economic situation and if you “invest in yourself” they will make sure you are successful beyond your wildest dreams. Perhaps.

I don’t have any connections or secret networks that I access. I believe in doing my best each day and striving for excellence. On my best days I am incredibly proud of what I am able to achieve in terms of high quality work product. On my worst days I am overwhelmed and ashamed that I have failed to meet my own standards. It is never boring. 

Let’s discuss whether it is who we know or what we know that will make our dreams come true!
