How to be exceptional in 2016...Be the Go-To Professional

Is there someone whom you immediately think of or go to or call whenever you are in a fix or in need of a sounding board? Why do you consider that person as your resource or solutions provider?

On the other hand, as a professional, have you sometimes received requests for support or help beyond your normal service offering or field of expertise? Imagine if anyone who had a problem thought of you as their solutions provider or at least the starting point for them getting one? That is a great opportunity for you to position yourself as the ‪#‎GoToProfessional within your field of expertise.

Business Beyond profits

One of my points to ponder from the recently concluded 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Summit aka ‪#‎GES2015 was from Daymond John, the founder and CEO of urban clothing line, FUBU which he founded at the tender age of 20. Daymond is also a co-host of the shark tank show. One of the questions he was asked in Citizen TV one-on-one interview was whether he had any plans to invest in Kenya. Among the things he looks out for in investment opportunities, he looks for “things have some level of a social cause” a double bottom line. This is so that in case the business doesn’t work out, there is something else beneficial out of it. This is after he had mentioned that he closed down FUBU 3 times when he ran out of money and reopened every time he got some money.
