ACRE Of Diamond: The 4 People That Can Help You Shine

Have you read Acres of Diamonds by Russell Conwell?If not, I would highly recommend that you read it.The reason why I asked that question is because I do a lot of networking. There are two things you can ask others when you network with them, How can you help them and how can they help you? There have been many times where people act like they don't know anyone that can help you or themselves.The book Acres of Diamonds helps you realize that there are opportunities all around us, but we have to be willing to open our eyes and look for them. In the book a farmer sold his land and went out to search for diamonds. He ended up taking his own life after his journey ended with no diamonds. The man he sold his land to later found diamonds on the very same land.Before you decide that what you have in talent is not worthy, take a great look into your life and see how you can make a difference.In order to make the process of networking easier I made each letter in the word A.C.R.E. sta
nd for something that can help open up doors to your future. The next time someone says they don't know anyone please show them this format so that they can help you and you can help them.The A is for Associates. Who have you met recently that you think can help you grow? Before you approach this person think about how you can help them grow? If you do not know exactly what they do before you meet ask with a phone call or an email.The C is for Community or Church contacts. I recently joined Friendship Baptist Church and I met a member named Deacon Obleton who worked for the school board. Deacon Obleton introduced me to Dr. Betty McBride and after meeting with Dr. McBride who is over Guidance services, I was hired to be the luncheon speaker at the Counselors Connecting to Make A Difference Conference.The R is for Relatives. Do you know exactly what your family members do? Do they know exactly what you do? A brief get to know session with people that are close to you can open
up doors that would of never even been approached. My wife Kim supports my efforts and even goes to networking events with me.The E is for Educational connections. I graduated from Tennessee State University in 1992 and there are still people that I keep in touch with. When I self published my first book, the TSU bookstore opened their doors for me to do a booksigning during homecoming festivities.These are not just four people but also areas in your life where you can help others and help yourself to unlimited possibilities. You can help by looking into your A.C.R.E. and find out who your influential contacts are. You're A.C.R.E. is a diamond that with the right polish can leave a light that can forever shine.
