What is the value of AGE? Young professionals commonly say seasoned professionals SLOW the process. Seasoned professionals say their value is to guide youthful enthusiasm with KNOWLEDGE. Which is TRUE?
BOTH. Yes, both are VERY accurate. After a discussion last night with an individual many years my senior, I realized that in our RELATIONAL process it is my duty to PUSH him as hard as possible to take action, quickly and decisively. It is his role to TAME my enthusiasm with wisdom based on experience and knowledge. With our COMBINED roles, we are able to PUSH at the most REASONABLE pace for success and accomplishment.
What does this mean to you as a professional? Well, regardless of your age, you are always near to someone that has WISDOM you are able to tap. As the less experienced in that relationship, your AGGRESSIVE goals and motivations (remember this is relative always when speaking to age differences) are INSPIRATION and HOPE for the more experienced member. When two people COMBINE appropriately, both persons BENEFIT from the relationship!
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
In a discussion this morning, I spoke with a person of greater business EXPERIENCE and time investment than myself. I was given these words of WISDOM...
"Make a goal to meet ONE (1) new person every day, not to sell them anything, rather to know them personally. Know their name and something about them. Find out what they like and want. Once you UNDERSTAND them and make the INVESTMENT into them as a person, they will understand your SINCERITY and QUALITY.
Once you have DEVELOPED friendship and trust, you will find all the other things you deem "important" will begin to FULFILL themselves. By truly investing in KNOWING people, you will build your personal brand and the success you are seeking."
That seems fairly wise to me. What a GREAT lift from my one new person of the day... Have you met your new person today?
Cheers,
Zach
