Posted by Dave Lorenzo - Business Coach

In business, people are among your greatest resources. I would like to encourage new business owners, those just starting their careers, mid-career professionals considering a career shift, and anyone else who wants to intensify his or her career to seek out the advice, assistance, and wisdom of friends, family, and loved ones. We often tend to pigeonhole the people closest to us into restrictive roles. Ed’s the IT guy, Jane’s the legal expert, and Mark knows everything about insurance. Katie likes chick flicks, Dave’s favorite is barbeque, and Cindy loves basketball. Your friends are most likely intelligent and multi-faceted individuals who have opinions, ideas, and experience in a range of areas. When you spend time with them, open up and talk to them about whatever’s on your mind. You just never know who’s going to have a breakthrough idea to help you tremendously. The people who know you best are huge assets. They can offer insights you never would have considered yourself. Rely on these people for their support and encouragement, and for their sharp thinking in times of need. Not only does doing so help you take big strides forward in your career, it adds depth and meaning to the relationships.
