Why it pays to network.

[pstall]

Once a month for the last year or so. I have organized a gathering of former co workers for a little happy hour. I call it the G7 since there is a group of 7 or so I invite. One guy is a former mgr who has moved far up the ladder.But we like hanging with him and it's good for him to blow off steam and be real.

Tonight, out of the blue he surprises me. We are on one drink and he goes pstall, what is your IQ? 120 or 130 or so? Umm, I don't really know I say. He then goes man, you are brillant and you need to be doing something else. Uhh, yeah, I agree.

So later on he gives me a ride home and had never seen Montford Drive. He goes let me see these places. We can grab another drink. Ok cool. So while we are hanging outside he goes ok man, I want to tell you something in full confidence.

I will sponsor you, to do WHATEVER it is you want to do. I only ask one thing. Deliver.

He mentioned some guys names that I know and how he helped them land new jobs and he goes dude you are far and away more talented and ahead of them. You are just lazy. I told him I agree with the lazy part.

So now he and I are gonna hang tomo at the Wells Fargo and come Monday he said come up with some proposals or ideas and he is going to get me into a think tank for the bank.

This was so unexpected. He goes dude. The ideas you have shared or come up with and the impact is amazing. You deserve to be taken care of now.

Totally amazed. So kids. Make sure you continue networking. It will pay off one day.
