Networking

August 13, 2012 12 Comments


wealthymatters.comNetworking is not always my favourite chore but I believe it to be an important aspect of being a a successful business person.

While networking with peers, we can get by by talking mutual benefit.However things become a bit more tricky when the other person is a lot more well off.Seriously wealthy people need not grab every offer that comes their way in the hopes of bettering their lot.They can afford to be picky about who they associate with and on what terms.

I believe authenticity works best.Self made made wealthy people have probably trodden the path we are on and have a better understanding of what we are about than we might be willing to admit even to ourselves.It doesn’t make much sense, under the circumstances,to pretend to be what we are not.And understanding where the other person might be coming from always makes things easier.Often silence is the best choice when you don’t know or don’t really agree.

Learning From Sir Richard Branson

August 9, 2012 16 Comments


wealthymattersHere is what Sir Richard has to say:

1. On big companies vs. small companies

“Small is beautiful.” Sir Richard doesn’t see size as a competitive advantage.

His Virgin Records label is not the biggest in the music industry, but in 1992 it attracted the Rolling Stones. Virgin Airlines has a mere 37 airplanes versus the 700+ maintained by its competitors. It’s better to spin off a company into a second smaller company (as Virgin Atlantic spun off Virgin America) than grow larger, Sir Richard believes, because smaller companies can stay both more nimble and more customer-focused. They can also maintain the style and “cheekiness” of their early trailblazing if they stay relatively compact. Read more of this post
