Where the Good Things Are

Ever stop to think where most opportunities come from? Here’s a valuable secret. The single most powerful source of opportunities and good things is other people.

That's right. Other people will bring you most of the big breaks in your life. So it's important to learn how to get along well with others.

Are your social skills sort of rusty? Or maybe you never learned much about getting along with others. If so, don't despair; it's not that hard to learn.

Here are three quick tips for polishing your people skills:

First, get some books from the library (or bookstore). Read them. Study them. Practice the things they say. One of the finest books is the classic How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. Don't turn up your nose. This book has a long, long history of helping people acquire success skills.

Second, look for night classes in social skills at your local junior college or high school. This can range from social dancing (no, I'm not kidding) to assertiveness training. You should even consider taking a few sales courses. Even if you never sell anything professionally, sales training can help you learn to connect with other people more effectively. Another top choice is anything you can get on NLP.

Now, I'm not talking about Googling the subjects and learning about them. No, I'm suggesting you go and get physically engaged in the activities.

Third, Get out of the house. Go do stuff. This is an extension of point two above. By doing things, I don't mean camping alone. Go where there are people. Join a local charity group. Attend lectures on a topic that interests you such as art, music, drama or local politics. Just go meet new people, and practice your new skills.

Learn these skills, experience people liking you, and soon you'll have folks bringing you all sorts of interesting new opportunities. This tip alone can put your career into warp-drive
