The most powerful word

“The most powerful word in the English language is Rolodex.” Harvey McKay

Harvey McKay says that the more people you know and the more people who know you the more business you can do. And he ought to know, he has built several multimillion-dollar companies. So how powerful is your rolodex? Here are some names you need to cultivate for your network…

1. Family…. Immediate family, extended family and those friends who are as close as family.

2. Friends… people you simply like to hang around…

3. Business people… people you do business with and who can send you business.

4. Suppliers… business people like printers, graphic artists, etc. but don’t forget those service people for your home, plumbers, repair people, etc.

5. Millionaires… Yes this is crazy but make sure you know the names and addresses of people who are more accomplished than you. You become like the people you hang around so hang around people who are worth more and are more accomplished than you. I myself am looking for serious Christians who are worth $5 million.

Charlie Tremendous Jones said it best… “You will be different a year from today by the books that you read and the people you know.”
