026 - Manage your reputation: News travels!   When there’s a big (or small) opportunity on the table people start asking two (2) questions: Who do you know? What do you know about them? Since word of mouth is still a powerful, compelling medium, it’s important to manage your reputation. Ask for feedback and collect testimonials! Reality check: The company or boss are in business to make money, not to make you happy.  If you want more from them, it’s your responsibility to build a compelling case. Professionals are “Always On”! Even outside the office, the person controlling the next opportunity may be watching. Have fun, but consider how it will impact your reputation. Quick take-away on character: It can take a lifetime to build, and 30 seconds to destroy.     Put some rocket fuel in your career, grow faster, make deeper connections and more money.   For more information visit focusthefire.com and join the community list to get fire in your inbox.   Facebook | Instagram | Twitter: @focusthefire (show) or @dalanv (host)
