Here is an outline of some key force multipliers that I have seen used effectively in the ongoing battle for business survival and success: Establish a presence on multiple social media channels. Amazingly, I still find that many small businesses still don’t use any social media, much less appear on a range of platforms.

Yet “another networking event”. Haven’t I learned by now that it’s better to be disciplined, focused in my office, at the computer, than “on the go” in a daze at a conference.

I often find somebody at a conference will say “I comment on your blog from time-to-time.” This can be at a conference, via an intro from a mutual friend or similar. You don’t necessarily need to spend 45 minutes standing by them at a conference. But it doesn’t have to be every time or all the time.

Status: network, connections, and personal brand. I recommend that you get more visible at industry conferences and on social media. In any career, an advanced degree, such as an MBA or PhD, will at least give you entrée into more opportunities. From that point forward, results and creativity are the drivers.
