Rule #41: Seek opportunity for others

I do believe that luck exists but people choosing to share, support, connect, promote and raise others is how most things are actually accomplished.

There’s such magic to be found in championing others. In taking a stand for their greatness and intentionally looking for ways you can support them. I know I personally get such a kick from the times when I’m able to give someone else a leg-up, and the more I do this, the more joy I get from it.

There was one time I wasn’t available for a spot on a television show, so I thought long and hard about who I could recommend to the producers to replace me. I knew the opportunity could be game-changing for one of our members, so I referred finance expert Melissa Browne to them and she went on to ace that appearance and become a regular commentator for the network too. During the pandemic I personally reached out to, and subsequently helped, over fifteen of our members access a $10,000 government grant so they could stay in business. When my friend was raising money for her new company, I connected her with seven reasonably high-profile investors – one of whom went on to invest a sizeable amount into her new business.

I’ve been on the receiving end of such kindness, too. I’ll forever be grateful to my friend, author Sarah Wilson, who introduced me to her literary agent in New York whom I’m now lucky to call my agent too. And my dear bestie Narelle was the President of the Entrepreneurs Organisation and championed me to take over her role when her term was done, even though I was only 24 at the time.

It costs nothing to adopt this mindset and always be on the lookout for ways you can play a part, big or small, in another person’s success.
