5 Ways to Stay Top of Mind
Remember that old adage preparation + opportunity = luck? Well, this proved to be true. I am coming fresh my first weekend of PMP training. The thing is that last week Monday, I did not have this training. However, I managed to get it. Why? Because I stayed top of mind. Here are 5 ways that you can do the same.
5 Ways to Stay Top of Mind Show up daily

Deliver value
Value is indispensable character trait of mine. Ever since I started www.carlarjenkins.com in 2015, I promised myself not to write any fluff pieces. That mantra served me well with all of the opportunities that I am receiving. Delivering value in my area of expertise makes you stand out from others.
