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

Consistency is key. Whether or not I teaching by myself of through a partnership, I show up everyday. I show up via my email, blog and social media. People work with people they know, like and trust. Consistency accelerates that process.

Fortune in the Follow-Up

Once is not enough. People get flooded with information and requests all day long. That is why follow-up is important. I follow up once a week, twice at the most. Spacing these follow ups allow people to research, find the answer and get back to you.

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.

Show genuine interest
