People can zoom you into success. We have probably heard of
insider trading, something that can be associated with the recent
Bitcoin liquidation. I mean who will take the
risk of shorting the
market with so much millions without having a full detail or at least a clue of what is going on. Come on, let's be more precise, clue is not tangible enough. You wouldn't risk it for just clues, would you? Ok, I should halt here. This wasn't the center of today's topic although the 'insider' word is included.
All I am trying to do here is lay a foundation on how 'insider businessesing' has great advantage. Just has it happens in the
financial market and it is
term 'unethical', from another angle it is always worth striving for it.
investment is always about having information and having the right information entails having the right people. You don't break ranks without having influence from the inside.
I can remember a
movie from my childhood
days about a
city that was so defensive that it's enemies have never been able to break inside. Even the strongest and fiercest of commanders did their best but was to no avail. A
time came that their opponent instead of coming for a fight choosed to sneak in and dwell amongst them. The idea was not even to cause a fight from the inside but rather to raise an
army with his opponent.
source To cut the whole matter
short, she succeeded disarming the enemy from the inside as there was a division, some preferred a change in power in the process and that was how the kingdom was lost. The
story may seem tragic but there is a
lot to learn. The first is the fact that you need people of strength from the inside to
work with.
So I was having a conversation with a potential
customer yesterday and was telling him about all our services. Of course where he is working is a place that will be demanding such services at least once in a
year and on a massive scale. He had the idea of patronizing us yet there were some limitations he was presenting. He was not influencing the chain of decision within their organization board. I have to wait my turn until he grows in rank. I understood what he meant as the
man currently in charge also has those in his favor list.
I once talked about having influential people in a recent
article. This is what spurs up the insider effect. To grow in
business, working with people who are inside where your business
flow happens is of great importance. It becomes very rigid and staggering when there is no one to defend your course where it really matters. I have seen many businesses flourishing, not because they deliver the best of services or best of expertise (maybe at the start) but rather because someone was there to issue them in.
source I am learning everyday from business. In as much as efficiency, persistence, commitment and the rest is very needed. You don't need to neglect the usefulness of insiders. Have people where it matters, the earlier you start this the better.
humans are
assets if only you know how to
leverage them. An
entrepreneur must learn how to create
bonds with those that matter, I call this influential marketing. This type of marketing creates groundbreaking results when a single deal goes through.
Just as in the case of that city that was finally overthrown, people sided with her. A bond was created and it stirred up trust and concerns in the process. If you are the only person concerned about your growth, be ready to struggle for long and to add the painful part of it, you may never get there.
To conclude, let me add,
life is about exposure and how you can leverage it. In the
world of business, the insider effect is still producing needed results. Aligning your vision with the patterned people that will help you shoot out is of necessity. Even as a man of faith, you have to prepare grounds for God to
trigger the needed favor.
Many of us need help without finding the proper channels of focus. I believe in favour,
opportunities and divine intervention but adding to that, let's help
play our cards right. "It takes someone up there to push you out, and it also takes someone up there to pull you in, the difference is bond"--- dani-EL. Looking from a business perspective, this is an insider effect.
