The Secret To Becoming The Big Dog
Have you ever heard people referring to others with power, money and influence as the "big dog"? As a foreigner who didn't speak English when I came to this country, I was certainly confused about that meant.
The first time I heard the term was when a co-workder said to me that the big dogs were coming to visit the plant today. Now, I am afraid of dogs! You imagine my reaction. But today I completely understand what that means. You see, big dogs command respect and they don't even have to be mean. Just their very presence creates awareness.
How do you become a big dog? Actually, the very best way to become a big dog is to first become a little dog or an under dog. Consider this, a Chiwawa is all you need to be a first. Then they will bestow upon you the big dog title.
So, just like a Chiwawa, make enough noise to get the attention of the big dogs. And soon, they will start considering you as a peer. It's that simple. Be a Chiwawa in the mist of the big dogs and in no time you will be a big dog, too.
Here Are 5 Powerful Ways to Make Noise and Gain Recognition:
1) Study your field. You have to know more about your field than anyone else in your circle. When it comes to gathering cutting edge and usable information about your field you simply can't afford not to have the time.
2)Write articles, a book, go on the radio and television. Be visible as an authoritative personality in your field.
3) Take a controversial stand and challenge a big dog point of view. This is a fantastic strategy.
4)Take a thought from a big dog then meditate on it until you can come up with an original thought.
5)Create a fountain of wisdom. You can learn a lot from king Salomon in the bible. A fountain of wisdom is exactly what the name implies. It's always flowing.
People will come from miles away to drink from it. Do not set out to give information. Today, because of the internet, information is cheap and we don't even want if for free.
Here's How to Create a Fountain of Wisdom...
a)Use the process of association. The key is to take the known and associate it with the unknown. Jesus was the master at that. He answered every question with a metaphor.
b)Use the onion principle. As you are creating your fountain of wisdom, start peeling every nugget of wisdom to find more out of it. Do not stop short. Keep digging and probing. Most people stop early. You best will come out as continue to delve deeper into a subject.
There you have it.
