5 WAYS TO REMAIN RELEVANT
5 WAYS TO
REMAIN RELEVANT
By Godfrey Ifeanyi
So how do we keep up in this game called life, with our
variety of disciplines and specialties. As an entrepreneur, coach, student, consultant
or whatever you may be. We live in a fast changing world and becoming relevant
can happen with a stroke of luck but remaining relevant is a different ball
game.
Here is the fact if you don’t keep yourself relevant,
relevant people will hire you to keep themselves relevant.
This post is necessarily not for everyone, it’s for those
who understand that life often demands more from you than you always demand
from yourself
Let’s consider 5 ways you can keep yourself never antiquated.
1.
CONTINUOUS
LEARNING. What you know yesterday can never be enough to solve the rising
challenges of today, learn like your life depends on it because actually it
does.
Your audience, market, followers or
community is in constant need of fresh information and the more you can’t
deliver the more they lose interest. That calls for constant improvement,
development and learning on your part. Constant learning helps you know more,
do more and become more.
2.
ACCEPT
AND RESPOND TO CHANGE. Change happens without your permission, it’s like
the seasons, you can’t have summer forever. Sometimes it happens too fast than
we can handle, but our ability to leverage off every recent trend and create
valuable content for our audience keeps us never outdated in the market place.
3.
BE
VERSATILE. You can’t be relevant if you are not able to deliver in more
than one capacity, build a system of versatility that makes you needed in a
variety of disciplines. You may not always be needed for that thing you are an
expert in, grab basic knowledge about a couple of thing.
4.
BE REAL.
Authenticity is the foundation of relevance. You are always needed if you are
always real. Appear to others as you are without pretence or phoniness, always
present your authentic self. You easily fade away if what you give out is the
fake you.
5.
TAKE
ACTION. How do people know if you are relevant? What’s the prove you
present in the market place for people to appreciate your expertise. It’s simple!
Start taking action, throw your skills and abilities into the market place. Make
some noise, blow your trumpet, get some attention. Don’t be a lighted candle
under the bushel, go find a mountain where the world can see you and shine from
there.

2. A deliberate effort.
3. Being consistent.
4. Aiming best - to defy the status quo.
And most importantly,
. By building valuable relationships.
