A Chip On The Shoulder And New Beginnings – Association Hustle Episode 295 (6m 56s)
Listen to this week's association hustle podcast to improve your growth as an individual, professional, and even a company. Identify your core mission and values, and you will find success by honing in on authenticity. Hello and welcome to JP Moery’s Association Hustle Podcast. President of The Moery Company, JP’s mission is to arm today’s associations with insight and strategy to thrive and a progressively complex and competitive business landscape. 21st century associations must move forward with a little bit of hustle and revenue development at their core. Here’s JP. I spent way too much time early in my career seeking approval from others, conforming, and maybe not even being my true self. I came from Washington, D.C. from Oklahoma. The fact that I didn't have the work experience made me feel inferior in the newenvironment. Some advice I give to my younger colleagues and people getting started in the space is this: it's your race. What's important is how valuable you become over your career, and that starts with how much you can help others. How I get energy for a big presentation, is by trying to be myself and offer the most help that I can. It's not that you have to be brilliant, or have the best ideas, but you're trying to help in the best way based on all the information and situations that you've been through. That becomes authentic. That's how you build brand, based on that legacy. Right now is a great time to think about how your association or organization got started. What's the mission and the options for growth, relevance, and influence? The folks that started your organization had a vision of what they wanted this to be, and it's a good time to use it. Balance your work to help achieve that mission. In your own personal career, your authenticity and what you're all about is more important than what other people think.
