What You Know (your knowledge)

-Confucius
What You Can Do (your skills)
“Success is a learnable skill. You can learn to succeed at most anything.”
-T. Harv Eker
Who You Know (your network)
“Networking is the Number 1 unwritten rule of success in business.”
-Sallie Krawcheck
What You Have (your resources)
“It’s not resources but resourcefulness that ultimately makes the difference.”
-Tony Robbins
What The World Thinks Of You (your reputation)

-Dave Allen
These five buckets are interconnected, and filling one helps to fill another. Applied knowledge is a skill, and the more you can expand and apply your knowledge, the more value you’ll create in the world. This value will be repaid in a growing network, abundant resources, and a robust reputation. The sum of these five buckets is the sum of your professional potential. The fullness of these buckets will determine how big, believable, and achievable your dreams are to you, and to those that hear them.
-Steve Bartlett
