Stop Rejecting Your INDUSTRY

15 minutes

Opportunities can come from doing above and beyond your pay check by supporting your sector. Going to events or networking with new people in your industry can be great way to grow yourself and find valuable opportunities. Listen to this episode of More With Moreira where Desmond dives deeper into why rejecting your industry is not a good idea.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Lots of people or companies instantly resist or reject new ideas from people who may be new to an industry. I find this is usually not because they don’t like the idea but because they don’t like the idea of collaborating.

When you reject things such as industry events or making the effort with new people within the industry, you’ll miss out on a lot of knowledge that you can only get from an outside perspective.

The biggest event of the year, within the block management industry for me would be the IRPM seminar. I go to this predominately to network with new people within my industry.

It’s not necessarily about the content said on stage at events or showing people you were there. It’s more about networking and meeting new people who may be of value to me in the future.

I used to be sceptical of anyone who did anything but I missed out on so many opportunities because of this mind-set.

These events are my motivation to network and make me realise how may great people there are in your sector.

You have to do something beyond your pay check in order to gain more opportunity and grow your sector so you can grow with it.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We’re very quick to reject new industry ideas from people new to the industry.’

‘You could gain a valuable contact from networking with new people, they may help you later down the line’

‘Don’t turn your nose up at companies that are benefiting from helping other people out as well as themselves.’

‘It would be great if there was more support from the public with these networking events.’

‘Support the industry.’

‘Everyone has something to contribute that’s bigger than what you’re already doing.’

ABOUT THE HOST

I don’t know how this works, but you’re here now listening (hopefully) about my

exciting life, so I’m going to try and make this worth your while. I never got

inspired at school, I was too busy trying to impress my peers, chasing girls,

and being a fool to get inspired. I rejected school. But let me tell you

something for free! That was a mistake! I spent the next 15 years in jobs I

hated, with no direction, lacked purpose, and motivation for life. Yes, big

words, but that was me in a box. A slave to the system! Fast forward to today,

and well, I’m not sitting in my ivory tower or anything, but I love life and my

career. Yeah, it’s both painful and exciting rolled and wrapped up into one

giant subway, and who doesn’t love subway rite? The point is, you only get one

life, don’t waste it pursuing things you care nothing for, invest in YOURSELF

and grow as a person, be the best YOU by putting YOU first!
