Know your Key Players

When putting up together an event, whatever its nature is, I suggest knowing the key players in determined industries that will help you improve and achieve your goal. Because not all the events you will produce will fall into the same category you will need to know or at least search the target for each different topic or category and the same will apply as for the sponsoring and the production itself like, location, permits, licensing, and even providers. Start building a good network, stay connected, maintain your professional and friendship relationships, and be as professional as you can be. Prove that in the practice you are actually what you demonstrate. The reason why I suggest you do this is because as good as you might be at something you wont be able to do it all yourself. Most of the time you will need support from others to get what you want and in those moments is when you will wish to have been connected to someone you never spoke to again, or you will wish to go back to that moment when you had the opportunity to talk to someone and you didn’t. Be connected, know the key players, keep a good relationship with all of them or at least the people that you know will connect you to someone you know will be of great help.

It has a little to do with having a diplomatic relationship with everyone you know, even if sometimes you don’t see the point in maintaining communicated with people sometimes you don’t like much. This combined with a good professional record builds a reputation that you will want to take care of. A good reputation some people say is priceless and they might be right. And it’s not because of what others say but because most of the times you will learn that it will be the determining point that will help you open the doors that are kept closed for other people around you.
