You will always be second to arrive

Everywhere you go you will always be second to arrive - your professional reputation always precedes you. If you want to be more successful than you are right now, you need to know your professional reputation because you will always be valued by others. It is others that applaud you, recommend you and hire you. Of course, you can take your chances or, you can take more control over that crucial process.

Your reputation as a consultant, leader or entrepreneur is your greatest asset. Remember that your reputation is not what you say about yourself - it is how you are perceived by others. It is how your clients value your strengths, unique qualities and potential. In the global market, you can't afford not to take every possibility to find the things that is unique and give you competitive advantages. The price for not taking advantage of your professional reputation is high.
