Importance of influence....


We are all aware that having an influence on others is quite powerful.  History has shown us that this power can be used for good or evil.  Jim Jones is a clear example on how one can mold the minds of others into becoming dependent on their masters.  Oprah Winfrey has divined how vital trust is in becoming influential.  One might ask how can I be an influencer?  The task is not simple.  You can become an influencer through ideas, and/or your reputation within the workplace gives you the earned respect.  Most innovators develop a passion for a service or business that may exist, but their idea enhances this business or service.  In my opinion, you must think outside the box to generate this idea.  With your experience and or reputation, those who believe in it will follow your idea.  From then on, your thoughts may turn into a phenomenon.  The key is to get others involved in order to become a true influencer.  I don’t find it necessary to be looked upon as a credible source on a grand scale.  For one, your opinions will be scrutinized constantly if you are known worldwide.  Whereas, receiving critiques on a local level may be less overwhelming.  It depends on what one can handle.  There are many ways in becoming an influencer.  How are you going to share your ideas with the world?
