Key Personal Qualities<br />

A.J SILICON<br />

• Being self-employed, consultant’s survival lies in their<br />

ability to find work, which involves promoting skills<br />

amongst peers and the individuals’ network.<br />

• Centres <strong>of</strong> influence are essential.<br />

• Centres <strong>of</strong> influence are people in authority and who are<br />

well respected in their field, who recommend an individual<br />

to others. <strong>The</strong>ir influence is such that when they<br />

recommend someone, that person instantly has credibility.<br />

Others call these "referrers", and they are, but the key is to<br />

convert a referrer into a centre <strong>of</strong> influence. Choose these<br />

people wisely and treat them with great respect.
