Life Is not the amount of breaths you take, it’s the
moments in your life that take your breath away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My thoughts Chapter 14 This time

Whoa Another set of Aha moments, more like Aha
hours LISTEN to this
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“The ‘thirteenth’ principle is known as the SIXTH
SENSE, through which Infinite Intelligence may,
and will communicate voluntarily, without any
effort from, or demands by, the individual. This
principle is the apex of the philosophy.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This little paragraph now holds such significance
for me - I can VOLUNTARILY without effort communicate
with what Mr Hill describes infinite intelligence -
How could I master this I asked myself each time I
read this chapter - Well first I had to learn to
dream again, to see in my mind my achieving the life
I have always wanted - Why have I never quite got
here before ? What stopped me three feet from the
Gold —— I DID———

I listened to OPP “other peoples programming” I let
their thoughts become my thoughts,….their beliefs
become my beleifs, I stopped dreaming —— Once I
STOPPED the chatter and reintroduced me to me, the
dreams started ——- once the dreams started my
imagination woke up just like Rip Van Winkle awaking
from a 20 year nap….

My imagination fires my visualizations I now see my
self living the reality I have always desired , but
until now has been a fleeting image in my mind _I was
unable to grasp it firmly, unable to beleive it could
ever come true - Today when my “little voice” speaks
it sounds as if she is using a megaphone, she will not
ever again be denied existence, never again be shut
out - I listen and the opportunites are brought to
me - my desires are MY reality…

The starting point of ALL achievment is Desire. How
can there be any doubt in my mind that I need to have
clarity of thought as to what it is that I desire. Mr.
Hill, again and again has made the point that the key
to achieving ones goals is to have the burning desire
to ignite the the passion within us to move us from a
state of merely wishing to one in which our actions
bring about the desired goal.

Were I not able to imagine this, I would not be able
to Visualize it, Were i not able to visualize my
desires I would not be able to achieve them - Wow I
am soo happy I let my imagination run wild - how can
I have passion without imagination - Simple I can’t

How can I have clarity of thought If I am stifiling
my imagination, I can’t, how can I resolve issues,
disolve doubts If I refuse to listen to my inner
voice my sixth sense simple I can’t How can I
achieve that which I DO NOT allow myself to Dream
of, simple I can’t…

My dreams and imagination are the fuel that stokes
my emotions, raises the passion that I posses to
achieve my burning desire How ?

Simple I can see it -If I can see a point off in the
distance walking there is easy I just do it And to
imagine This began because one man said ..”Sarah,I
will beleive in You until You believe in Your self.

He told me “I will never give up on you “My children
are the only ones who ever (prior to Michael and
Linda) had unconditional love and belief in me.

Thier (Michael and Lindas ) beleif was not based on
what I had done, Simply based on what they Knew I was
capable of achieivng once I learned to believe in me.

All I had to do, is take the simple step to to make
the choice to beleive in me Easy to do, and ya know
what also very Easy not to do,, this is a step now
take every morning

Thank you both for the precious gift of time and
belief

Chapter 14
The Sixth Sense
The Door to the Temple of Wisdom
The Thirteenth Step toward Riches

The last time I read this chapter I came to understand
that the sixth sense is, in essence, man’s human spirit
since that is the only way we connect with Infinite
Intelligence, spirit to Spirit.

This time I picked up on something that I totally missed
before and that is the statement “The next best thing to
being truly great, is to emulate the great.”

I have never before now emulated anyone. Notice I
said before now. You see, I have never had a mentor
or anyone else I desired to be like. Sure, I’ve known
people who have been successful in their chosen field,
but never thought about emultaing them to build my
character through autosuggestion. Until now.

In examining Napoleon HIlls’ cabinet members, there
are several character traits I wish to emulate so I
started thinking about people who I could possibly
follow. However, I could only think of one person who
I admire and respect, someone who has literally
changed the lives of thousands and one day soon,
millions of people.

I desire to acquire their freedom of thought and the
courage and clarity with which to express convictions.

I desire to acquire from them the marvelous patience
and ability to study cause and effect without bias or prejudice.

I desire to build into my character the keen sense of
justice, the untiring spirit of patience, the sense
of humor, and human understanding.

I am already indebted to them for helping me to
succeed in my business, which is bringing me great
happiness and peace of mind. I wish to acquire
thorough understanding of the principles of organized
effort, which they have used so effectively in building
their empire.

I wish to acquire their spirit of persistence,
determination, poise and self-confidence which has
enabled them to master poverty, organize, simplify
and unify human effort so I may help others to follow
in their footsteps.

I wish to acquire from them, by emulation, the
marvelous ability they possess to inspire men, and
to arouse them to greater and more determined spirit
of action. Also, to acquire the spirit of enduring
faith, which enabled them to turn defeat into victory,
and to surmount staggering obstacles.

Emperor of Fate, King of Chance, Man and Woman of
Destiny, I salute you, Michael & Linda Dlouhy.
(Behind every great manis a great woman and you two
do flow as one).

Thanks for giving me someone to emulate so I, too,
can step into my greatness.

Sincerely,
Irma White
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 14 The Sixth Sense

The sixth sense is not something easily described to
people who have not studied and mastered the other
principles in this book.

It is another name for Creative Imangination. The
Creative Imagination is the part of us that suddenly
gets a great idea, or thought or a plan that comes to
mind to achieve a goal or solve a problem.

It is a mixture of the mental and the spiritual.

When I sit in church and clear my mind of ALL thoughts,
I begin to hear solutions or ideas for attaining a new
goal in my business, or ways to love on my children or
just gratitude for being alive and having fun in my
business and in my personal life for the first time
Ever.

Hill says that we also have a sense of impending dangers
in time to avoid them or opportunities in time to embrace
them. Probably the hardest lesson I ever learned was to
listen to my foreboding, when I felt a knotting up in my
stomach when I was going to do something somebody wanted
me to do that I wasn’t’ sure of, or paid somebody for
something that I was uncomfortable doing. I used to get
taken advantage of so SO much before I learned this
lesson.

Hill speaks of building character through auto-
suggestion. He speaks of having a table of people
you admire to council with every night. What an
Awesome thought! I know that I now do this with
my therapist who became a mother to me.

She told me I would be able to do this one day. To
learn to know what to do because I had learned so
much from her. Because she had comforted me so much
through my difficult days. I learned to comfort My
self, and draw on her and what she’d taught me.

Now I see doing this with my Network Marketing mentors.
To have more time spent with them in my mind’s eye. We
don’t always see each other in person Michael, but I
can still take what I’ve learned and what I am learning
from you and council with you and Tom “Big Al” Shreiter
and Art Jonak every night before I go to sleep, and
receive what Hill is talking about.

WOW! What a thought! This is how my sixth sense will
be able to draw from the ether and the ideas floating
around out there!

This way I can continue to expel all negative thoughts
that used to live in my mind that sometimes I find move
in without my realizing it. Today, as I was teaching
my daughter’s religious education class, this 6th grader
talked of a baby being brutally hurt by her father, or
killed or something to do with a microwave.

Michael my mind immediately graphically saw this. My
stomach knotted up, I wanted to run to the bathroom and
sit on the floor rolled up in a tight ball fighting tears.

I realized immediately that the thought had been so power
ful it had permeated all my defenses. I could see myself teetering on the brink of succumbing to all the horrible physical and mental anguish I used to feel.

I began my self talk fast and furious. I did not have
much faith that I would be successful in dispelling it,
but lo and behold! It worked! I was Amazed!

Thank you so much for this lesson. It has probably saved
my life in more ways than one.

So with that, I have to say, that what I would ask you
to give me in my Nightly Council before I go to sleep
is: Your confidence, your total mastery of this
business and relationship building, your vast un-
believable knowledge of all the nuts and bolts, the
good the bad and the ugly.

Your Amazing love for so many. And last but not least,
your Unbelievable conviction that you DESERVE a life
most people only dream of and the Powerful Powerful
ability to VISUALIZE beyond belief.

From Tom “Big Al” Shreiter, I ask the ability to make
people laugh. The poise and the knowledge to stand in
front of many and teach such skills and talents. The
character to become so beloved among his peers.

The freedom to travel to all ends of the earth. And
the wonderful gift to have raised such beautiful, self
adjusted children.

From Art Jonak, I wish to acquire his ability to create powerful relationships and respect in this industry.His
UTMOST professionalism to never say anything Negative
about Anybody.

His skillfulness to always make me feel good and gently
suggest and not Criticize and last but not least, his
ability to Enjoy “life and work” to the Fullest!

I Absolutely know and trust, that I will gain my hunches, ideas, plans and actions from Infinite intelligence more frequently and more Powerfully than ever before from this
point forward! And in turn, I will most importantly be
able to share them with the people that I mentor on a
daily basis.

The Most Precious Gift you can Give

Posted on June 10th, 2008 in Personal Development, Recent Posts by Sarah Thompson

ONCE YOU READ THIS YOU WILL UNDERSTAND!

A young man learns what’s most important in life from the guy next door.

It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, girls, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.

Over the phone, his mother told him, ‘Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.’ Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.

‘Jack, did you hear me?’

‘Oh, sorry, Mom Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,’ Jack said.

‘Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,’ Mom told him.

‘I loved that old house he lived in,’ Jack said.

‘You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,’ she said

‘He’s the one who taught me carpentry,’ he said. ‘I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important…Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral,’ Jack said.

As busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.

The night before he had to return home, Ja ck and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door on e more time.

Standing in the doorway, Jack paused for a moment. It was like crossing over into another dimension, a leap through space and time The house was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture….Jack stopped suddenly.

‘What’s wrong, Jack?’ his Mom asked.

‘The box is gone,’ he said

‘What box?’ Mom asked.

‘There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most,” Jack said.

It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.

‘Now I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,’ Jack said. ‘I better get some sleep. I have an early flight home, Mom.’

It had been about two weeks since Mr. Belser died Returning home from work one day Jack discovered a note in his mailbox. ‘Signature required on a package. No one at home. Please stop by the main post office within the next three days,’ the note read.

Early the next day Jack retrieved the package. The small box was old and looked like it had been mailed a hundred years a go. The handwriting was difficult to read, but the return address caught his attention. ‘Mr. Harold Belser’ it read. Jack took the box out to his car and ripped open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside.

‘Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It’s the thing I valued most in my life.’ A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, as tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch.

Running his fingers slowly over the finely etched casing, he unlatched the cover. Inside h e found these words engraved:

‘Jack, Thanks for your time! -Harold Belser.’

‘The thing he valued most was…my time’

Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his office and cleared his appointments for the next two days. ‘Why?’ Janet , his assistant asked.

‘I need some time to spend with my son,’ he said.

‘Oh, by the way, Janet, thanks for your time!’

‘Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away,’

Think about this. You may not realize it, but it’s 100% true.

1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don’t like you.
4. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
5. You mean the world to someone
6. If not for you, someone may not be living.
7. You are special and unique.
8. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won’t get it, but if you trust God to do what’s best, and wait on His time, sooner or later, you will get it or something better.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good can still come from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.
11. Someone that you don’t even know exists loves you.
12. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
13 . Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know and you’ll both be happy .
14. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.
Send this letter to all the people you care about, if you do so, you will certainly brighten someone’s day and might change their perspective on life…for the better.

To everyone that reads  this

‘ Thanks for your time ‘

CHAPTER 13 - THE BRAIN
A broadcasting and receiving station for thought

Wow!   As the years have passed since Hill wrote this
chapter, it is awe-inspiring to me how little we have
advanced our understanding of intangible forces. We
study things with our five physical senses and use
instruments to magnify and measure things related to
those senses.

We attempt to understand intangible forces by
analysis involving our physical senses alone. While
we may be more adept at observing natural forces
such as global climate, tornados, hurricanes, gravity
and geothermal forces - it is folly to believe we can
affect these forces through our PHYSICAL actions.

The most powerful of all intangible forces is thought
itself. We can analyze and measure the physical,
chemical, and electrical aspects of the human brain.

But the product of the brain - Thought - is still
only understood and respected by means of FAITH.

All radiant energy is diminished by distance and
physical barriers, but the FORCE OF THOUGHT
transcends space and obstacles - perhaps even
TIME.

Many experiments have been conducted suggesting
that thoughts may be sent and received by human
brains - regardless of barriers. It has been observed
that EMOTIONS (positive or negative) super-charge
the transmission, and that it works best when the
subjects are wide-awake and alert.

Well,,,we all witnessed and participated in such an
experiment  3 weeks ago on our live Mental Cleanse
call. Three “Senders” on the call concentrated on a
photograph and many “receivers” on the call picked
up impressions of the image - such as colors.

Other “receivers” picked up emotional impressions.
It was amazing! Some saw the red of the car in the
photo, others saw the green of the trees in the back
ground.

I thought my impression was off: I saw someone
wearing a white jacket. I was stunned when I saw the
actual photo later that evening and realized that the
woman standing in the doorway of the car was
wearing a white blouse!

There is no doubt in my mind that my brain can
transmit and receive thoughts to and from the ether.
I need not understand how this energy works, just
accept it with faith.

I realize I must carefully choose which thoughts
dominate my brain, and transmit them outward fueled
only with POSITIVE emotions. This power cannot be
denied and must be respected.

Your Friend Always,
Ken Klemm

Chapter 13

The brain is a broadcasting and receiving station for
all thought.  Through the correct stimuli, we can
increase the signal on  both ends and  begin  to
exchange ideas with other minds.  The interesting
phenomenon is that there are no restrictions to who
we exchange with.  There is no restriction to space
or time.

There is one line that really stands out from this
chapter for me.  That is “we are all controlled by
unseen and in-tangible forces”.

In order to make use of this incredible power of the
brain, we must learn to understand it.  We must learn
to control it.

The most useful skills we can exercise are that of
Auto-suggestion, and the use of a Master Mind.  Both
these skills,   which are taught in great detail through
Mentoring For Free,are the building blocks to a burning
desire for your ultimate goal.Let me give you an
example of how this works.

A good friend of mine, Michael, had a dream to become
a successful network marketer. Although he was success
ful as far as money was concerned there was something
missing.

He discovered that no matter how hard you work, if
your main purpose did not benefit the greatest number
of people, without expecting personal gain, your foun
dation will not be strong enough to stand the course
of time.

This enlightenment brought him to create in himself
a desire to give ‘of himself’ to anyone wanting what
he had, without seeking something in return.

His ultimate goal?

Build the largest, most profitable, highest retention
organization ever built in the  history  of  network
marketing, easily and consistently, through education
and teamwork.

This desire began to burn in Michael to the degree
that key people, some that he had never known before,
were answering his call.

This was the start of Mentoring For Free.

Today, thousands of people are not only learning
the skills of networking, but, they are learning
Who They Themselves Are.

The brain will bring to you whatever you want, so
long as it does not conflict with natural laws.One
thing to remember.  What your mind can conceive and
believe, you can achieve. Thank you Michael.

Your friend in Cleveland,
Dan Svoboda

The Brain.  My Lesson  3.25.08

It gets overwhelming rather quickly for me when I
begin thinking about Hill’s explanations of the many
intangible forces in this Universe…mostof which we
just take for granted every day and never really
think about them at all.  As he says, we humans
depend too much on our physical senses and most of
the time, we limit our knowledge to physical things
that we can see, touch, weigh, and measure.

Just as we’ve talked about in this group many times,
as young children, many times we’re programmed to
do just that…what you see is what you get; get your
head out of the clouds; get your feet back on the
ground; face reality; stop daydreaming; well…you
get the idea.

We are not encouraged to even think about the
intangible forces that affect our lives every day.
at least not much beyond reading about gravity in
science class anyway.

To consider the intangible forces of the world that
Hill speaks about…the rolling waves of the ocean;
gravity and all the unfathomable ways that it is at
work all around us; the forces of a thunderstorm and
of electricity…the list goes on and on.

Probably the intangible force that many of us have
probably thought about more often than some of the
others is the intangible force wrapped up in the soil
of the earth.

What little child hasn’t planted a tiny seed in a
cup of dirt for a special Mother’s Day gift and then,
fascinated by what that seed turned into…presented
it with total delight…and ignorance about what
happened?

And are we not still totally “in the dark” about how
those garden seeds turn into a mountain of produce
throughout the summer as we tend and nurture what
those tiny seeds have become.

But yet, even that most familiar intangible force…
planting a seed in the soil…we have faith, we expect,
and we watch that spot in the dirt…just waiting and
expecting and having faith that any moment we will
see something pop up through the soil and then…
we pretty much take it for granted again.

But, when we actually focus on the miracle of what
these intangible forces produce in our lives…it is
absolutely awesome.

But what about the greatest of all the intangible
forces…the force of our thoughts?  How often do we
consider how powerful they are.  I think before most
of us came to this Master Mind group, we probably took
our thoughts much more for granted than we do now.

To read what Hill explains about the intricacies of
the makeup of the human brain…I can’t really even
begin to fathom that the number of lines that connect
the brain cells with one another equals the figure
one, followed by fifteen million ciphers.

And keep in mind…that was in 1937.  And they even
knew then that all of those nerve cells in our
brains are arranged in definite patterns.  Their
arrangement is NOT haphazard, but orderly.

Hill says that it is inconceivable that such a net
work of intricate machinery should be in existence
for the sole purpose of carrying on the physical
functions incidental to growth and maintenance
of the physical body.

He asks us, “Is it not likely that the same system
which gives billions of brain cells the media for
communication one with another provides also the
means of communication with other intangible forces

I have to admit that question made me feel similarly
to when my husband will point out a beautiful sunset
or a fabulous double rainbow in the sky, or an
awesome bank of clouds during a storm…and when I
realize that I hadn’t even noticed what was right in
front of my face, it’s also the moment that I realize
that so very much passes us by without our even
noticing, understanding, or even making use of what
is right before us all the time.

I usually always respond in those moments by saying
to myself…”I need to look UP more often and see
what I’m missing.”  And in response to Hill’s
question…of course, it is evident to us now that
our brain’s are capable of far more than we use
them for in our everyday lives.

With regard to the intangible force of thought, and
the knowledge that through autosuggestion and the
power of the Master Mind principle that we can indeed
“work with” this intangible force…or let it work
against us.

Just the realization that we can affect this intangible
force of thought at all is amazing.  I think it’s just
one of those little secrets that God planted for us to
find and realize, once again like the little child full
of awe watching the tiny seed grow into a beautiful
flower for Mommy…that no matter our age when we
discover it, the power of our thoughts is not a mistake,
but an amazing opportunity to make life as wonderful as
we want it to be…and let the rest go on by.

Thank you!!
Patti Blevins

Relationship Building Is the Key to Your Network Marketing Success

Hi Sarah here

This article by My Friend and Personal Mentor talks to the same issue I wrote abiut 3 days ago  MLM is NOT a Numbers Game  Please Read This !!!

Relationship Building Is the Key to Your Network Marketing Success
May 29th, 2008
Thursday, May 29th, 2008

By Michael Dlouhy

You need to talk to your front-line leaders regularly. At least every other day. Sometimes it’s 2  or 3 times a day. Make yourself available anytime for 3-way phone calls. Give your team a  system to help them find the people and sponsor them into your business. Make yourself  available.

At our 35th wedding anniversary on June 21st, we had 2 of our front-line Diamonds at the  celebration. And my sponsor My sponsor & his wife flew across the country to attend. Several  others from our group were there. And we had a ball.

Here’s what it’s about.

I have a gentleman in my group, awesome guy, he lives up in Monticello, Florida. On our way  back from a seminar trip to Houston, Texas, I stopped by to see Richard & Cheryl. They have a  big old hickory tree that was leaning towards their home. It got hit by lightning, and it was dead.

They were very concerned it could come down, and it’s a couple thousand dollars to have that  cut down & carted away.

So I got together one day with Linda & our son Matt & a friend, Lynn Rothfuss, from New  Jersey, and we made a day of it. We took a picnic up and we cut the tree down, cut it up,
stacked it up for them.

That builds relationships. We just did that to help them. When’s the last time your upline did something like that for you?

That’s what this business is about - it’s about building relationships. We’ll be in business the rest of our lives with Richard & Cheryl. I’ll be in business the rest of my life with all our top  leaders. It just goes on and on and on.

You’ve got to build it solid. We just sponsored some awesome people down in Puerto Rico,  Nestor & Toni. They’re so excited, they’re going on the MLM Cruise with us. When we come  back, we’ll hang out there for 2 or 3 days and do meetings and build them an empire while we’re  there. They’ll have it started before that, but we’re going to explode that island.

The Mistake That Many Leaders Make People are telling their downlines all the time, “You have to change. You have to get out there  and sell. You have to become this other person that you aren’t right now.”

The truth is, YOU are perfect just like you are. Everybody on your team is perfect just like they  are. They don’t need to change. They don’t need to become a pushy, aggressive salesperson.

Ninety-two per-cent of the world’s population is sales resistant. You don’t like to be sold. You  walk into a store, looking for shoes. You want to look around, pick out what YOU want. You  don’t want some sales clerk coming around, telling you they have a sale on such & such a  shoe. You want to shop & buy what YOU want. Maybe you’ll ask for a clerk, once you’ve decided what you want.

So it’s only about 5% of the people in network marketing who tell the others that they have to change, they have to become this pushy, aggressive salesperson, make a list of your friends & family and go puke all over them, force them into the business.

That Is NOT How To Build Your Business!

My belief is, just target the market and find people who already are looking for the business,  people who already believe in network marketing. Don’t go out and try to build them a dream to  get them in the business.

It’s kind of like religion. Some people believe in God, some don’t. Don’t try to convince the people who don’t believe in God to believe in Him. And don’t try to convince the people who do believe in God to not believe in Him.

Just go talk to the ones who already believe! Talk to the people who already believe, and are  looking. Those people are warriors. Those people are ready to take action. Those people will build an empire. They will build a legacy income for you. Those are the kind of people who will drive 6 hours to your house and cut down a tree for you.

Those are the people you want. Build relationships with those people. Get them into your business, and never, never, never quit building the relationship with them!

All these years in the industry, it’s almost comical to me. I hear so-called heavy hitters talking  about building relationships. But the truth is, they don’t have a relationship with their spouse, they don’t have one with their kids, and they don’t have one with their business partners. They
rattle on about relationships, but they don’t know how to build one.

Bulletproof Your Income!

What if your company went out of business tomorrow? Don’t laugh - it has happened to many,  many people in this business. What would you do? Would you have to start over from scratch?

Well, NOT if you have strong trusting relationships with your people! If you have taken the time and made the effort to build that steel-ribbed “know, like, & trust,” then your people will stick with you. They will follow you to your next company. They will trust in your judgment.

If you haven’t built those relationships, your future is very much in doubt. Why take that chance? Work hard at getting close to every person in your group. That’s a strategy that will pay off for you big-time, whether your current company is around forever or not.
