In my Rich Habits Study, 72% of the wealthy volunteered five hours or more every month.
Volunteering is all about building relationships with other successful or success-minded people.
If you think about it, it makes sense. Most of the people on the board of directors of local community non-profits are the most successful people in the community, or high achievers who are still pursuing success.
Volunteering gives you an opportunity to work closely with the members of the board, as well as the committee members. This allows you to showcase your skills in a very forgiving environment.
As they get to know you and your abilities, these relationships will eventually morph into business relationships. People like doing business with individuals they like, trust and know.
The relationships you forge volunteering will help open doors for you and for the members of your family. They will also expose you to opportunities that will enhance your career or your business.
