Employment Research Institute's Chief Executive Officer, A. Harrison Barnes, in a webinar stated that your ability to help people and the degree of help you provide will determine the degree of success you have.
There are some people who become successful because of being in the right place at the right time. Harrison talks of one such person who happened to be one of Google’s first employees. He had been hired by Google before the company even had a business. Eventually, he became incredibly successful because he was working for a company that managed to help hundreds of millions of people.
According to Harrison, in order to achieve success in your career, you need to be in the right place at the right time. You need to be a part of a company that you believe is doing something incredibly important, something that will positively affect the lives of millions of people. It is beneficial to join such companies because these are the companies that are on the verge of, or are, helping people do something in an entirely new way. They will help millions of people and will make a huge difference in how the world functions.
The ultimate is to do something that benefits the lives of millions of people. Your success in your career is going to come in direct proportion to how many people you are able to touch with your work. The more revolutionary what you are doing is, the more people you will touch and the more memorable of a career you will have.
