Who in your\u00a0Circle of Influence is an Influencer for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"#IanCalvert<\/a> Following on from my page on Influencers<\/a>, my\u00a0original blog (26th November 2013<\/a>\u00a0and previous Influencer Lists<\/a>, I have updated my list for 2016 with some additions and omissions based on the people who actually have made a difference, inspired and actually helped myself during 2015. I have to say that during the second half of 2015, there was a huge swing in direction of people who I could truly call influencers.<\/p>\n

Thus, this list are the ones that been there in many ways and truly helped to shape the way 2016 maps out for myself. So, the behaviour of some that were included previously and were going to be included, were excluded from this list due to how the bigger picture became apparent and they did not fit in to what I could hand on heart call an\u00a0influencer\u00a0that I could recommend to others. This may change and they may reappear, but at present, this is a list of people I know will influence and benefit you and your business….<\/p>\n

And here using the same reasons for me producing this list and why, plus, I know it is \u00a0something that I will be re-visiting as – in my personal opinion – influencers come and go but are they still influencers?<\/em><\/p>\n

Well if they are still there to talk to me or they contact me to see how I am doing, then, YES, they will still be on my list when I next update…….<\/p>\n

Well, yes they are – why?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s simple, come and go<\/em><\/strong> has many meanings and does create windows of interaction that can be consistent or frequently. Thus, I keep coming back to the same statement….<\/p>\n

Take\u00a0your car garage – you may go once a year and when you are there, it is great, but what happens on the other 364 days a year? You can’t say they are amazing because you aren’t there every day but you can speak about the day you use them! The service you get when you use them, gives you the reason to share that experience with other people and thus, you are referring due to the way they either ASSISTED, ENGAGED, INFLUENCED, INSPIRED you<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The same applies here…..<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

People I regard as influencers, are one’s that impact on myself and how they focus, assist or help myself, in some cases, these can be a daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly.<\/p>\n

Yet, in each and every way we interact – for me personally<\/em> – it is educational, engaging, influencing, inspiring and most importantly, these people help me focus.<\/p>\n

So, to understand the factors that I used to create this list, just click here<\/a>\u00a0for a recap\u00a0to find out all the bits behind why I feel they should be on my\u00a0list……..<\/p>\n
