Only last Thursday, I was presenting a pre-event workshop to 32 attendees of next week’s #MeetTheMedia in Perth, when I forgot one of the three key elements of being successful in media.
It wasn’t because I haven’t said it almost every day that I’ve been working as a connector of experts and media in this country. It sincerely rolls off the tongue like it’s second nature to me because it’s what I believe in. How then did I go blank as to what one of the three key elements is to be successful in media?
How did I miss what I’ve preached for the last seven years when talking to these 32 businesses and brands? I missed it because I was living that element in my presentation and workshop that the third element represents.
The three elements of being successful in media:
The reason I missed and couldn’t for the life of me remember this element of my daily mantra was because I was already talking to 32 individuals that wanted to do it. The attendees at the workshop were learning how to be the best communicators they possibly could be.
They wanted to do it. And that may be the most important element of media success. Being good at it can be learned, being available can be arranged, but wanting to do it is a personal attitude that cannot be learned or arranged.
Get these three things right and you will be successful in media.
