A recent article by Ryan Holmes (Twitter @invoker) in Inc. Magazine “The 4-Word Question All Highly Successful People Ask” emphasized the power of asking “How can I help?” and went on to explain that this simple phrase, and the genuine willingness to help others, might be the ultimate networking tool.

This is a thought provoking read and a perspective, if adopted, will improve potential for long term success. As Ryan points out, “I truly believe that helping other people sets you up for cosmic success at some level, whether that’s in business or in everyday life (in fact, the less distinction you make between the two, the better). What goes around almost inevitably comes around.”

As I contemplated the post a bit more, I thought about “how can I help” beyond the scope of the post and wondered if we posed the the question to ourselves in our daily lives? Truly, it is easy to take small actions that may truly help others while also helping ourselves. Consider:

1 – Take Ryan Holmes message to heart, and find ways to help others!
2 – Be optimistic.

In my personal and professional lives, I am always on the quest to identify productivity tools in order to leverage for effectiveness in my day to day life. The goal is to be “touching and feeling” as much as possible which then increases awareness. If you follow me on Twitter @BTomoffCPA you will note a few hashtags for my passion…#EliminateTheFriction and #AwarenessIsLeverage. I Love to help others learn, develop and increase awareness!

In the last 2 years, Evernote has evolved to my favorite productivity tool, so much value to me that I upgraded from the free model to premium for $49.99 per year! PC Magazine gave Evernote an “Excellent” rating and it remains an Editors’ Choice productivity tool. Simply described, Evernote is “one workspace” to write, collect, and discuss / collaborate information with others. The incredible efficiency aspect is to think of “anything, anywhere, anytime” which means information you need is truly at your disposal whether in your computer or when you are out and about with your mobile device tablet or smartphone!

To dig into further information on Evernote, @DTomoffCPA and I have collaborated on a Flipboard Magazine titled Evernote Training!
Take a huge step in 2016 and embrace the power of Evernote. Indeed, #EliminateTheFriction…and enjoy having anything, anywhere, at anytime!
