From Dan Rockwell's Blog
Give trust to become trustworthy. The first stage of influence is trust others.
Become credible not just smart. Credibility comes with high levels of competency and depth of knowledge.
Be intentional in your influence. Influence is a mix of purposeful action and virtuous character.
Break through your walls of self-preservation. Abandon self-preservation for service.
Pursue relationship before opportunity. Influencers establish authentic relationships that exceed any financial or personal opportunity.
Give yourself away. Give for the benefit of others and work to meet their needs instead of your own every day. Giving is not about losing something; it’s about putting yourself out in the universe for the benefit of all.
Become significant in your impact. To have influence you must be willing to be influenced. Make a list of those who have enriched your life. Follow their example.
