Here is my latest blog post for the Networking Nugget series. I hope you enjoy, it is all about helping you develop a great network of people to assist you in taking your business to the next level! Have an awesome day!!
<<Networking Nugget>> Today is a bit harder than most. Today, call your auto insurance agent and schedule a lunch or coffee with them. Here is the deal. Bottom line, they by nature of what the sell, know everyone in the community. During the meeting you are just getting to know them. NO SELLING. During the meeting you should try to find out who would make a great referral for them.
This is really an important one! If you are going to build a huge network of professionals that we can leverage out, we need to start by networking with the people in the community that already have large networks of professionals. This would work as well for the person who deals with your health insurance or even your local Realtor. The point here is to start looking at tips and tools to get you in front of the people we need to see, rather than a cold call, it would be much easier to have someone else make the introduction. Remember these folks are usually pretty dang good networkers in the first place and heck you may even pick up a tip or 3!!
I started a fan page on Facebook for these Networking Nuggets, at this time it is so new there is not even a picture yet! I would be honored if you would “like” the page. If you click to join it will open a new window so as to not disturb you from your internet surfing. www.Facebook.com/NetworkingNuggets Enjoy!!
“For peace of mind, resign as general manager of the universe.”

Your action for today is to see if you are trying to control someone’s behavior and let go instead.
If you are trying to control other people you will soon find out it is nothing more than the kiss of death in the business world. My blog is dedicated to helping people build their business network filled with professionals and when you try to concern yourself with everyone else, it usually comes back to bite you in the butt. By the way, you have permission to also consider giving up total control over yourself as well. I used to get all upset at myself if I did not finish every last item on my to-do list but at the same time when I would just let myself putter all day I would get way more dome because the pressure was off. I am now way more productive when I give up the control over myself. Give it a try, you may just end up getting a ton of stuff done!
“The greatest mistake a person can make is to be afraid of one.”
Writer and Philosopher, Elbert Hubbard
Your action for today is to take a chance on doing something big without worrying if it might be a mistake.
This is such a great quote for a Friday! This quote can have so many meanings it isn’t even funny! I am sitting here at my desk contemplating a new stock to add to my portfolio and after I read this it is apparent to me that it really wants to be a part of the portfolio and I have been too afraid to pull the trigger. I hope you will do something big without worrying and then let all of us know what the results were. I will also be heading out to several new business networking events over the next week and I am looking forward to meeting some new business professionals. May seem like no big deal but going and seeking out new places to meet people is kinda a big deal for a lot of people so I thought I would mention it.
Today is all about getting to know someone new. The advanced Nugget is to add more people to the lunch. I might add that Shane added in YouTube to only ask questions and you are not really allowed to talk during the lunch. I love that because it is all about the other person and seeing if you can support them in their business. I would love your comments.
Give some new stranger an AWESOME day and invite them to lunch!!
<<Networking Nugget>> Using whatever means you have (facebook, email, phone) find someone who is in network marketing and purchase a product from them. Usually they have huge networks of people and trust me when I tell you, they will be happy to A. Get the business and B. Put you in the “cool” category. People ask me all the time how I have a big network and it starts by working with peers who have big networks.
This may just be the best Nugget so far! If you are already in a network marketing company, I would love for you to leave a comment here so people can find you! I live my life by buying products from network marketers all the time! Look, I know there is a high probability the person will try to recruit you and thats o.k., remember we are building a network! I have made a full time income for the last 2 years in network marketing and I can tell you, it has produced some of my very best friends and I meet new people every sniffle day! If you really think about it , you can do so much of your shopping from people who run their business from home. For example, I have not washed my clothes in anything but Amway’s laundry detergent. I do not sell Amway but I sure have friends who do. You can literally buy almost anything from network marketing companies and you will get better products than you can in a store while supporting your peers. Now, please do not mis read this nugget, you do not join every company, but by buying products from people in a company, you will be doing a lot towards building that network of yours!
Give a Network Marketer an AWESOME day!!
