Your life is a learning process - you can only become wiser from learning. Sometimes you might have to attract making a painful mistake to learn something important, but after the mistake you have far greater wisdom. Wisdom cannot be bought with money - it can only be acquired through living life. With wisdom comes: strength, courage, knowing, and an ever-increasing peace.
May the joy be with you, Rhonda Byrne
Strategy
If you had unlimited time, energy and resources, you could network
everywhere ALL the time!. But we have finite amounts of time, energy and resources, so you need to be strategic in what you do and about networking. Plan: What you want to do, where to go, who to meet and time, this last investment is most important as you use a high percentage building relationships
You do not need to take valuable time in creating a written plan! Check your thoughts on: Does your schedule dictate when you can work? do you need specific time for an event and who are you targeting? IF you can answer all of these questions answers will follow.
Events
Where two or more people actively meet, to create develope and expand relationships and can be trade shows, receptions, lunches and even one on one coffee meetings. Imagine if you had a meeting one a week with just one person that could be a potential 52 new contacts a year!
Plan Where to go
Finding networking opportunities takes time, planning and research, once you seek a venue research it via the members or host and learn more about the meeting. There are several ways to seek network marketing meetings; The web b y putting in “Breakfast meetings” or “Business Clubs”“Chamber of Commerce” the list is endless.
Like Minded People
The idea is to make networking enjoyable and of course productive with like minded people, who are there to build relationships thus making the event easier and relaxing. This can only happen if you find out about the venue first and talk with a committee member, relationships start from that point!
The other thing to consider is the cost of the venue, some are free, those that cost do provide food of some level. This you must consider but usually they are worth it. Free event are a good start, as the worry of expenditure is reduced, so you can leave at anytime if it is not for you, the only thing you would have lost is a little time. Then build on this with fee paying opportunities and your confidence will grow.
Paid networking does how ever offer a better return as these people are more likely to invest in themselves and are a more specific group of people.
The next level of people are going to be the “Tough To Reach Level” meaning more time and more money. These VIP level of contacts do meet a few network marketers along the way and set up barriers to reduce the approach level as they do get a lot of pitches due to their positions in industry.
The next will be “The Greeting”
Anyone can quit when the going is hard, but a thoroughbred never quits until he wins.
The going is always hard on the road to greatness. If success were easy, everyone would achieve it. NFL All-Pro lineman Brian Holloway recalled that when he was playing for the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Raiders, there wasn’t a single day when he didn’t feel like giving up because the road was too tough and the sacrifices were too great. He didn’t quit, of course; he was willing to pay the price because he was determined to succeed. True thoroughbreds never quit. Competition only spurs them, and obstacles merely reinforce their determination to succeed. If you have not yet achieved greatness in your life, it is because you have been willing to settle for less. You may not cross the finish line first every time you try, but if you stay in the race, you will eventually prevail. Napoleon Hill
