4 Tips to Networking Your Way to Success at Holiday Parties

Hello Everyone:

Don’t you just love the holidays. It’s the most festive time of the year with lots of parties. This is the best time to network and meet prospective clients, form partnerships and continue to build your tribe. The reality is the action that one takes after the event that will propel your business to the next level.

4 Tips to Network your Way to Success and Further Grow your Business.

1) The Follow Up

It’s what one does after the holiday parties and networking events that makes all the difference. Take the first step and send out that email or facebook message. Why wait for others to contact you? This will further increase rapport building and demonstrate an interest. You will be surprised at the response you get.

2) Referral Source

Being a resource is key. People connect with those who love to help and give back. It’s the law of reciprocity. By providing information, and referring others you build credibility and also become memorable.

3) Leave the Scarcity Mindset at Home

Some people come from a place that is a lack of abundance and scarcity. They will only give business cards away or talk to people that they deem appropriate for for their services. Why close yourself to opportunities?

4) Being receptive and open to meeting others

Sometimes we all get comfortable by going to parties with a friend and just talk to them all night. It can be uncomfortable approaching a stranger, however a simple smile or a hello will do fine. How do I know this? Well, I am an introvert and do not like to be in group settings. So, I am finally out of the closet with this information. To conquer my fears, I go to networking events alone to practice and get more comfortable in large group settings. It is all about facing one’s fear and stepping into your own power.

Share with us- What are some of your networking techniques that you use at holiday parties and networking events to generate more leads.

Happy Blogging!

Landing an Interview with Celebrities like Kathleen Gage

Hello Everyone:

It is not everyday that one gets an interview up close and personal with Kathleen Gage. This is my first celebrity interview. You might be wondering how was I able to land such an opportunity with a marketing powerhouse like Kathleen Gage. Here are some tips on landing interviews with experts. If I can do it, so can you.

1) Do your Research

Started to follow Kathleen Gage by signing up for her teleseminars and getting to learn more about her. My specialty is marketing and sales. Inorder to continue to increase my knowledge base, both to grow personally and professionally one needs to further their education. Follow the experts in your area of specialty and target niche.

2) Attend Live Events and Conferences

Last May, attended the Radiant Success Event and that’s how I met Kathleen in person. Great opportunity to connect with not only like minded individuals, but the experts, speakers, and potential joint venture partners as well. Lot’s of visibility at these functions. What better way to seal the deal than in person.

3) What do you do after an event

Keep in touch with the people you meet. Half the time we acquire so many business cards and hardly ever follow through. Communication is key. With social media, and advanced technology in the 21st century there is simply no reason why you should not be keeping in touch with your prospects and clients. It’s not like the days of the pony express.

Surrendering to a Conscious Way of Life

Kathleen Gage

I grew up in a typical middle-class home: loving parents, the youngest of three girls, a solid religious foundation, never wanting for the necessities while enjoying a comfortable life. In spite of this, I made choices that placed me in turmoil, drifting from day to day with no clear purpose, having nowhere to call home, all the while mastering the art of being unemployable.
By my 25th year I hit the lowest point imaginable. Not sure how this happened, I was quick to blame everyone but myself for the lack to which I became accustomed. I was abusing various substances to ease the pain, yet the more I attempted to escape, the greater the pain got.
My daily mantra was, “God, not another day.”
So, how did I go from this life of desperation to one in which I am blessed to do what I love, enjoying amazing abundance in all areas of my life, including clarity of mind and spirit?
I learned how to tap into an incredible source of energy that took me from a well-seasoned underachiever to an extremely high achiever.
This didn’t happen overnight. Nor did it happen without a few bumps in the road; some minor, some major.
Having come from a place of complete lack, with ever-increasing success (or what I thought success should be) I experienced something I never imagined. I became fearful of losing everything only to return to a life of desperation.
The greater the fear, the harder I pushed for success. At one point that meant getting as many awards and recognitions possible. Yet nothing would fill the secret hole I felt in my gut.

4 Tips to Find or Start a Mastermind Group

Hello Everyone:

Received so much feedback from my readers on how to join or find the right mastermind group that I wanted to write a follow up blog post. Thank you for your questions. I appreciate all your feedback and support.

How does one find the right mastermind group? Here is more information to guide you in making this big step that will help grow your business. I realized there are many people that have already participated in mastermind groups and may not have had such a great experience. While there are those who are trying to find a group that will have fair balance and create great alliances. Many are already in successful mastermind groups and reaping the rewards. Being in a mastermind group is like being in a collective- the sharing of information, knowledge, experiences and taking action. This will grow your business exponentially. All members are supportive and hold each other accountable for their actions.

Here are the four things to look for when shopping for a mastermind group. You can also use these principals to start your own mastermind group.

1) All parties involved must have a vested interest in each members growth and development. If people are joining just to get information for themselves and not reciprocating then this defeats the purpose of a mastermind group.

2) Same level group members. Do not mean to be so selective, but here is the reason why. If there are 6 members in a mastermind group. One is an expert with 10 years in business and the other five members comprise of experiences ranging from 0- 2 years. Yes, all the members from 0-2 years benefit greatly from input and feedback coming from the 10 year veteran. What benefits is the 10 year veteran getting out of being in this group? After a while they feel like they are not getting a return with time and energy invested and they leave. Be selective- Have a good balance with the level of expertise in your group so together everyone learns and benefits from one another.

3) Diversity is key! The purpose of a mastermind mind group is to have a group of like minded individuals with the same mission to succeed and their grow their business. Participants should not be competitors. With Business Networking (BNI) group each member is from a different specialty and they are not in competiiton with one another.The same should go for your group. For example- there are the 6 members in one mastermind group; an internet marketer, business coach, speaker, massage therapist, chiropractor, and a writer. Take it a step further each one has unique skills like marketing, selling, blogging, joint venturing, teaching, etc… Imagine how powerful this mastermind group is and what each member’s business will evolve within the next month. Powerful stuff!

4) Committment- I am not asking you to marry me! This means that you show up and be present for your regularly scheduled meeting, participate and follow through.

Remember it takes 5 fingers to move a hand. It’s not about how much toys and stuff you acquire in life, but the adventure of meeting others and helping everyone getting to the mountain top. See you all at the top.

We love to hear your experiences and what you got out of your mastermind group.

Happy Blogging!

What is your Legacy?

Hello Everyone:

One of my girlfriend’s father had passed away at the ripe age of 81. While attending the funeral, the whole room was packed with relatives, friends and others. He was a highly respected individual. What an amazing life he had lived. To be loved and cherished by so many. His children spoke about how they remember what it was like growing up with him.

Not often do we think about death unless someone we know personally has passed on. What do you want to be remembered for? Do not want to be so morbid. The reality is life is short. No one knows when they expire for some it is a ripe old age while others are taken at a very young age. How do you want others to remember you by?

What is your legacy?

5 Benefits of Joining a Mastermind Group

Hello Everyone:

I always look forward to participating in my mastermind group. Some of you are wondering what exactly is a mastermind?

The concept of Mastermind Group came from Napolean Hill and his book titled “Think & Grow Rich”.

The “Master Mind” may be defined as: “coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.”

Here are 5 reasons why you should join a mastermind group. Thinking of starting or forming one? Why not! There are so many benefits and advantages to being part of a mastermind group.

1) Group of like minded individuals with the same mission to succeed and their grow their business.

2) Supportive environment that meets on a regular consistant basis. Talk about a confidential, non-judgemental and a safe environment.

3) The group holds you accountable when you share your aspirations and provide updates of your progress from the last meeting. Talk about taking action!

4) The information exchanged from each of the members is simply priceless. Each member is as unique and diverse as the next member with their special talents and capabilities. In our group, some of the skills that are shared and disclosed are blogging, coaching, internet marketing, law of attraction, online & offline business, sales, speaking, teaching, and so much more. Each member can be at different levels of their business from novice, newbie, intermediate to expert. We all learn from one another.

5) The synergy that is held within the container. Everyone is united for the purpose of sharing and assisting one another to reach new heights in their success. It is simply amazing with the results seen down the road from one meeting to the next.

Have I convince you of the benefits of participating and joining a mastermind group. Mastermind groups are the latest buzz word everywhere you look. There are groups forming as we speak, and they are very easy to set up.
