What is it about a brand New Year?

Hello Everyone

Just a note of grattitude for your support and wishing you all a Happy New Year 2011. What is it about a brand New Year?

The power of new beginnings

Set the intention and take daily action to move closer to your targeted goal or dream. Daily consistent activity for 21 days becomes a habit. There are many 30 day challenges to get you in motion and set the tone.

A Clean SlateA New Year gives us a sense of starting fresh. It is so invigorating to begin new projects, activities and launches. Nothing is holding you back and anything is possible. Take the first step and dive right in.

Resolution (Plan)One thing that I am not too crazy about is the term resolution. What is your New Year resolution? When people are asked this question, replies includes to lose 10 pounds, go to the gym, exercise more, etc… I get the sense that people just want to resolve something. Like that carpet cleaning commercial Resolve (Taking out spots and stains). It is an on going process to lose weight and then to maintain the momentum. Do you actually have the motivation and interest to go to a gym or even exercise? Studies have shown that new year’s resolutions only last for about a week and the rest is history. The term that I prefer to use is PLAN inorder to ensure success. Stayed tune to my next blog post on planning.

Happy Blogging.

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!

Thanksgiving 4 Day Weekend

Hello Everyone:

Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving and finally recovering from the four day weekend. Spent most of the weekend coming up with interesting recipes of what to do with the turkey leftovers. Thank goodness it was not a lot. For those of you who watch iron chef, trying to come up with entrees for turkey is much easier than figuring out how to use turkey for a dessert dish. Anyone who has a recipe for a dessert with turkey, drop me a line.

Just love the holidays. This is such a great time to celebrate the spirit of giving. To reflect on what we are grateful for with our family and friends. What is it about grattiude? We become so much more appreciate of what we have and not focus on the things we do not have.

So, what are you grateful for?

Enjoy!
