Dr. Samuel Johnson has an awesome Business Networking Idea.

Here’s your “QuoteAction” of the day:

“If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself left alone; one should keep his friendships in constant repair.”
Author, Dr. Samuel Johnson

Your action for today is to invite one of your acquaintances to lunch.

Oh my Goodness!  This is such a great action item for business networking.  I always to try take at least one person to lunch every week!  If you are about improving your networking skills, then this action item is very easy.  Pick a potential client, business partner or even a vendor and invite them out to lunch.  Usually I try to schedule 2 or 3 lunches with people who are in my network and sometimes I even will put together several people who I think should know each other and head out to an easy luck time networking event! You never know what can happen at these simple lunches but I can tell you since you have to eat anyways, why not network while eating that sandwich?  Something else you might consider is connecting with someone in your area you are connected to on Facebook or linkedIn.  Just this morning I saw that one of my Facebook friends is here taping a new show for her company and when I saw it on her page, I shot her an email and now we will meet in person in about an hour!!  Invite someone to lunch at least once a week! If we are not connected on Facebook, I would love to see you there!  Maybe we can even go to lunch?  Casey on Facebook here.

Just do it! Really? This is my QuoteAction of the Day? Yep.

Here’s your “QuoteAction” of the day:

“Determination and perseverance move the world; thinking that others will do it for you is a sure way to fail.”
Educator, Marva Collins

Your action for today is to see if you are waiting for someone else to do something for you, and then do it yourself instead.

I was just thinking about this and I would love your feedback.  Let me know what you come up with.

Have an extraordinary day!

Give someone an AWESOME day!!

 

Wealth is Health? By Ancient Roman Poet, Virgil

Here’s your “QuoteAction” of the day:

“The greatest wealth is health.”
Ancient Roman Poet, Virgil

Your action for today is to think of one thing you can do to improve your health and start doing it.

This is very interesting.  Just this morning before I even read this quote, I was trying to see what I could do to increase my health. I recommitted this morning to go for a 5 mile walk at least 3 times a week.  I know it is not much but it is a small step in the right direction.  The other thing I have started doing and it has been really easy even though I thought it would be hard is to drink 100 oz. of water every day.  I have a shaker for protein shakes that is 25 oz and it has been pretty easy to fill it 4 times a day while I am sitting at the computer sipping away.  If you are in a network marketing company that has a healthy product, please feel free to leave a comment with a link to your site plus a little description.  I have been using an awesome product that has been great for me to increase my health.  I have had over  72 people join me on a quest to better health by buying a canister of this cool superfood.  If  you would be interested in having a further conversation about this superfood, watch the videos and add you name to the waiting list.  I will give you a shout only if  you are on the waiting list. No hassles.  Check it out here.

Opportunities Multiply as they are Seized!

Here’s your “QuoteAction” of the day:

“When the wind rises, some people build walls, others build windmills.”
Chinese Proverb

Your action for today is to take a current situation that is challenging and look for the opportunity it presents for you.

I hope you will take this one to heart!  I will say that whenever I am out at a networking event, one of the things I try my hardest to do is finding an opportunity for someone I have just met.  I actually make it a little bit of a game to see if I can create some sort of win for someone that is in the room.  I would love your thoughts on this one, so if you have come up with an opportunity out of something that has beed difficult, please leave a comment.

As an aside, I just want you to know how much I value you as a reader of my blog.  Thank you form the bottom of my little networking heart!!

Have an extraordinary day!

Give someone an AWESOME day!!

 

Lose your fear of being wrong says, Joseph Chilton Pearce!

“To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”
Author, Joseph Chilton Pearce

Your action for today is to see if you can do something to tackle one of your fears.

This is a very interesting quote today as most people come to me to get over a very specific fear and that is the fear of networking.  Most of the business people I talk to are so afraid of being wrong when it comes to networking that they would rather just not attend any mixers or such just on the off chance they would do something wrong.  The funny part is, how do you do something wrong when in fact there are not a ton of rules?  We will talk more about some of the “right” things you can be doing at networking events over the next few weeks.  If you keep in mind that your purpose when networking is to bring value and content to your network, I think you will feel less “wrong”  Go have an awesome fun day of networking with some new people and forget about the rules for a few minutes.  See if you can add some value to someone’s conversation.

Networking Nugget by Casey Eberhart

<<Networking Nugget>> Pay 2 random people whom you have never met before a compliment. Could be on the phone or in live. You never know what kind of friend you could make or what opportunity may be created.

This is a practice that I have been doing forever!  It is so important that you make people feel good.  You never know how your small little compliment might just turn into a conversation and worse case, you are cool, best case they become a friend, spouse or client.

One of the things I almost always compliment people on is a piece of jewelry  because in most cases it comes with a story.  I love hearing stories about something that means something to the person.  I would love to know if you actually take me up on this little nugget and what the response was.

Give someone an AWESOME day!!
