Kaneko Ikeda has the right idea about smiling!

Here’s your “QuoteAction” of the day:

“I smile as a cause not as an effect”
Author, Kaneko Ikeda

Your action for today is to make an effort to remember to smile as you go through your day.

Have an extraordinary day!

Give someone an AWESOME day!!

This is such good advice!  One thing that totally helped me stay inside a positive state throughout the day before it became a habit was to carry a simple green rock in my pocket that simply says “Smile”. I know it is really high tech but seriously, if you are going to be out in the world drumming up business, people would much rather deal with someone in a positive up beat mood. I also always try to smile as I am dialing a person on the phone event though they can’t see me with their eyes, my mood comes through on the phone and is usually met with a like mood on the other end of the phone.  Smile Smile Smile!

Give Yourself 5 Minutes Today to Daydream!

Here’s your “QuoteAction” of the day:

“Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”
Physicist, Albert Einstein

Your action for today is to set aside five minutes to daydream and use your imagination.

One of the things I do that helps me stay on track with my dreams and the goofy stuff that comes up when I am daydreaming is to write what comes up for me down in a business journal.  Some people may use vision boards and others may use nothing, thats o.k. so along as you are spending a few minutes each day really looking back to dreaming like when we were kids.  I remember always loving going on boats, so as one of the things I do to daydream is subscribe to several boating magazines.  I love flipping through the pages and visualizing that boat.  It helps to keep me on point.  I would love to hear what comes up for you as you are daydreaming right now.  Leave a comment if something really cool comes up.

Have an extraordinary day!

Give someone an AWESOME day!!

Call your top prospect or potential client and ask them who is their dream referral. Your job today is to see if you can connect them expecting nothing in return. Ask if anyone in  your social network might know this person.

One of the things that can and will make you an Ideal Networker is that you are seen as someone who is constantly looking for ways to add value and content into your existing and potential network.  One of the absolute easiest ways to bring value to someone is to help connect them with some one or thing they desire.  With the ease of social media now-a-days it is easier than ever to connect people.  Usually when I meet someone I am asking tons of questions about who would make a good client or prospect for them.  Once I find out, I aim to prove my value to them BEFORE ever asking them for a sale or time to show them what I do. The easiest way I have found is to simply go to my Facebook page or my LinkedIn Page and see if I or anyone I know is connected to the person.  If I can find the person I am looking for I simply call and introduce myself and explain the situation.  The best part is now I am connecting without the person even before I make the introduction.  I might even ask that person who would make their dream referral……. You never know who you know or who they know.  Always add value to your network.

Today’s Business Action Item comes from Christopher Morley.

Networking Nugget: Only give business cards to people that you want to have them send you tons of email. If not, DON”T give them a card. My answer is to not take cards to an event. I am there to listen and get to know someone else.

Be a professional listener and you will get much further in your business.

It is Sunday, Spend 5 minutes sometime today pulling 1 business card of someone you met last week. Now post something on Facebook about them OR see if you can create a referral for them.

Every time I try to generate a referral for someone it always seems to open up another opportunity for me in some capacity. When you really believe that “Givers Gain” philosophy there is something that happens.  Maybe it is Karma?  Maybe it is just luck? Maybe, just maybe it has you in work mode and when we are in concentrated work mode stuff seems to just fall in our laps.

I would love to know what your thoughts are.  How did you help someone today?
