Networking Nugget by Casey Eberhart

<<Networking Nugget>> Today we will be talking JAIL!  If you were picked up and taken to jail, who in your cell phone would you call if you were given 3 calls?  Your nugget for the day is to call each one and just let them know that they are your “bail your ass out of jail” person. Two things will happen, you will find out if they are up for the challenge AND you will have a good chuckle.

I actually love this Nugget!  This is such a fun one to do, I had a fun time today giving my 3 a call.  The results were great and I found myself catching up with an old friend about his family.  If you take me up on this Nugget trust me when I tell you this will at the very least get you into several great conversations.  If you want to take it to the next level then call your “Jail” friends that are in other parts of the country.  I actually called a friend up in Seattle just to let him know if I was caught in a bad situation up in the Pacific Northwest, that he would be it!!  I would love to hear about you results with this Nugget.

Give your close friends an AWESOME day!!

 

Willam George Plunkett talks about opportunity in today’s Business Quote Action.

Here’s your “QuoteAction” of the day:

“Three things that never come back: the spent arrow; the spoken word; the lost opportunity.”
Printer, Willam George Plunkett

Your action for today is to make one phone call to help set in motion an opportunity you’ve wanted to explore.

I could write an entire paper on this topic but I am going to be too busy making calls!  Since I am a public speaker, I will be making several phone calls to people who have heard me before and have expressed an interest in having their groups know how to better network and generate leads for the member’s businesses.  I truly believe that most people walk right on over so many opportunities that they could have turned into something special.  I gotta go make some calls!

Have an extraordinary day!

Give someone an AWESOME day!!

Networking Nugget by Casey Eberhart

<<Networking Nugget>> Today should be easy. Look at your desk right now. Surely you have 5 business cards laying around on top. They are just lingering, so let’s fix that! Your nugget is to either throw them in the trash OR send them a quick email letting them know you will be in touch with them in the next week or so. Better an email than let them set for too long.

O.K. I admit I had many more than 5 business cards on my desk when I wrote this, but not any more!  Here is the deal, If you are just storing cards on your desk as a form of procrastination, that’s O.K. so long as you understand these will NEVER turn into full blown business relationships without you doing any work.  It might even help if you take a couple of minutes while facebooking today and separate the cards into stacks by importance.  Just letting the cards stack up only let’s us feel like we are or have been busy but it moves us nowhere closer to adding the person to our network.  I promise it will feel quite liberating when you are able to free yourself of a few cards or even better yet, taking a step towards adding them to your network.

I would like to take a second to say Thank You for being a reader of TheIdealNetworker and many thanks if you have shared one of these <<NetworkingNuggets>> with Facebook.

Give someone an AWESOME day!!

Sandra Gallagher is quite profound with today’s Quote Action!

Here’s your “QuoteAction” of the day:

Have an extraordinary day!

Give someone an AWESOME day!!

 

Networking Nugget by Casey Eberhart

<<Networking Nugget>> Today, very easy and can have some big effects. While you are out and about today, your nugget is to reach your hand out and meet one new person. It will count when there is a handshake and you know their first name. This gets us out in the world and looking for opportunities to meet new people.

This is one of those things that once you get in the habit of doing, it almost becomes second nature.  I was having lunch with a friend a few days ago and as we were walking to our cars she told me that I had created an opening for her business.  I was like, “huh”. She went on to explain that since we had walked into the restaurant she had noticed that I had introduced myself to the Hostess, the Chef, the Server as well as one of the patrons that ended up needing a bit of help keeping the door opened.  I did not even notice because it is a habit for me to introduce myself to as many people as possible. Now, the funny thing, I did not talk about my business at all at luck with any of the people I had just met only because the subject never came up, but I eat there a few times a month and now when I go in, I will be able to start a conversation with my new “friends”. I hope you will get in the habit of extending your hand to someone new everyday.  If you get something out of this Nugget, would you please share it using the Facebook button in the upper right corner?  Also, if you would like a little FREE publicity you can head over to my “Success Spotlight” and add yourself to the community on my website.  I would be honored to have you there.  Visit the Spotlight by heading over to CaseyEberhart.com

What is one of your gifts?

Here’s your “QuoteAction” of the day:

“Everyone is gifted – but some people never open their package.”
An Anonymous Author

Your action for today is to reflect on what are a few of your gifts and be mindful of using one of them.

I feel that one of my best gifts to other’s is my way of being.  I know this sounds a bit nutty but I try really hard to be 100% genuine with people in every situation.  You are given many different gifts in life and I hope you are using as many as you can to better the world and the people around you.

Have an extraordinary day!

Give someone an AWESOME day!!

One thing I’ve learned in our profession is Stories Sell – Facts Tell – which is why I call myself “The Paid Storyteller”. We get paid to tell stories! My husband tells me I finally found a way to get paid to talk!

I’m a mother of 6 children with a husband that travels 4 days a week. I was determined to find a way to make a significant income from home. My background was owning a traditional business & loved it when I discovered network marketing and found a way to create residual income and leverage my time from home! I like to call it “income without overhead”.

Who doesn’t want some extra energy, lose a few pounds, or create another income stream? Almost everyone needs one or more of those! I learned years ago people do what they want NOT what they need! People want energy & they WANT to lose a few pounds. I like to take the path of least resistance when building a business- give people what they WANT. They get results in a couple days – what do they do? Share it and refer others!

I love this profession because where else do you WANT others to be better than you? I have a passion to work with people and let them know there ARE options out there and they can achieve their dreams and their goals! How?

Tell stories!!
