Jerry Colangelo says Be A Sponge in today’s Quote Action!

Here’s your “QuoteAction” of the day:

“Be a sponge. Spend as much time as possible with people who truly know their craft and be a great listener. That is how you learn.”
Entrepreneur, Jerry Colangelo

Your action for today is to identify one person you can learn something from and make an appointment to go see them.

O.K. I admit, this picture had me laughing for a few minuter but the message is spot on!  One of the things that really helps to build a great network of people is to learn from your peers.  I have a list, an actual list, that has all of the people I would like to meet and get to know.  One of the habits I got into early on was to always be looking for opportunities to get to know the movers and shakers by taking them to lunch.  Think about this, how would you feel if someone called you and asked to take you to lunch just to get to know you? I am always looking for ways to enhance the people I know so when I take someone to lunch I am looking at it from a point of view on how I can support them in their business. I try not to make it about me at all but rather the give first way of thinking.

I hope you will make your  own list of the people you would like to get to know and invite at least one of them to lunch.

Give someone you want to meet an AWESOME day by inviting them to lunch!!

Have an extraordinary day!

Give someone an AWESOME day!!

30 minutes of what? Here is your Quote Action for the day.

Here’s your “QuoteAction” of the day:

“What we do during our working hours determines what we have; what we do in our leisure hours determines what we are.”
Entrepreneur, George Eastman

Your action for today is to devote at least 30 minutes to a leisure activity.

It is so important that we have some fun in our lives.  This is a great reminder that we all need to take a bit out out of the hectic day to day and at least have a bit of fun.  I thought this image was kind of interesting.

Have an extraordinary day!

Give someone an AWESOME day!!

 

Quote Action by Florence Nightingale says No EXCUSES!

Here’s your “QuoteAction” of the day:

“I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took any excuse.”
Nurse and Writer, Florence Nightingale

Your action for today is to pay attention to how many excuses you use or hear others use during the day.

This is so potent as our language is so important.  I started to pay close attention to the words I was using and realized that I use to allow myself to keep myself from being boxed into any commitment.  When you are out networking or just hanging around other people, if you start to pay very close attention, you will start to hear so many excuses.  Even though it seems easy enough to just do what you say you are going to do, it is very easy to allow yourself off the hook.  I started working with a business coach and one of the main things she is on me about is making sure that I stay to my word no matter what.  When I am actually listening for excuses from people it helps me not make them just because they all start to sound a bit silly.  Try just going into a meeting or networking event and pay close attention to how often people give excuses for everything and then next time try yourself to NOT give a single excuse.  You will sound completely different. Posture is everything!!

Have an extraordinary day!

Give someone an AWESOME day!

“Three things that never come back: the spent arrow; the spoken word; the lost opportunity.”

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!
