I am devouring a website I came across a little while ago called Flying Solo. As I am a self employed person in my own solo enterprise as well as working in a micro enterprise I am finding this website wonderful!
I'm posting about one of the videos in particular.
In the video there is a list of "do not" do this and that. Due to my "early childhood training", I learnt that when you speak to a child and you want it to do something.. start with "Do X" not "Don't do X". Example: Walk with the scissors works a lot more successfully with children than "Do not run with the scissors". Serious. I've done this many times in my life and seen the instant results.
None the less, I am going to create a "DO" list to balance the "DO NOT" list in the video:
Start with getting to know the other person. What is their business and interests? Then introduce yourself and your business.
Be open minded. You never know where your next opportunity or best connections will be born. For instance, you might find your next big client at the swimming pool where you take your child for swimming lessons. Also, never under-estimate who the person you meet knows in their social circles.
Be "present". Listen. Pay attention to what the person is saying. Be in the "now" with your interaction.
Follow up with the connections you made. Block time out in your day or week for following up, engaging and connecting.
Think long term. Networking is about the bigger picture not the "here and now". Do not expect instant results.
Before you speak, listen.
Before you write, think.
Before you spend, earn.
Before you invest, investigate.
Before you criticize, wait.
Before you pray, forgive.
Before you quit, try.
Before you retire, save.
Before you die, give.
....William A. Ward.
I'm part of a monthly financial education 'club' as such. Every month I receive a CD with a small piece of paper which has something inspirational, motivational or otherwise positive written upon it. I've thrown a lot away due to moving recently however still have a few that I have kept.
I'm going to post the quotes, etc, here for everyone to enjoy:
Every man should be born again on the first day of January, Star witha fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle, or let down one, according to circumstance; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his fae to the front, and take no interest in the thing that were and are past.
Henry Ward Beecher
As Mother Teresa has said
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.
"We cannot do great things on this Earth, only small things with great love."
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I'm also a graduate of the "old" DancerWealth system. Thus I am a huge supporter and welcome this updated version which was put together by another graduate. Believe me, this stuff works! It didn't work for me "overnight" as it took me awhile to "get it" but it does work.

Alongside a hindu mantra I purposefully put on loop - I'm also watching the following two YouTube videos up to twice a day. I've been doing this daily for nearly a week. I feel I'm already seeing results. It's helping my mindset immensely. I went thru a rough patch financially (seemed like everyone wanted my money without much money coming into my life aka bank account) and this is helping me get thru it.

Do you find yourself butting your head against the wall of success? Are you caught up
in a revolving door going around and around? When you look at where you are in life, do you think you should be further ahead?
Not long ago, I reviewed my goals. If you know me, you might realize that I am a dreamer. I have BIG dreams. But there are days when I, too, am frustrated. I feel like I am spinning my wheels of success in one place.
On the outside, many people think I have it all together. They think I am so successful and I have arrived. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy with the success I have had so far in my life. I am living my dream in America. I am blessed! I face everyday with excitement and passion.
I am doing something I truly love. My vocation is my vacation. I have friends in high places. I am way ahead of many. Life is wonderful compared to what it was. I am successfully pressing on to greater things. But I have had my share of frustration along the way.
