FROM  YOUR PUBLISHER

The Benefits of Networking: Part ONE

No one denies that networking is very important. No one successful. We as black people, we do indeed network as well. Many blacks are quite successful in life and networking but the word needs to spread wider and deeper.

I think most blacks network without realizing it. We network with our few close friends, our families and maybe a few neighbors. What if you could expand your network to include others currently with no connection. The more people we are able to connect with in a mutual interest for each other the more possibilities we could get the help we need when we need it. The farther the reach of your networking web the more possible you could meet whomever you need to meet when you need to meet them, the more likely you can find out whatever you need to find out or get whatever advice you need at the time that you need it.

Let's not just network, let's after we learn the value of networking and how to do it, let's spread the word. Teach and train others to do the same. Why would we do that? We would do it because not only do we just want to help those that need to know but it would benefit us by helping to create a climate that lends itself to cooperation and coming together and working creatively to solve the problems we encounter.

How exciting is this?
You not only create your own network but teach them how to creatively network and help those build their networks, thus building yours at the same time. We teach them how sharing that incredibly valuable resource with their networking trainer/parter multiplies their own success as it allows them to teach and train and building their own networks through the other he helps to expand!

How about that?

Make sure you keep your eye out for Part 2 as I cover an outline of specific things and how you can benefit from your networkiung efforts.

Enjoy this issue and see you in 2 weeks!

PS - please forgive any typos. I have had enough of proof reading and I am going to go ahead and send this out! LOL!

MAIN ARTICLE - Fullspeed.to/millvill
By: Ted Harge

I woke up inspired this morning. Well morning for me because I just woke up at about 3pm eastern time since I worked 3rd shift last night. I went to sleep feeding my mind with some positive stuff playing in my ear about relaxation and trusting your mind and you memory and how letting stress go releases your body and brain to perform at it’s max. I woke up to this same treat. It got my day off to an incredible start. Ideas were flowing. Dispite the incredible heat, easily in the 90’s, probably the uppers I felt incredibly refreshed... I mean the sweat dripping down my face I looked at as refreshment as cooling me down (which it is) not as a sign of how unbearably hot it was.

Well in the midst of this state my mind went back to my goal to become a millionaire. To have $1,000,000 in my possesion by the time I’m 50 yrs old. Wow that age looks much better as a millioniaire I gotta tell you. I have had this goal for awhile but I just got a gut feeling that it as well as the message in this letter is a message many people need to hear.

The goal of a Million Dollars is reasonable and attainable. It is not all it used to be and chances are you're still thinking of it that way. Inflation has taken it's tool and it is an opportunity for you and I to jump on that one million and claim it!

$1,000,000
It’s not as hard as you would think!

I don’t mean that in the way we usually would mean it, that you think it’s hard but it’s not. In fact if you think it’s hard it will be. NO, I mean it ... It is not hard - just as you think. IF you are thinking it is NOT hard,then it is not.

So it might be clearer if I said it this way:

$1,000,000
It’s just as hard as you would think!
It’s not as hard as you would think!

Careful what you think because it is as you think. We attract what we think. Thoughts are things. What the heart of man can believe it can achieve. All popular saying in the "Personal Development" field of expertise, all would be very true. Believe you can achieve it then and believe it will be easy. Be prepared to go through the challenges and the doubts but in the long believe you will be able to say... Wow! That was easy!

Personal Development!

You will not even truly catch the meaning of that unless ... click here for the complete article

COLUMN: Ten ways people abuse their networks.

From The Book:
Networking for a Better Position and More Profit By Karen Hinds

Here are some unwritten rules of networking that you should try your best never to violate:

OFFERING SOMEONE ELSE'S EXPERTISE FOR FREE WITHOUT ASKING.
Nothing is more annoying than to get a call from a stranger telling you she was referred by a colleague who agreed to requests you are not prepared to accept. Worse, your colleague never gave you any indication to expect the call.

ASKING FOR SPECIAL PERSONAL FAVORS TOO EARLY.
Wait until your relationship has developed over a period of time before asking for a personal favor. Even in that case, be careful about what kind of personal favor you request. It is wise to keep the relationship on a professional level and to get personal only if both parties seem to show an interest in extending the relationship outside of a purely business realm.

PRETENDING TO KNOW THE RIGHT PEOPLE.
Being introduced to an influential person does not mean you know that person. Do not tell the people in your network that you know that person and can get in touch with him or her.
