Ladies, We Need Your Help While I am addressing this post to all you ladies, it can equally apply to men.
Ladies, I want you to know that most the guys you meet at a networking event are not "dirty old men". We are not staring at you but trying to read that small print used on your name tag. So I would offer a few suggestions that I have picked up over the years regarding using name tags. - Use large print. Make it easy for everyone to read.
- Use a good clear font with easy to read colors.
- Consider using your first name only. This allows plenty of room for large print.
- Wear on the ride side so it is easy to see when shaking hands.
A couple of other tips you may want to consider which will make it easy for someone you meet to ask you what you do are to leave off your company name and your occupation. I have found that doing this is a great way to really get a conversation started especially on a good note. If you use your occupation and/or company and they have had a bad experience in that area you will either get an earful or they will not talk to you at all.
So make it easy for people to just know you name and for them to ask you the question that you want them to ask, "What do you do"? -------------------------------------------------------------

The Lost Art of the Personal TouchBy Roland P. Desjardins When was the last time someone sent you a card to say, “thanks”, I really appreciate you or I want to thank you for a job well done. Maybe someone was thinking of you and just wanted to say they miss you and sent you a note to tell you that. Perhaps a family member that lives across the country wanted to say they were thinking of you and look forward to their next visit. There are countless examples of cards or letters you could receive for a variety of reasons aren’t there? Conversely there are numerous reasons you could send a card or letter to brighten someone else’s day. So how come you don’t anymore? I think we are generally a well intentioned society, it simply seems that we are overloaded and overwhelmed with so much to do that this little gesture has been pushed aside.
Oh, there are those cute e-mail cards you can send that open and do some very cool things. Especially at Christmas, there is a variety of talking animal’s, playful children, snowmen, angels and well, you know the ones. Somehow it isn’t quite the same as when someone takes the time to send a very personal note to you, specific to your relationship to let you know they care. Those e-mails are usually deleted soon after, whereas a card has a way of ending up on your bulletin board and kept for a longer period of time. It seems a little more authentic and personal doesn’t it? |

Our Network Marketing is a professional networking group that meets on a weekly basis to help other like minded professionals grow their business through building relationships. We encourage members and guests to meet outside of the weekly meetings to grow relationships with others that they get to know, like and trust. Once these relationships are built and cultivated, it is very easy to pass on qualified referrals to each other. The group meets each Friday at 11:30 a.m. at La Hacienda Ranch, 5250 Hwy 121, in Colleyville. For information, please contact Bill Hurlbut at 817-685-2915. Membership Application: Click Here

Dreams help stir our passion just as passion helps stir our dreams. It's important to think BIG when it comes to dreams for our future. Think big thoughts, dream big dreams, and make big plans. We serve a big God who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond all we could ever hope, ask, or think. (Ephesians 3:20)
"A hope, vision, dream, or plan is like a seed. It is a small thing leading to something big. Everything starts with a seed. We can never have a harvest without a seed and it's the same way with our dreams. If you have no positive hopes or dreams for the future, you will either stay where you are or begin to slide backward. Your current condition could get worse, unless you think creatively and aggressively. Don't wait for some great idea to fall into your mind; instead, search for one. Pray for creative ideas, think about what you would like to do, and then believe you can do it."
This is from the book "Embrace Life With Passion" by Joyce Meyer It encouraged me and so I wanted to share it with you!!!
Be encouraged and never look back and never, never quit!!! Have a terrific day!!!
