Life Sucks…
I have an RSS feed to the blog “Spiritual Coaching.” Deanna wrote a great post “What I Know For Sure..” Since it is summer time, I find it easy to get out of the routine I keep from September to June. Deanna reminds us there are certain routines paramount to our health. As I read her post, I nod my head in agreement. Then, I get to the end. The obnoxiousness in me escapes. Perhaps I am in that funk she describes. I am sure I need to actually implement her advice. In an attempt at humor, here is my response to her question:
“I’ve heard that making a new habit takes 21 days. What if you tried these techniques for the next 21 days?
On day 22, what would you know for sure?”
Life sucks.
Networking constellation style…
Who recommended: Lynne Waymon
What I am reading: Make Your Contacts Count (Networking Know-How For Business and Career Success) by Anne Baber and Lynne Waymon
Where in the book: page 183
Why I am reading: Learning how to network. Cause believe me, I have no CLUE!
Which quote: “Create Constellations-Put together your own referral group-your constellation-by forming alliances with top notch professionals in the other fields who have access to your market.”
How this quote adjusted my thinking: I have seen the constellation building in practice. As a member of the Virtual Assistants industry, the people I have met recognize their skills meet a need of their clients. They are not shy about referring other virtual assistants to their client when a project requires specialized skill. The networking within this industry should be commended.
Make Co-workers part of your network…

What I am reading: Make Your Contacts Count (Networking Know-How For Business and Career Success) by Anne Baber and Lynne Waymon
Where in the book: page 171
Why I am reading: Learning how to network. Cause believe me, I have no CLUE!
Which quote: “Avoid Erroneous Assumptions: People I work with are automatically part of my network. Not true. You must create and nurture the relationships.”
How this quote adjusted my thinking: It wasn’t until I saw it written here that I realize this is how I view co-workers. I figure they were hired that must make us all on the same team. Seeing it written I recognize the importance of building relationships with co-workers.
One of the examples in the book is to eat lunch with someone and inquire about their work. My favorite meal of the day is lunch. I rarely eat lunch by myself. Networking at lunch is enjoyable for me. I have such a good time using lunch as a relationship building moment after I left one company my core group of lunch buddies lost 5 pounds each!
