Networking Chat
So now you are out there in a few business networks. Who will you talk to? What will you talk about? Your drink? Your spouse? Your favorite team?
Does that help you bond quickly, deeply or long term in your business network? What next then?
Well, an active listener knows that we have 2 ears and 1 tongue, so we should listen twice as much as we talk. I am guilty of violating this maxim more often than not. I should know better.
Are you networking among a limited group or are you actually expanding your network up and down the org chart and across cultures? That sounds a lot more promising to me.
Listening is one of the best kept secrets in life and business. If you know this secret you will find your networking expanding quickly, deeply and with long term ROI!
Good luck in your search for new jobs and new client!

LinkedIn GroupsGroup: Startup SpecialistsSubject: New comment (2) on "Lets Help People Get Jobs
From my buddy Mark:
I think the job search process can be defined in three steps:
1. Define your goals
2. Get your 'brand' in order - a major component of this for most people is your resume
3. Start networking!
So many people rely on the traditional 'reply to job postings' way of getting jobs. I've found my last 5 (or 6) positions or opportunities by networking. In some of those cases I didn't even need a resume.
For those of you who haven't made networking a major component of your search, read "The 29 Percent Solution" by Ivan Misner (the founder of BNI).
Better yet, if you can reach one of Rick's weekly meetings, I'd check it out. I think services like Rick's are great ways to improve your job search. Rick's blog will recap what they cover in their meetings as well. One person in your networking group is all you need to point you to an opportunity.

Powerup in the Recession
"There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else." - Sam Walton, Wal-Mart
Today I spoke ]about how to Powerup in the Recession:
1. Be clear with hiring managers and customer targets
2. Be concise with your accomplishments, back them up with numbers, especially $$$$.
3. Be confident with all the people you meet and they will get the vibe!
4. Be a winner who breaks a sweat, practices more, plays more, and delivers more to employers and customers.
