Consider Changing the way you think about things…
You must make an effort to find balance in 2012. Work hard but build lasting and meaningful relationships. Recently, I completed reading Twelve Pillars, a novel by Jim Rohn and Chris Widener. It has literally changed my perspective on the way I approach life. It has energized me to create a stable financial future but I also want to bring along as many other folks with me who want to work hard and play hard too!
To that end, I am offering suggestions on ways to maximize your empire building efforts. The key is in managing your time wisely. Get yourself a day planner, use your phone, use your lap top but get out there and meet people but don’t forget to follow-up with them and build relationships. The fortune is in the follow-up. People want to do business with folks they know and like.
The third Monday of each month is Connect over Coffee on Kirkman Road at the Jackson-Hewitt office. On Tuesday mornings at 8:30 there is a networking event operated by the SRB Networking Group www.srborlando.com and it is held at the Village Square on Goldwyn Avenue in the 2nd Floor Conference Room. On Tuesday evenings at 7:00pm there is the Orators Toastmaster Group. This activity is at Century Link building on 436 near Ronald Reagan Blvd. This information was obtained from www.meetup.com
A good group to join for building your business is ABC – Orlando- Central FL Business Connectors Networking. You can find their information on meetup.com. Another great organization you might want to investigate is the National Association of Entrepreneurs – Winter Park http://www.thenae.org This group is having their Grow Your Biz & Build Friendships with other CEO’s on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays at Fiddler’s Green Irish Pub at 11:30am.
Other groups to consider are the African-American Chamber of Commerce and the Orlando Women in Business. Both of these groups have networking events as well as educational opportunities.
I am looking forward to being a life-long learner and sharing the knowledge with other businesses and “do-gooders” like myself. Let’s go become millionaires!
