Most of us have been to the circus.  Perhaps you have even imagined that your Trump Network organization resembles one.  That being the case just imagine yourself on the circus high wire, walking confidently, focused and successful. Now step back and look at the bigger picture. In order to have that confidence and success, what one item is truly necessary besides skill and experience? That’s right…a net! None of us can work without a net. Like the person on a high wire, the bigger and better the net, the more successful and confident you’ll be. How is your Net - working?
You may be saying, I don’t have a need for a big network.  Well, I think you’re wrong! Even outside of Financial Freedom Investors and the Trump Network consider these facts:
    
    • 70% of jobs are filled through a network.
    • Networking can save time and energy in getting things done.
    • Networking is a way for us to help other people reach their goals.
    • Networking is a way for us to reach our own goals more quickly.

We’ve all experienced it or seen it happen. Someone calls us, or offers us something, just at the very moment we need it.  Often, we may be confused as to how this person knew about the need, or how they even knew who we were. The answer is usually a network. Somewhere along the way, you did something to help someone, and in sowing that seed, you were able to reap a benefit back, even if you don’t realize where the benefit came from.  How do we nurture and grow our network, so that we can reap later? Here are some thoughts, followed by some specific ideas.

Truly effective networking is a process of mutual benefit. If you focus your attention on how you can help the other person, you’ll be heading the right direction. Remember that the key is your intent. If your intent is to serve and help the others in your network, then you will be amazed when something returns…with interest!

Here are two things you can do this week (today!) to build and strengthen your network.

•Say thank you! More specifically, make a note to send three thank you notes this week. Send them for small or large things. Send one even if it’s way overdue. Hand write them! Put it on your calendar. Do it every week.  Thank people even if it seems they haven’t done anything.  Thank them for ‘just being there and for being a friend.’

•When talking to others, ask yourself "How can I help?" Is there a person you can recommend, a resource they might find useful, a book you know of? Is there any way you can think of to help? Asking yourself this question will make you a powerful networker.

Practicing these suggestions and developing this mindset will strengthen and grow your network, not just in the Trump Network, but in life.  
Is that important?    Only if you’d like more confidence and success.

To your continued success…
