I am surrounded my quotes in my office and have quote books all over the place. One of the potential dangers of the ease of "social networking" is to forget that it's truly about creating genuine connections and conversations. People can become so caught up in the tool and "what's in it for them" that they fail to engage with people. Thank you for the reminder. One of myafavorites: "Not everything that is faced can be changed but nothing can be changed until it is faced." James Baldwin Carol, this quote resonates with me too.

Without people there would be no referrals! What could be more fun than interacting with people? Meeting new friends and acquaintances, learning about what each other does, how exciting is that? Networking is really EASY when you focus on PEOPLE. You know businesses (companies) come and go - people don't leave - it is so important to realize that it doesn't matter WHAT the business is or the name of the business - people do business with people! Learn to know more about the people in various businesses - you'll be so glad you did! When the know, like and trust factor is there, referrals are a piece of cake!

Any time I would get it wrong, he would remind me. Now it is habit. I am able to catch myself and adjust. I am able to observe others who are making that mistake and respond appropriately, by being cautious with any advice they try to give, or products they try to sell.

For me that is very representative of business. If 9 out of 10 new businesses fail in the first year, I just need to keep trying till I get one that works.

It's, you the person behind the "business" that makes your business unique. When a person shines/helps others then others are attracted to them and are open to working/buying/ect. with them.

Networking is a wonderful way to reinforce this in a powerful way.

This is a lesson for all those shove-my-business-down-your-throat marketers (or family and friends)that we learn to avoid. I believe that you should approach folks in a manner that you would want to be treated. It's sometimes why I sign up at a networking site, just to not return for several months. Too many emails asking me to buy this or sign-up under them. I agree people buy from people they know, like, and trust, no matter what the product or service is. My favorite is "Of all the things I lost, I miss my mind the most" ;-) I absolutely agree!

Quotes have the power to carry a HUGE message in a few words. This particular quote is very powerful. It is a message that every business person should think about regularly and align their lives and intentions with. One of my favorite quotes? What THINK about and THANK about, we BRING about!! I am grateful to have met so many like-minded individuals who are focused on blessing the lives of others and improving the world one connection and one interaction at a time!

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882) So many people just focus all their energy on what is wrong and are surprised that they get more of the same. Always, always look for the good.

This quote goes right to the heart of the matter of networking. I agree with you that it points to the person, before pointing to their service or retail product. Great choice! Thanks, Carol.
