Are You Going To Waste Another Year…?

I’m not going to give you any hype, I just want to speak plainly with you about networking.

It has been a struggle for a lot of people over the last few years, and I am not going to try and dwell on what you may have faced, what any of us has faced for that matter.

But we – all of us – are finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel (and no, it is not an oncoming locomotive… LOL).

The biggest challenge to each and every one of us is resetting our jobs or businesses for the prosperous future that is coming, and a big part of that is being able to connect, communicate and build effective relationships for both personal and business success… something of a lost art I’m afraid.

My name is Leo Petrik from FLOW Australia and I am here to help you succeed.

I feel it’s time that we were connected properly because the next 18 months are critical to each and every one of us to reset our personal and business lives for the global economic turnaround which is just around the corner (although it may not seem like it at the moment).

Now I don’t know whether you network or not, either way, I believe you are doing yourself a grave disservice…

I know that for many people in business… what is out there doesn’t work… and many who have tried networking over the years have learnt with certainty that the so called promises for business leads/referrals and education isn’t being delivered…

So WHAT can businesses DO?

Is there an alternative?

Well YES… now there is…

Come and find out how networking has changed and real networking is done… with only one focus… YOUR SUCCESS

WHY?

Because… without real, quality connections your business may not grow as quickly as you would like…

Because… learning a few simple skills can and will change the nature of your business and relationships…

Because… success is something we ALL strive for personally and in business, but we don’t always know HOW to do it, or get there…

Networking is actually a LIFE SKILL.

To that end, I would like to start our relationship by offering you a gift, my “5 Top Secrets of Networking!”, which are guaranteed to get your networking moving…

You Want Instant… Stop Bitching About The Result!

This problem needs your attention.

Instant this… instant that… when is it going to stop!

Guess what? It’s not!

You want instant business success… well I’ve got news for you and it’s all bad… THERE IS NO SUCH THING!

So how do you fix this… how can you achieve the success you want, in the shortest possible time.

Let me get to that in a moment, but there is something you need to understand first.

You live in an instant world so get used to it, but PLEASE… stop bitching about the results, because you can always do something about it.

You use instant coffee, pre-made food or take out, instant entertainment, instant connection using social media… Et cetera, et cetera… and you are never satisfied.

Yet when you make a decent cup of coffee (not instant) or go to a good coffee shop, you appreciate the quality of the coffee that you are drinking and you savour every moment as you take the time to chill, look at the world and enjoy a coffee (or tea, if you prefer).

It’s no different with food.

You often throw things together quickly (usually from a packet, or you get take out), throw it down, and wonder why you don’t enjoy your meals and yet when you go out to dinner and have good quality, fresh food that is prepared for you, or for that matter, when you actually prepare a PROPER meal for yourself, you savour every single mouthful and you appreciate the work you have put into the meal or the effort a chef and the restaurant staff are doing for you.

And don’t get me started on social media… so connected and yet so lonely… REALLY!

So… let’s get back to your business

To be better connected, to build and have fabulous conversations with real people… you need to take time.

From my perspective (and it’s just my view), there is no greater joy than having a great conversation, over good coffee/tea, building a strong relationship… AND one of the side benefits of doing this, is that you can build a successful and profitable business quickly and easily (NO not INSTANT), as any good relationship takes time and effort.

To do this right, it does take time and effort, but not as much as you think. So where do you start?

I would like to start by giving you a gift, my “5 Top Secrets of Networking!”, which are guaranteed to get your business networking moving…

A Great Networking Reminder From My Son.

I wаѕ rеmіndеd rесеntlу оf a great networking tір which I had apparently ѕhаrеd wіth my son many years ago (the things forgotten, and the things remembered… LOL).

At the time hе wаѕ сhаngіng from primary school to high ѕсhооl.

He asked to joined me after dinner one evening to have a heart-to-heart chat with mе. Hе wаѕ a little wоrrіеd аbоut gоіng tо his nеw high ѕсhооl because there were going to be a lot of nеw kids who he wouldn’t know and he was worried how he was going to be able to handle the situation.

Most of the kids that he knew were going to go to different schools.

He felt a little intimidated and nervous about being in this new environment, with kids that were going to be strangers to him.

He really wanted to know what to do… hоw wаѕ hе gоіng tо deal with іt!

Aрраrеntlу… whаt I had ѕаіd to him wаѕ, “Lіѕtеn, they аrе going tо bе nеw аѕ wеll, thеу’rе gоіng tо be wоrrіеd, some will even be a little scared аbоut being in this new ѕсhооl as well.”

So іnѕtеаd оf worrying about hоw уоu come асrоѕѕ to thеm, how about уоu take a deep breath, ѕmіlе, introduce уоurѕеlf and simply ask them fоr their name and where they are from… smіlе a lоt… аnd ask them аbоut them. Hеlр them tо get comfortable with the nеw ѕсhооl as well. Before you know it, you’ll feel better, they’ll feel better and you’ll make a few new friends as well.”

Yеаrѕ lаtеr he told me that, it was one оf thе bеѕt pieces of advice that I had еvеr given him, аnd hе іѕ ѕtіll using it today as an аdult.

Guess what folks… it works!

Sо remember… when you get stuck in a situation that you don’t know anyone, or end up at a function or party that didn’t turn out to be what you thought…

Take a deep breath, intrоduсе уоurѕеlf, say hello, ѕmіlе a lоt, thіnk аbоut the оthеr реrѕоn аnd mаkе thеm fееl better for meeting уоu.

Who knows… it could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship…
