MB Biz tips: Build your network

Networking is so crucial to the growth of your business and in most cases is the cheapest form of advertising you can do. You will also find that you can accomplish more if you build a strong network of reliable colleagues. Here are a few tips that will help you to network Bigger and Better!

1. Step out of the "network box": Not all networking has to be solely done at networking events. Some of the best relationships you will ever make will be in the most random places you can imagine. Plan to be ready to network wherever you go.

2.Leave the script at home: People like to be spoken to as people and not just a potential client or customer. So don't break out of the park trying to sell your product or service. Let people ask questions and request a business card if they want more information. This will also help you save from giving cards to people who have no intent on using them.

3. Take a network with you: Spread the wealth by inviting some friends or colleagues along with you to functions. This is a great opportunity to spend time with them and help further every ones business.

4. I'm interested in you!: Imagine how impressed you are when you run into someone you gave your card and they checked out your business whether through reading your blog, visiting your website or stopping by your office. Pay this forward or return this to others. Even if a persons service is not for you it doesn't mean you cant pass the information on. Some of the best referrals come from those you never knew were even paying attention!

Try these tips and let me know how they work for you! I'm always interested to see how your businesses are blossoming! Go Big or Go Home!

MB Biz: Power in your To Do List!

I have received many questions from you all on different parts of my business and overall operating. One of the main questions is how I stay so organized. All my friends laugh at my endless To Do List but the reality is they are such a vital part to me succeeding on the path to my goals! There are only a certain amount of hours in the day and once they are gone you cannot get them back. Have you been trying to use your time more efficiently? Are you looking to get more things done in the course of your day? Here are the steps I use to organize my To Do list:

1. My Anything & Everything(A&E) goes page: I start by writing down EVERYTHING that needs to be done. Yes I mean everything! If I have to take my poochie Lex to the groomer it goes down or if I have a private Lesson it goes down and so forth. Take all of the things you wish to get completed and make your A&E Page.

2. Divide & Conquer: Make categories for your task that cater to your world. For instance I normally break my list down into 4 major groups (Personal, Business, Empire, Household) Personal is for the things I want to get done for me and only me. Business includes my clients, contacts etc. Empire is everything that pertains to the needs of my business. Finally, household is daily living chores, family issue, etc.
I go down my list and put a P, B, E, or H by each thing listed to start conquering the breakdown. Keep this list as you will use it and continue to add to it. You can also prioritize for which task require urgent action.

3. Today's the Day: Make a reasonable list of things you will get done each day this week on a separate page. Cross them off your master page as you place them into your weeks calendar. For extended Goals that are weeks or months out. Put the actual date down on your calendar and work backwards to place your weekly and daily to do list for them.

*Always keep your master to do list handy for when an extra moment arrises. You can sneak one more task in :)
