Don’t do this on LinkedIn

2022-08-07T17:47:02-04:00August 21st, 2010|Social Media|0 Comments

This week I received a message on LinkedIn from someone who will remain nameless, who said "I would be interested in making a connection with you and getting to know you. Is there a time that we could set up to connect?" Short, sweet and to the point and included an email address. After checking his website, I saw that it made sense for us to talk and emailed him back some days and times I was available to talk. I too was interested in learning more about his company and the association he runs; it would be a good connection. So far, really good, right? However, instead of an email with a time and date

The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity

2022-08-07T17:47:03-04:00August 6th, 2010|Change|1 Comment

In her book "The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity", Catherine Ponder writes about three simple steps about the law of prosperity. The same steps can be easily be used by business owners to better organize the time you have, be more successful, find the freedom you're looking for, etc. The three steps are: (1) Have a plan, wring out your desires and constantly expanding it; (2) Mentally imaging that plan as fulfilled; (3) Constantly affirming its perfect fulfillment.
