This weeks post is going to be very short but sweet. My last few weeks working with Shannon have been very productive so my work load has expanded. We have taken the last two weeks and networked our heads off. We have been meeting some wonderful people that are allowing us to learn from them and giving us ideas as to what we would need to do to push our businesses ever farther.
I also last week sent out an email on one of my networking sites asking the people I network with who they are and what it is that they do. My main point in sending the email was to see who was serious about what they do. I understand that if you join a business you are serious about it, but I wanted to know who was really there to NETWORK.
Sadly, 75% of the replies I received were links, ads or one and a half lines of information on what they did nothing else. I even had someone that when they sent their link, I asked them to elaborate and they copy and pasted information from their website. The other 25% I am still in contact with and we are building an excellent networking relationship.
People please work with me. I say this in almost every blog, email, or video that I do. If you are going to network with someone you can not just send them your link and think that they are going to jump on your business and not look. People at this time are being very cautious about what they join and they will not join you if they do not know who you are. Find out about the other person and see what your business can do for them as well as what their business can do for you. If you have nothing in common with your business remember you can always bounce ideas off of each other on advertising, marketing, frustrations, etc. At this point we are human networkers and most of us go through the same things. We can always be there for each other one way or another.
Okay I was wrong, the post is not short. But as always I make a point to share my latest radio show. This week I have had Eddie from http://www.fabulousblackwoman.com. She is an amazing woman and she was an amazing guest. Check out what she had to say about her products and her way of networking.
See you again soon,

About Me
- Lorreen
- I am a hard working Stay At Home wife and mother of four children. I have bent over backwards trying to work at home for years and found myself to be a Jack of all Trades, and Master at None. I have been down all the roads from Amway/QuickStar, Avon, Mary Kay, people I have sold perfume store to store out of a duffel bag. LOL! (That is not a joke) I spent years working every business under the sun and found myself alone, and broke not wanting to spend another dime. I have had uplines stalking me until I sign up and then doing the "Witness Protection" thing. So I was left out in the cold with no blanket. I was not taught a thing, just kept trying to figure things out on my own. Finally, I came across the perfect opportunity for me that allowed me to not only learn what to look out for, but how to work at home. I was finding out how to build a business without breaking the bank, and I was able to pass on to others everything that I was being taught without asking them to send me their left arm, right leg, half their house, and a car.

I can't tell you how many times that has happened to me. Your post was the right amount of words:-)
Sometimes you gotta tell it how it is
