Dear Friends

I received a message Friday morning that one of my mentors, who also is a good friend, passed away. This is a man who has had a huge influence in my life. In fact, the scope of his support is only now, with the benefit of hindsight, becoming evident to me.


While reflecting on our time together (which now seems so short), I am acutely aware that his involvement with me transcended professional courtesy or business mentorship.
His was an on-going example of unconditional love.

While sad about his passing, I am comforted in the knowledge that the last few times we were together, I made it a point of acknowledging the contribution he had made to my life. Remembering those conversations is making it easier for me.

This week's tip:
There are people in your life who have, or who are now, making a significant contribution to your success. Likely they are a select few. Make it a point to meet with each, look her/him in the eyes and acknowledge their help and support. I'm glad I did.

Now, go work your network.

Networking Tip of the Week:

A young entrepreneur lamented that more and more of his clients weren't paying on time. Frustrated to no end with this issue and its impact, he created a process to automatically remind them of their tardiness, hoping to "guilt" them into paying.

To help, I wrote an article on "maintaining cash flow in a down economy" (in the article archive of the NFR Network) and emailed him a copy. He replied with a 500-word rant, railing at how the
world was against small business and nothing could be done.

It occurred to me that he was accepting the status quo rather than addressing the core problem. By re-evaluating both his receivables mindset and methodology, he has now devised strategies that turn this high-priority issue to his advantage.

This week's tip:
The "new" economy is affecting professionals in many different ways: from fewer haircuts (a small problem for me), to delaying purchases or conserving cash. For every negative issue, there is a (sometimes hard-to-find) positive side. Find and leverage it to optimize your results.
Example: how about offering a discount for early payment, cash payment or pre-payment? Who wouldn't be interested in saving money these days?

Succeeding in difficult times

Succeeding in difficult times is as much about integrity and ethics as it is about productivity and profits. Don't lose sight of this as you search for innovative technology options to deal with your current situation.
Think relationships rather than revenues. Think of technology in terms of pulling people towards your value, rather than pushing your product. Above all, think before you click.
Now, go work your network.
