Taking Your Relationships to a New Level

Dear Member,

"Everyone wants to be rich. Although most people think being rich is about having money, rich is a description for everything but money. Rich relationships lead to much more than money. They lead to success, fulfillment, and wealth." Jeffrey Gitomer from his book, "The Little Black Book of Connections"

Jeffrey Gitomer has written several books that I have devoured. In his book "The Little Black Book of Connections" he talks about the importance of being a giver and building relationships.

Bob Littel has written a book called, "The Heart and Art of Netweaving", an other book that I will be committing to memory. Bob writes about becoming a Netweaving Ambassador and "Pay It Forward" aspect of networking. (Sounds familiar to my friends).

I have been tired of the word "networking" for quite a while. A few weeks ago I came up with the term "Netwebbing" since my logo was the spider web. No matter what you call it, "Connectors", "NetWeavers", or "NetWebbers", we are all about the relationship. Really listening close to what you have to say and asking probing questions so that WE can help YOU!

If it is still all about you and how everyone can help you, don't bother to read the books. If you want to become better at building and maintaining the relationships that bring you joy by giving - read and enjoy the books. I have never read books that were so motivating for my vision in my life. Thank you Jeffrey and Bob for these inspiring books.

Please Help Spread The Word

A dear friend and business colleague of mine, Karin Hall of QCSS did a wonderful "mitzvah" for me. She composed a letter that she sent to her contact list with a link to my website for membership. It was very well worded and we have had a great influx of members due to Karin's initiative. Please email me for a copy of the letter so that you can send it to your contact list. We all know at least 250 people - Shouldn't they all benefit from the free website? I thank you all in advance.
