Yay - four hundred!

Another "mile"stone. My 400th consecutive day of running at least a mile.

It feels good!

It was quite an early one this morning as I had a business networking breakfast, so I was back in the house by 6.00am.

It's always great (well, nearly) to get a head start on the day!

I had coffee with a friend and a business contact who has been very helpful to me over the years. He was telling me about a networking training session he attended yesterday, where the presenter's first words were, "Do you brighten the room when you enter it or when you leave it?"

I really like that line.

It illustrates nicely how we do infect others with our energy, whether it is positive or negative, when we walk into a room or even when we talk on the telephone.

My energy is pretty good today so I hope to be brightening the spaces around me, at least for today.

Lessons from networking

First ever run with Nicky in the dark with torches. Good for her!

Two networking meetings back to back this morning. Enjoyed them both.

The message for people who want to be successful at networking is pretty much the same as it is for anything.

Don't expect immediate results. Invest in relationships and how you might be able to help someone else, with or without financial reward. Results can show up in the most unexpected ways.

After four hours of networking I received a call from someone who found my details on yell.com. Didn't know I even advertised there?

Just get in action and be curious about what might happen.
