Hi Bonnie,

Thank you for your kind post and mention of John David Mann's and my book. I was honored to have the opportunity to coauthor this book with John, who is the most talented writer I know.

I'm very much looking forward to our interview. I also appreciate Jim's kind words above and Bonnie's helping out her neighbor as she did. Awesome!!

Best regards,

Bob

Jim I LOVE all those Bob Burg quotes! I'll be listening for more of them in my interview.

This one: "Position yourself as a center of influence - the one who knows the movers and shakers. People will respond to that, and you'll soon become what you project." Bob Burg ~ just getting ready to talk about that one and how I accidentally got on that track!

Bob Burg. LOL. I have been using quotes from him since I learned how to network... a whole 10 months ago...but have yet to read the book.

I learned the concept as pay-it-forward and soon found many other names for it.

Bonnie, Where is the movie “Pay It Forward.” movie? I have not seen it.

Interesting, that Bonnie 100% extrovert and I am 100% introvert and the same principle works for both of us.

Here are some quotes on networking I like:

Networking is not an event, but a process: a way of life.~Pat Weber

"It isn't just what you know, and it isn't just who you know. It's actually who you know, who knows you, and what you do for a living." Bob Burg

"You can use your business card to get the other person's business card. As far as I'm concerned, this is the one truly legitimate benefit of business cards." Bob Burg

"Position yourself as a center of influence - the one who knows the movers and shakers. People will respond to that, and you'll soon become what you project." Bob Burg

"The pros, the champions, the ones who are determined to succeed (and you're one of them), do the little things right, consistently." Bob Burg

"The successful networkers I know, the ones receiving tons of referrals and feeling truly happy about themselves, continually put the other person's needs ahead of their own." Bob Burg

Yes indeed Bonnie! I actually do believe being a Go-Giver doesn't not know any extrovert or introvert boundaries. As you said in your comment, "Helping someone in need," can be on everyone's to BEING list if they want to put it there.

Thanks for your comment.

Oh, Pat, I love how you challenge the extrovert in my. Right now I'll comment on Giver's Gain. After I listen to you interview Bob, I'll comment on being a Go-Giver.

I was most touched by the movie "Pay It Forward." I, a flaming extrovert, give and give and give... just because. I love how I feel during and after I do. In the grocery story, while driving, anywhere and everywhere... A smile, a kind word, a complement, letting someone in front of me... those are tiny givings.

Helping someone in need, coaching or giving marketing ideas. Recently, neighbors were having a birthday party for their 2 year old. He'd just lost his job and they didn't have money for party goods, so I climbed up in the closet and kept handing things down to the mom. What fun to go to the party full of smiling face.

Talk to you on the call.
