Imagine yourself in a room...

Imagine yourself in a room surrounded by people who are approaching you and each one is asking in his or her own way, "Can you please help me?" What if there are 10 people? 20 people? 50 people? How about 100, 200 or even 300 people all asking you for help? How do you imagine that feels? Does the word overwhelming come to mind?

Maybe that scenario works for God, but I'm not God. I don't have the ability to deal with all those people and all their requests at once. Maybe I won't go back in that room a second time. In fact, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't return to that place unless I was conducting a sociological or psychological experiment or something of that nature.

If I want to reach my goals, complete my project, improve my business or career or pursue my dreams I need help from people. I need to "build a team around my dream".

What if we reversed what happens when we enter a room? Instead of a lot of people asking us for help, what if they were all asking how they could help us? ["What do you need next most?" is a question I like to ask.] Imagine 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 or even 300 people asking us how they can help us? Doesn't that feel much better than the other way around? How much could we get done and how much faster could we get it done if we had all those people who are willing to help by connecting us to people they know. Sometimes we'll even find that some of those people in the room with us are the exact people we're looking for. They don't even need to refer us because they are the solution to that next step for us.

That's how we'll network on Soflow. It's implied from the start that we're all asking each other "How can I help you?" or "What do you need next most?"

That's the deal if you're networking with us on Soflow. Here's a reminder of what this blog is about:

Build Relationship Build Income


"You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want." Zig Ziglar

"In order for things to change, YOU must change." Jim Rohn

*DESIGN THE LIFE you want and GET THERE FASTER through networking for others.
*Modify your methods to serve and mentor other people.
*Build Skills to Build Relationship and Build Income Faster.

If you want to network with us, you're willing to help others in the group by referring them to your connections. I prefer to introduce people over the phone as you may have read in previous posts. Some people send a three-way email of introduction. One of those is required.

If you see that you have a helpful connection or connections for someone based on their request, email them or call them and let them know. I suggest talking on the phone, but some people prefer the email exchange. Keep in mind that you want to be HELPFUL in helping that person with what they need next. Yes, I got a little redundant there. That's because I don't want anyone to hide behind rules and be less helpful because they're sticking to the "letter of the law".

An interesting and beautiful thing happens when we're all willing to help each other through networking. We all feel supported because of the implied, "How can I help you?" But more than that, we all get some help and have some fun and build some relationships in the process.

If you're only interested in your own agenda we don't need you. If you're interested in reaching your goals by helping other people reach theirs, then contact me. I'll be getting more specific with rules designed to speed things up soon.

You need to be connected to me directly on LinkedIn and Soflow for starters. Let me know that you want to participate. We'll be actively networking on Soflow soon.

Build Relationship. Build Income. It works.
