It is said that you can't solve problems with the thinking that created those problems in the first place. As business people, we are facing new challenges and the worst thing we can do ... is nothing.
I am convinced that the answer lies within us, but finding it often needs inspiration, from somewhere. We always discover the answers ourselves, from the books we read and the people we meet.
So where are you finding inspiration from? The majority of people find it from TV (soaps, sitcoms etc.) or by reading newspapers which, in the world of TV and the internet, deliver opinion rather than news. And most of that opinion and what we see on TV is a negative dump on the senses.
When was the last time you read a book that suggested a new way to look at your business or your customers?
Who is inspiring you? How many people did you really get to know in the last month? I don't mean just meet, I mean really get to know during a one to one session. Where you put your ego and your 'stuff' to one side and you really focus on getting to know the other person.
Where was the last workshop or seminar you attended and what did you do differently as a result? How are you learning about and embracing new ideas and technologies in your industry, new ways of communicating with people, new ways of raising your credibility in the market place? How are you taking on new ideas and services that will make you a more valuable person to be around?
"What you will become will be determined by the books you read and the people you meet." John Maxwell

If you have not booked your place on the next Referral Strategy Workshop let me tell you why you should.
First of all you will be surrounded by people who will inspire you and get you excited about doing something new. You will get a chance to stand back and take an audit on your own referral strategy and appreciate what you are doing that's working and discover what is not. It will get clarity about the different steps you need to take to increase the number of referrals you generate this autumn.
Finally, I will show you how, with the click of a mouse, you can reach out and make new contacts, find new referral partners and win new business. If you are one of the 54% of business people on one or more of the social networking sites and don't know what you are doing, you need to attend this workshop. If you are not, you need to attend this workshop.
