“My base of operations for creating cash flow was a coffee house. But this plan can be set loose anywhere, if the time is right and you keep alert…I haven’t listed any “traditional” places for business networking, like chamber of commerce mixers, business expos, and other such spots. Here’s why… Those places aren’t conducive to good conversation. EVERYONE has their sales hat on. They’re all in self-promotion mode, shoving business cards into every face they see.
The secret to firing up your cash flow is to uncover opportunities during the natural course of your day, in low-pressure, non-business situations. You’ll find more money-making projects (i.e., problems to solve) chatting with a stranger at the gym than you will at any trade show. You can take that to the bank.” Fire-Up Your Cash Flow, by Wally Conger. (Get Fire-Up Your Cash Flow for free by going to wallyconger.com.)
“A large advertisement appeared on the financial page of a New York newspaper calling for a person with unusual ability and experience. Charles T. Cubellis answered the advertisement, sending his reply to a box number. A few days later, he was invited by letter to call for an interview. Before he called, he spent hours in Wall Street finding out everything possible about the person who had founded the business> During the interview, he remarked: “I should be mighty proud to be associated with an organization with a record like yours. I understand you started twenty-eight years ago with nothing but desk room and one stenographer. Is that true?”
Almost every successful person likes to reminisce about his early struggles. This man was no exception. He talked for a long time about how he started with $450 in cash and an original idea. He told how he had fought against discouragement and battled against ridicule, working Sundays and holidays, twelve to sixteen hours a day; how he had finally won against all odds, until now the most important executives on Wall Street were coming to him for information and guidance. He was proud of such a record. He had a right to be, and he had a splendid time telling about it. Finally, he questioned Mr. Cubellis briefly about his experience, then called in one of his vice presidents and said: “I think this is the person we are looking for.” How to Win Friends and Influence People, by Dale Carnegie.
“As you’re beginning to deliberately train your perspective towards those better feeling beliefs, we always encourage you to start with something easy. Once you’ve shown yourself that you can easily on most subjects find improved perspectives, then you can focus upon those more challenging situations. In time you will know that you have absolute control over the way you feel, over your point of focus, over your point of attraction, and over everything that comes into your life experience.” The Amazing Power Of Deliberate Intent, by Abraham-Hicks.
“Most people never feel secure because they are always worried that they will lose their job, lose the money they already have, lose their spouse, lose their health, and so on. The only true security in life comes from knowing that every single day you are improving yourself in some way, that you are increasing the caliber of who you are and that you are valuable to your company, your friends, and your family.” Tony Robbins
