My Library looses Masters of Networking--Building Relationships For Your Pocketbook and Soul
This book just went out the door to a fine home at a business library in Quebec..
Masters of Networking, ed. by Ivan R. Misner and Don Morgan, Bard Press, 2000. ISBN: 1885167482 The authors are part of BNI, Business Networks International.
Some of the contributors included in the book were: Harvey Mackay, Deepak Chopra, Mark Victor Hansen, Paul & Sarah Edwards, Fran Tarkenton, Susan RoAne, Bill Gates, John Naisbitt, Jay Conrad Levinson, John Milton Fogg and numerous others.
There are many practical tips in the book, too many to attempt to summarize.
Here's just one set of tips, from the 9 Keys to Mastery article by Lance Mead:
-accept the "givers gain philosophy,
-work in a disciplined structure
-attend networking events
-plan your networking
-accept the teachings of a mentor
-become a great storyteller
-have a database of resources to help other people
-keep an open mind
-make relationships a part of your life
Other articles such as Learn Your Networking Style in the Self Assessment section and the Top 10 Does and Dont's for Referrals by Humbert are very useful for those oriented practically. Humbert's key advice in my opinion is that good relationships take time; don't rush, have a plan and be methodical.
Other books worth looking at in a similar vein are:
Masters of Success
Business by Referral
7 Second Marketing
The Wor'd's Best Known Marketing Secret 2nd Ed.

The Tour Championship and the New Look 2007 Golf Tour
It's Tour Championship Time For the Best 30 Golfer's on the Men's Tour. The end of the line for this year officially. With not much on the tube to compete with it, it will get a lot of eyeballs this Thursday through Sunday.
The Tour doesn't appear to want to sit still, which I applaud. Golfers will be debating the new mega-championship proposal commissioner Tim Finchem announced yesterday.
Many golfers, no matter what ability level, will be thinking next year, next season. for changes they want to make in their game. This program from one of our blog sponsors Is worth looking at.
