Reasons To Join A Networking Referral Group
If you are a small business owner, have you ever considered joining a Networking Referral Group? Just about every community has a networking organization where business people and entrepreneurs meet and try to build their businesses. The networking group offers a lot of benefits for your business. By joining one of these groups, which is a nominal fee, you have the opportunity to meet with some really great people within your community and form business alliances. I belong to a group called Tiger Networking and since I joined a few months ago, my business has increased. I highly recommend joining any group that build business relationships for you. Below are five benefits that you gain by joining one of these groups… This article was originally published by this author, James Fowler, on www.myfivebest.com.
Escaping The Puppetmaster
Why don’t we take the responsibility in our lives? You could throw a wonderfully thick steak on the grill, a bottle of wine and have a wonderful dinner with your spouse for less than $20 or you could go out and have the same meal for $80 and complain about the service.
You could drive to work everyday and do what the boss tells you to do for $15 an hour or you could walk downstairs at 9am, and work for yourself until its time to do something else – making many more times your current salary.
Why would you mow someone else’s lawn for minimum wage if you could find your dream job and hire someone else to mow your lawn?
Can you fail at your dream? Yes. Will you find success if you never try? No.
You can achieve your goals if you believe in yourself and take responsibility for your future. Who’s controlling you and what are you giving up in your life to avoid falling down if you fail?

Something To Ponder
I grew up in what is now known as the “Rust Belt of America“. The corpses of long-forgotten factories lie in ruins along streets that can no longer be maintained. Yet, somewhere amongst the ghosts of the Industrial Revolution, small business thrives. Time is almost reversing and people are making their livelihoods in local shops and home offices where they promote their skills rather than follow direction from big business management.
But, how do we get an entrepreneurial spirit? It isn’t like we were given this roadmap to look outside the box and do things on our own. Actually, it has been just the opposite. We are taught that there is structure in everything and it is our job to follow that structure. It is trained within our makeup to follow the establishment.
When you are young, we are told to listen to our parents. Meals are a set schedule, we are given orders to clean our rooms and take out the garbage, we go to bed at a certain time, and do what we are told by the management, i.e. our parents.
Next, we go to school and it is more of the establishment. The teacher puts you in a class, sits you in an assigned seat, and you study what the teacher instructs you to learn. In actuality, it isn’t even learning, it is memorization and regurgitation. If you do wrong, you are punished. If you do something right, you are rewarded with a foil star.
Finally, we graduate from high school and/or college, we go out to find a job and we are expected to be leaders – but we’ve never been trained to think on our own. We are still looking for direction.
So how does a person become a leader? How do these small business owners get the nerve to stand up against what we’ve all been trained to embrace?
Question: What made you decide to go into business for yourself?
