I started the 52 ways to build your Networking Company for a jump-start or to re-ignite your networking company. When you first signed up for your new business endeavor, I’m sure your spent your first couple weeks setting down and discussing the business with your family members. Your object should be to only pull at least 4 into your business. WHY, there is 4 aces in a deck of cards!
Then, as usual, genius hit me! (haha) Take these lessons and only apply 1 principle once a week for the next year. How easy is that? Focus on and apply, 1 a week. Its the little things that can really take your business off the ground. Small steps, one in front of the other. This should really impact your business starting next week.

*Don’t make this a job! when it’s a job you will never finish, and only push things off.
Don’t let anyone tell you that these businesses are a scam or illegal; the same person that tells you that, probably buys from Pampered Chef, Avon, Quixtar/Amway. All it comes down to is that they really don’t know much about business at all, so move on. If they think these businesses are so bad, then somebody better tell the Orlando Magic, because they have one of their names on their stadium.(Its called the Amway Arena) They purchased the rights in 2006. They will pay over 1.5 million dollars for the four year contract. Oh, by the way the founder of Amway Richard Devos owns the Team! Richard Devos is the 119th richest person in the world!
