Newsletter #3

Great Job everyone! This week's Network event at Ashburn GC was a great success. Thanks for coming along – especially those who were there early to help out. I think everyone will agree it was an excellent event, lovely setting and a good group. I think we all learned a lot too!

A Big Thank-You to
Catherine for organising the venue & the Product Table;
Lori for organising Corey Poirier as our Speaker & taking photos;
Marybeth for looking after the door prizes;
Jeff for manning the front door;
Angela for co-hosting, organising place names & being time-keeper!
And all of you for mingling, mixing & networking

It was great to see a few referrals going across the groups this morning – 9 of the 16 referrals were cross-referrals i.e. to people outside their regular club. MaryBeth donated the Referral prize (an Ergonomic Assessment) and Jeff tried to give it away – not because he didn’t want it!! Thanks MB

Referral Tip of the Week ~Dress for success.
Dress and behave so the person you're asking is comfortable with having a friend or business associate contact you. Take a long look in the mirror. Do you look like success?

This morning was a great example of dressing for success! So many sharp-dressed men in that room this morning – no wonder I was blushing (and you all thought it was because of my unplanned joke!). And the women – well, don’t we always look good?

Book of the Week First Things First: To Live, To Love, To Learn, To Leave a Legacy

Stephen Covey along with A. Roger Merrill and Rebecca Merrill take a different approach to time management and look at priorities at the deepest level. By knowing what is first on your list, it allows you to focus on important work that provides huge benefits. This is a great one to listen to on tape.

I mention this book as it ties in with some of the things Corey mentioned this morning. Sharpening the Saw is one of the tools Stephen Covey teaches so if you like that example, check out this book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People or any other of Covey’s stuff at http://www.franklincovey.com/

That’s it for this week – I hope you are all having a highly productive day!

See you all at Bill’s Diner next week ~ Speaker is Catherine Fitzsimmons.
