Networking & Year-End Activities

-- Chatter -- This is an exciting day for me. Yesterday, I was able to reach a third of our contacts with a personal email sharing our appreciation for their work and offering more networking opportunities for 2011 and beyond. We have also started the official announcements letting folks know of the affiliate opportunities that we have going on for 3 of our books, so far. (see the "store" on our site: Brummet.ca ). I've already completed the year-end chores for our radio show, and now have to make sure that the marketing files are in equal shape by the end of the month.

Marketing & Used Oil

-- Quote of the Day -- “ I already had the speaking and consulting side of the business before the book came out, …and I kept on being asked by people who attended the seminars whether I had a book. ...The impetus for the book was just to be able to get bigger speaking gigs. …A human being has an enormous amount to give… There are so many distractions outwardly that we think are important… and have never been taught that there is something more special inside of us. …I believe purpose gives you a direction, when you have purpose than all the questions and challenges in life are extremely challenging. When you have purpose then you have something to measure those decisions against. ”    – Jeff Gitterman    Today's quote originates from the Holistic Business & Wealth Strategies interview that aired back on Oct 26, 2010 - Access the archived show via the hyper-lined title (above) -- Chatter -- Apologies to everyone expecting a Positive Eco-News segme...

-- Quote of the Day -- " There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving,  And that's your own self. So you have to begin there, not outside, not on other people.
