Ok Young Hustlers, start Networking

Ok, well I was thinking of what I could post that I think would help you all tomorrow, and this came to my mind.

Image is everything.

This has been stated many times, and I started off saying this 1st because of the concept of Networking and building positive relationships that can benefit you.

Networking can lead to leads, referrals, friends with connections, giving you connections, and etc.

This is a very powerful tool in the Entrepreneur world.

Networking can lead you to your next sale, or your next partner.

I am going to give you 10Important steps in which I believe will help you network Successfully, and get those Connections that can help you make bank.

1. Image Is Everything
Dress to impress, this is what my Ex boss used to say. I believe this is true in all aspects of life.
For example, some say that people would rather give their money to the guy who looks like a stock broker, drives a nice car, and acts like he knows it, than an analytical stock genius who couldn't play the role if he wanted too. Dress well, this is key.

2. Smile, and be positive
Smiling can overall increase your likeability by alot, and you will radiate with happiness, and happiness and sadness is like a contagious disease, it travels amongst people.

3. Project Self Image
This has to do with Dressing good, but also good eye contact, a good handshake and proper vocabulary. You want to put an image of the way you are in someones head, like branding, and by doing this they can remember you in a good way.

4. *Be Friendly*
This should be #1 really, because No One likes talking to an A-hole.
So be nice, and in this way people will be more apt to trust you.

5. Be Genuine
When trying to connect, take a genuine interest in other people before you own personal agenda. This way, they will trust you even more.

6. The Actions
People remember every action you take, its like the mentally record all those moments, and then later on the replay them back, so try not to give them bad memories of you, and try be 1st class. Have some finesse, class, and be a gentlemen. People trust nice guys.

7.Provide Value
Always provide some kind of value to what you are doing. You want to have the person you are trying to connect with want to talk to you, or want your service, so make sure you do something that makes a difference to them, or do something that will personally help them to make you seem alt better. Go out of your way. This is key.

8.Stay In Touch
Staying in touch is a bigger battle than getting the connection, Stay contacted with you most important contacts, to get the most out of networking. It is very hard to just call someone out of the blue.

9.Be Prepared
Be ready for anything. Have a business card, or whatever you think you will need before meeting or trying to connect with the contact.

10. Take Risks
You will never make that golden contact with ought taking them, so take risks. You will get lucky, so do it.

Drmoney's Entrepreneur Secret #1

In my entire life one of the most valued pieces of information I think I can give is the simple fact about working together. Having a team has many great qualities and I think some miss out on this.
If you have your click, your gang, your partner, your crew, or just some friends who want to make cash who have one of the 1st ingredients necessary for success. One of you may be the idea guy,one may be the really smart lazy guy, the other could be the really excited "Ge it Done guy".
With this combination the outcomes are endless. Just think of the combo here-
The Idea guy--gets and Idea--The Get it Done guy gets excited--and convinces the smart guy (I like to think of this guy as the technical programmer or technician in this case) To get on the job.
And this cycle repeats.

This combo=Results. Results= Success. Success could equal that financial success all of us yearn for in life.

I feel that everyone should find their partner, or team and succeed together. This is not only for beneficial purposes, but the journey to the top is so much better with a friend(s). All of you can be happy and have a greater friendship for this. And friendship is also a great thing to have in life just to simply be happy.

I have found my team and we are great together, If this is something you haven't tried-Try it-

But make sure you do the right picking, their are a lot of bad unethical people out their that you have to watch out for.

Getting the Most out of Google Accounts and Services PART 1

I know you all have heard of Google accounts and Gmail.com. But what most people don't realize is its power to help with brainstorming ideas, collaborating, and developing for business startups. I'm going to show you how to get the most out of what Google has to offer in order to aid you in online business creation.

First, if you don't have a Gmail or Google account, sign up here or here.
Then be sure to have your potential business partner(s) do the same. You can add them to your contact list for easy access.






Google has a cool service called Google Docs and Spreadsheets, it used to be the online application Writely. Once you are logged onto your Google account, go to Google Docs and Spreadsheets. Next, click on New Document. As you can see it is your basic word processor. Now you can start adding info. Maybe write some business name ideas, site outlines, possible domains or whatever.
Now here's the cool part. Click on the blue Collaborate tab on the top right of the document. You can choose to add collaborators(able to edit doc) or viewers(unable to edit doc) by simply typing in their Google Accounts. Make sure that the people you are sending to are currently online. Once they receive the message, then can navigate to the document as well and begin working on it with you. You will notice that on the document, another blue tab labeled Discuss has been added. Click this tab. Here you will be able to chat back and forth, exchanging ideas with your partner. If the document you are working on is an article or some type of press release, Google makes it easy to publish it straight to your blog. The last blue tab, labeled Publish, allows you to publish the document to a blog, or to a website.

Check back later when we talk about more services Google has to offer to teen entrepreneurs and startups!
