Oh the POWER of networking. So you think you could never do this business called “network marketing” and I gotta say, “You’re wrong.”

You do it everyday–you just don’t realize it. Two weeks ago we had a yard sale and well like Jesse says, “I’ve never met a stranger.” I’ll talk to anyone. And it’s true.

Anyway, it was nearing the end of the yard sale and a guy comes up and bought a laptop case. He had a tattoo and I asked him about it and we just started talking.

He told he that he cuts trees down…funny Jesse and were just talking about cutting down two trees in our yard. I showed the trees to Jim and he said he could do it for $200. I don’t know about where you live–but around here that’s a hell of a deal.

I said that I had some business expenses to pay the next week and would not have the money until Friday. Jim said no problem–I’ll come by Monday and you can pay me Friday. Does that still happen today? How cool and trusting is that!!!

He got in touch with us on Monday and said something came up–and said he’d be back Wednesday. Sure enough he showed up Wednesday to cut the trees down–and we paid him Friday as promised.

Here are just a few pics of him working. We thought for sure he was going to drop that tree right on the pool. But he didn’t!

Rufus was nosey while all of this was going on. I think this picture is too funny.

Jim also found a bird nest in the tree. We moved it to another tree; momma bird came back later.

So the power of networking–remember that you do this everyday. Why make it so difficult when you start networking for your business. Jim got this job because he networked with me–a conversation–not forced–he shared with me his expertise. I hired him.

You’ve heard it before:

When you share a great movie with a friend–it’s networking

When you share a great movie with a friend–it’s networking

When you share you experience about a certain product–it’s networking

When you share your experiences with a friend–it’s networking

Why do you clam up about sharing your networking business?

For the past two nights I have worked until 4:00 AM and 5:00 AM respectively. I just wasn’t tired and I had a lot of work to do. But then I slept until noon today and I hate to do that. I felt like I slept the day away.

I don’t stay up that late very often; usually I’m in bed by 2-3 AM I can’t help it. I’m nocturnal. Always have been. When the girls were in high school they had jobs or cheer leading for games and would get home around midnight or so and we would always be up. That’s when we had our family time. Jesse would either cook them something or we would just site around and chat.

To this day my daughter will come over and visit and we’ll all be in the office talking, working, laughing till about 1-2 AM. I’m afraid my 5 year old granddaughter is the same way. That girl hates to go to bed.

This is just a rambling post about nothing in particular. I just had to write something.

Last night I was watching some of my older YouTube videos and I laughed and cried. I lost my Mom last year so when I watched the video where she is saying I love you! Well I lost it. Yup, cried like a big old baby. I miss you Mom.

It’s a little dark; but it’s Mom saying, “I Love You”

Anyway, just felt the need to share. Do you and your family share late night chats?
