Introduction to Another AmSpirit Business Connections Member

Hello Everyone:

I'd like to introduce all of you to Joshua Wagner, a new member of the TGIF chapter. Joshua is a motivational speaker and life coach. His recent posting on his blog is very relevant to what we experience in our AmSpirit Business Connections chapters. He writes about how small deviations in direction can lead to being way off the mark in the end.

Think about your experience in your chapters. How often have you witnessed chapters that begin deviating from the proven formula and end up losing members or falling into mediocrity?

Read Josh's blog here to be entertained and reminded of why it's important to 'stay on course'.

Putting Others First

The next time you attend a networking event, be deliberate in your efforts to help others. Seek out new people to chat with, ask questions about their business, and ask how you can help them as far as getting business leads or making introductions.

Too often I run into people at events that are so driven to talk about themselves and care nothing about listening to anyone else. These people fail at connecting with anyone because they're perceived as selfish.

Do you know the best part about helping someone else find leads or making introductions? They'll usually feel inclined to return the favor!
