While having fun, you should still be conscious of
attracting money into your life. You may go on a long vacation, on a weekend getaway or out for an evening,
etc. The best places to have fun and attract money are where
wealthy and business people hang out. Networking with people can lead to new
business, a higher paying job, profitable joint venture deals, etc. Whether you're working or playing, our first
goal is to relax and have fun. We should also have goals or a set plan and be
focused to attract money when the right time or opportunity arrives. Keep money-attraction items with you
to hand out to people you
meet. It could be business cards, promo
items, resumes, etc. Have all your
contact information memorized or ready, i.e. phone numbers, emails, social pages, website
addresses, blog links, texts, virtual business information, etc.
Get prepared to meet people. If you
are shy or nervous at first, do some relaxing breathing techniques.
Don't be intimidated by business or wealthy people -- most of
them are friendly and down to earth. They are human just like you.
Think positive and imagine the rewarding experience ahead of time.
This means to act as-if you already have
the very thing you want to achieve by thinking and feeling it so. In this case,
you would imagine and feel yourself secure, confident, happy, relaxed, etc.
Introduce yourself, say "hi" and ask their
name. You could open the conversation with a compliment,
conversation-starters or open-ended questions. Pretend you are a reporter.
Further into the conversation, offer some good advice or how-to information.
Find a common connection. Also, make it
a point to use their name throughout the conversation. When appropriate,
use humor. Use entertaining short stories, humor,
vivid examples or descriptions and jokes. At the same time, listen to what
others have to say and laugh at their humor while being sincere. Also, use good
manners, etiquette and be polite. Use positive body language when having
conversations. Use good posture, smile, shake hands,
wink, keep eye contact, give pats on the back, talk with your hands, etc.
You also want to dress appropriately for the environment or
occasion.
Ask for people's contact information or business card. Ask permission to follow up with them later. You could ask for some referrals or give them some. You could follow up with a JV offer or invite them to an upcoming event or attraction. You don't want to take too much time from their free time. You want to have a brief, quality or productive conversation, not a long intrusive one. Remember, always communicate in satisfactory ways that will lead people to come back for more.
Encounter people at business events. It
could be at seminars, trade shows, workshops, parties, luncheons, award shows,
teleseminars, business social networks, clubs, organizations, associations, factory
or business tours, self-help success events, etc.
