TITLE: It's all about SHOWING UP and the POWER is in the Asking

Showing up is Networking…Motter's definition. "A Way of reaching out to the universe to get whatever it is you are looking for in business and/or your personal life. This will also enable you to build some of the greatest business and personal relationships turning more contacts into CASH.

Showing up is like a treasure map, you never know when you show up just what the treasure might be. The key is to make sure you are SHOWING UP at the right places, so you need a roadmap for SHOWING UP.

You will leave here with skills and strategies in the following areas:

Create a Showing Up Roadmap

1. Where are you going?
2. What is the meeting or event about?
3. Who will be there?
4. What is it you do, and are you totally conveying this message to everyone you meet?
5. Have you defined what it is you need, so that you can communicate that to everyone you meet. If not, Why?
6. What are YOU doing to help others? Remember it's not what's in it for you.

How Do You Begin?
