Mentors...You Can't Succeed Without Them!
2007-05-02 14:40:00
Mentors...You Can't Succeed Without Them!Copyright © Scott BradleyHaving a mentor is essential to your success.The reason for this is because a mentor who has done what you want to do, and has the lifestyle that you want to have, has been right where you are before.Mentors have learned, what works, what doesn't work, and knows the fastest and most efficient path to where they are today...They have made the mistakes...and learned what not to do...Since you want to be where they are, learning from them is like reading 1000 books on the same topic. The reason mentors are important to have in your life is because they have the experience to guide you to your destination. They are a person to fall back on...to pick you up when you are down or are there to support you when faced with some type of adversity working to achieve your goal. I have many mentors of my own in all different industries. They have helped me so much in showing me what books to read, how to do certain things that most


The Greatest Things In Life Aren't Things...
2007-04-28 21:10:00
The Greatest Things In Life Aren't Things...Copyright © Scott Bradley"The greatest things in life aren't things, they are the relationships you have with each other, because in the end, those relationships are the only things that we take with us on into the future."In the book, "7 Habits of Highly Effective People," Stephen Covey states that one of the 7 habits is to "Begin with the End in mind". When you think about it, when we are on our death bed, the only "things" we will want around us...are those people who we build know, like and trust relationships with.We are not going to care how much money is in the bank, or how many trophies are in our shadow box, or how many signed jerseys or cards that we have in our collection, or how many awards we won, or how many homes, cars or toys we have...because in the end it does not matter...you won't be able to take those things with you.The only thing we are going to care about is how many people will be able to come and say goodbye to u


How To Use Social Networking Sites Effectively
2007-04-25 17:07:00
How To Use Social Networking Sites Effectively Copyright © Scott BradleyWith the creation of Facebook and Myspace, it has completely revolutionized the online world. Everywhere you see web 2.0 companies are springing up everywhere.With these new companies, it has provided a place where you virtually have the entire network at your fingertips. Marketers abroad are starting to use these social networking sites to help grow their business, and build their network of like minded people.Unfortunately, even though these sites are very powerful places of influence, it is a shame that we all have to battle SPAM. I have to say that I get about 2-3 spam messages a week having someone pitching a product or trying to get me into their network marketing deal. I am sure we have all been there and done that.With that being said, that is not what this post is about. What I want to reflect on today is..."How can you leverage sites like these to truly build your network one quality person at a time?"Fro

Essential Keys to Networking Effectively

Essential Keys To Networking Effectively Copyright © Scott BradleyOne thing to keep in mind as you build your network, and build those trusting relationships with people that may be a friend for life, or a business partner down the road, is to know and realize that..."People LOVE to talk about themselves."Have you ever gone to a career fair, or party and started a conversation with someone and only really focused on you and what YOU were about? How did the other person react? Were they receptive to listening to what you had to say? Did the conversation last a long time or short period of time? Think about it. Think about the last time you had a conversation with someone you didn't initially know. How did it go? Did you get their contact information wanting to contact them again, to build the relationship further, or did it just fizzle out?You see...if you are one of those people who loves to ONLY talk about themselves when meeting new people, from my own personal experience, and learn

There are 2 Games In Life
2007-04-25 15:49:00
The other day I was thinking...as I always do...about life.I was thinking how can I boil life down to what it really is.I know it sounds really philosophical...but after thinking about it I have boiled life down to two things.1. The first game you play in life is the "Money Game"2. The second game you play in life is the "Relationship Game"Let me explain...In this lifetime we have to figure out a way for us to not have to rely on someone else to help us continue to live. We as human individuals need to figure out a way to support ourselves on our own by having some sort of revenue coming in month after month. Due to the undeniable fact that we all can't work forever, we need to try and figure out how we can win this "Money Game." Winning the game is simple, but not easy. Figure out a way you can make more money work for you to help you produce enough income on a monthly basis to support your lifestyleI know, I know...sounds simple right? As we go through life we think that people who

Do You Think Different?
2007-04-25 05:34:00
Yesterday as Ben Casnocha came to speak to the Boston College Entrepreneur Society, he opened up his presentation with this poem. It really touched me and really set the tone for his presentation. Sure enough today I had the time to take a look at this ad.As I was watching it, it sent chills down my back, because it hit me that the only way to continually grow in society we must continually strive to think outside of the box. Enjoy!Scott Bradley


Failure Is Part Of The Success Equation
2007-04-24 13:59:00
Failure Is Part Of The Success Equation Copyright © Scott BradleyI was sitting there thinking the other day about how the majority of successful people have more often than not failed the most. One may think that only those that are successful never have failed...the problem with that thinking is that it is not true.From my research, those who have achieved the success most people seek, are those who have learned that Failure is truly part of the Success Equation. I also believe there are other things that are part of the success equation...The other things I personally believe are...FailureAdversityCommitmentDeterminationHard WorkNetworkResourcesVisionPassionEnthusiasmOut of all of those factors, the two factors on the list that most people wouldn't even think about being there are Failure and Adversity.As my law professor has said, "Adversity is what introduces us to ourselves."It is only after you have failed, and struggled through a time in your life that you truly get to know who


How Are You Spending Your Dash?

How Are You Spending Your Dash?Copyright © Scott BradleySo there I was the other day. I sat down at my computer and opened up my e-mail. As I was going through some of the daily things I get in my inbox I came across an e-mail that was intriguing. The e-mail instructed me to go to this website to watch a movie. The movie was titled, “The Dash Movie." Upon clicking the link to the movie I was thinking, “What the hell is my dash, and what does it mean to me"As I was watching “The Dash Movie" it was not what I expected. In the beginning of the film when they were referring to “dash"…they were talking about the "little line" in-between the dates on your tombstone. As I was watching this movie, the reality that we all only get one "dash" in life, but have so many ways to live it was resonating with me. This realization of time, and how precious it truly is to each one of us, never really occurred to me until I saw this movie. What this movie reiterated to me was how we all have t


The World Is Ruled By "C" Students

The World Is Ruled by "C" StudentsCopyright © Scott BradleyHave you ever heard the phrase..."The World Is Ruled by 'C' Students"?I think the first time I heard this statement, it came from Robert Kiyosaki in one of his first Rich Dad Poor Dad books. After thinking about it, and looking at the stories of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Cuban and many others who never graduated college, or didn't do too well in school, you have to wonder...how did they make it? How did these sub-par individuals, based on societies standards at the time, build these massive companies if they didn't do too well in school, or never even finished?Well after thinking about the phrase "The World Is Ruled by "C Students"...I have come to this conclusion...*The C students are smart enough to realize that they don't have to be an expert in everything, and are smart enough to leverage the efforts of the A students who can do whatever task better than them. The C students realize that they physically can't do e

More About "C Students"Copyright © Scott BradleyI just finished talking to my friend on facebook...one who I met using the tips and techniques that I talk about in Using Social Networking Sites Effectively.......he was talking to me about my previous post about how "The World Is Ruled by "C Students."He shared these two quotes with me from the book he is reading called "Talent is Never Enough" by John Maxwell. I felt they were really interesting and wanted to share them with you all...The quotes from the book were..."More than 50 percent of all CEO's of Fortune 500 companies had C or C- averages in college.""More than 50 percent of millionaire entrepreneurs never finished college!"My friend also mentioned that..."This isn't to say, 'forget about education', but as John Maxwell says talent is really never enough. But for every mile of road, there are two miles of ditches. One of his counter examples to where talent is necessary, is an olympic level high-jumper that can jump 7 feet.

Apple...Wal Mart...Facebook...Myspace...Google...Target...YahooWhen you think about these people what comes to mind? Bill Gates...Steve Jobs...Donald Trump...Robert Kiyosaki...Jim Rohn...Tony Robbins...Dale CarnegieI don't know about you...but when I immediately think about these people and companies, an image, thought, and feeling comes over me...A feeling that is either positive, fun, interesting, amazing, or just plain inspiring. The images of, big, powerful, successful and innovative hit my consciousness one by one...The thoughts of "Amazing Guy", "Awesome Company", "Innovative Environment", or "Value Added Content" also come to mind as my eyes scan across the brand.

Selling...We All Are Doing It...We Just Don't Know ItCopyright © Scott BradleyWhether you know it or not, everything in life is selling.Let me explain... When you are taking time looking for a job...talking with recruiters from companies...handing out your resume and business cards...you are selling YOURSELF...whether they take you or not...is out of your control.When you are taking time looking for a date, or are dating for that matter...You are selling yourself to the other person to show them who you are, so hopefully it will lead to a relationship down the road...whether they take you or not...is out of your control.When you are selling a particular good/service, showing others why it fills the need or want they have...you are selling that good/service...whether they take it or not...is out of your control.When parenting...you are selling to your children the beliefs and values you feel they should live by as they get older...whether they adopt them or not...is out of your contro


What's Your Desired End Result?
2007-06-17 10:39:00
What's Your Desired End Result ?Copyright © Scott BradleySteven Covey states, in his book the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People..."Begin with the end in mind." If you haven't already done so I would highly recommend that you get this book. This is the very first habit he talks about, and truly puts it in a way that hits you where it hurts. He says...Imagine you are on your deathbed...How does it feel? Have you accomplished everything that you wanted to? Have you traveled to where you want to go? Have you seen and met the people you had wanted to see and meet? He further goes to hit you harder with...What do you think the people will say at your funeral and wake? How would it make you feel? Is it what you would want them to say? Now this habit of beginning with the end in mind, can further be applied to your business, or further anything that you want to get done in your life. For example...If one of your desired end results is writing a book and distributing it in a book store...th


How To Network Effectively Using Instant Messaging
2007-06-22 20:45:00
How To Network Effectively Using Instant Messaging Copyright © Scott BradleyAside from using social networking sites to meet people, I also like to use Instant Messaging to meet and network with like-minded individuals as well.I learned this craft from a man who built his network marketing business using instant messaging. After going through his course, it made me feel like I had the world at my fingertips...and to be frank...the contacts and friendships I have built using instant messaging have been life-changing.The man who taught me how to do this is named Max Steingart. He is a veteran network marketer and is teaching people how to meet people online, and further teaching people how to build those know like and trust relationships with people using the power of instant messaging.Initially when I heard about this I was skeptical...but when I started applying these techniques to meet other like minded individuals...a whole new world opened up for me.So you are probably sitting there


Are You On Linked-In Yet?
2007-06-28 20:21:00
I wanted to keep this post short and sweet.As you know I love networking and I was thinking the other day...to keep this blog rolling and to change things up a bit...I should share a website with you that will help you with your networking efforts. That website is called Linked-In. With this website you can connect to other professionals in your line and field of work, as well as with personal friends you met in high school and college. The power in this website is that when you connect to your friends...you can see your friends contacts and see what professional positions they hold and what industries they are in. Imagine being able to check out all of your friends professional contacts to see if they can help you before you have to ask your friends and business people for help. If you saw someone that you needed for your business in one of your friends contact lists...you could simply ask your friend to introduce you to them. I think I have about 27 contacts frontline to me...and jus

Be A Resource To Your NetworkCopyright © Scott BradleyHave you ever networked with someone only to later discover that they were networking you just to use you for their means to an end and couldn't care less about your personal situation? How did it make you feel? Did it encourage you to want to help that person in the future?In the world that we live in networking is essential to get to where we all want to go...but when networking we must keep the other persons best interests in mind. What do I mean by this? I mean that when networking...aside from utilizing the other person for their personal network or their services, don't forget to let them know how you can be a resource to them as well...to further create a synergistic bond between you and them.You can be a resource to your networked contacts many ways...Here are a few: 1) Freely sending referrals to people in your network2) Talking about them on your blog...about the services they provide or their business...and how it help

Short Term Pain...Long Term GainCopyright © Scott BradleyHas there ever been a time in your life where you took the easy route in the beginning but regretted it later?How did it make you feel knowing that you could have prevented the disaster just by starting and doing things right to begin with? Why weren't you committed to doing the little things right up front?...was it because they were too "painful?"On the flipside...Has there ever been a time in your life where you put your nose to the grindstone in the beginning of a project, doing all of the difficult and time consuming things correctly...which then led to enjoying the fruits of your labor when all was said and done? How awesome did it feel? During my sophomore year in college, I was introduced to this concept of "Short Term Pain...Long Term Gain" and on the flipside "Short Term Gain...Long Term Pain" in a class I took. As you notice...the words can be switched to read either positively or negatively. Peter Bell, the used to

Got a Business Card? Part 2Copyright © Scott BradleyOk so you just gave that person your business card and you received theirs...You may be asking yourself..."Ok what’s next?"Well...Before I give you the answer...Think about it...How could you make a bigger impact on that person to help you set yourself apart from the rest? What unique gesture could you do to grow the relationship you started stronger? You have all of their information, e-mail, and phone number...You may be thinking...I will just e-mail them thanking them for their time, and telling them it was a pleasure meeting them...That is a good idea, but think about all the "other people" that will be doing that same thing...Think deeper...How could you take the e-mail that you send to them after meeting them to the next level...What kind gesture could you carry out to add the cherry on top to your relationship with the person to where they will immediately know you when you pick up the phone to call them...?Ok...enough with

Effective Networking Management System

Effective Networking Management System Copyright © Scott BradleyDo you feel overwhelmed when it comes to keeping up with your network?Between your Facebook, Myspace, and YouTube profiles...is it just too overwhelming keeping track of everyone you know?Are you still using an old address book...finding that you have to change it every year because people keep changing their info on you?If you answered yes to any of these questions you are probably not alone!Keeping in touch with your network as it continues to grow is crucial to your long-term success as you move through life. If you make a contact, hit it off great in the beginning but don't contact them ever again, it may be difficult to pick up where you left off. Most of the old methods of keeping in touch with your network are just not as efficient these days due to the massive inflow of information we all have to deal with on a day to day basis.With the web 2.0 boom, networking with someone has become automatic and commonplace...

Tap Your Inherent Relationship Building Skills by Guest Blogger Jason Jacobshon

Jason Jacobsohn of Networking Insight is the latest blogger who has just written a guest article.Tap Your Inherent Relationship Building Skills Whether you know it or not, you were born with the natural ability to meet people and build relationships. Even if you don’t spend much time proactively building relationships, you should be able to point to numerous examples of relationship buildings such as with friends, co-workers, doctors, etc. We are all born with the ability to connect; just some of us utilize this skill more than others.Don’t Be a HermitAs long as you are not a hermit, you interact with people every day such as a bus driver, person at the dry cleaners, and clerk at the local convenience store. However, you may not have a solid business network to draw upon. This is okay because it is never too late to start and chances are that you probably have more people in your network than you think you do.Take a trip down memory lane and think about the relationships you hav

Effective Networking Using Forums Part 1Copyright © Scott BradleyHave you ever been on an internet forum? How did you use it? Did you have much fun participating in the many topics and discussions at hand?Utilizing the various internet forums to network is something I really enjoy doing. Not only is it a place to share ideas and talk about the industry you are in, but also it is a great place to meet targeted people in your particular niche. I first heard about internet forums my sophomore year in high school, and used it initially to seek other people out to talk to. The forums that I first participated in were the Rich Dad Forums. Sure enough my first post was something around the lines of "Have A Screen Name?" In the post I mentioned that I was looking to talk with other people who read Rich Dad Poor Dad. At the time I really had no idea I was "Networking" so to speak, but I really just wanted to talk with other people I could relate to. I ended up finding someone, and met for coff

How To Effectively Stay Consistent

How To Effectively Stay ConsistentCopyright © Scott BradleyThe other day, someone left a comment on my "Growing or Dying" post about how she has a hard time staying consistent. I myself have been in that position before and know how discouraging it can feel. One minute you are doing one thing, and the next minute you are on to something else with no intended plan on where you are going and why you want to get there.Because of this...I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you what I am doing to help me stay consistent with my self- growth activites as well as my business building activities. I will then provide a solution for you to help you be more consistent in your lives with any activities you want to do on a weekly and monthly basis.In the book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" Stephen Covey talks about the importance of managing your time in one of the chapters. He even gives you an entire time managment sheet to use to help you be more consistent with all of you


Are You GROWING or DYING?

Are You GROWING or DYING?Copyright © Scott BradleyDo you ever think about the activities that you do on a daily basis? What do they include? Are they activities that are benefiting you and bringing you closer to your goals, or are they taking you farther and farther away from your intended path? If the latter is true, what are you doing to get back on the right track to achieve what it is that you want?I learned a long time ago that no matter where we are in our life, or what age we are, we are either growing as a person or dying as a person. Now we know we are all going to die, but when I talk about "dying" in regards to this post, I mean "Doing things that are not advancing us forward as an individual, and for that matter keeping us in the same place day in and day out emotionally, physically mentally and spiritually." When it comes to this principle of "Growing or Dying" there is no inbetween...or gray area for that matter. The things you are doing are either growing you from the i


Great Questions To Ask When Networking
2007-10-02 08:05:00
Networking has always been a joy of mine.Meeting and getting to know new and interesting people is always a lot of fun, because it is like a box of chocolates...when you walk into the room "You never know what you are going to get."When talking and communicating with someone I have found that there are some questions and language techniques that foster good conversation and others that stunt it and make it feel like it is a chore when talking to the other person.As far as making the conversation a chore, I have found from my experience that when you ask people Yes, or No questions it turns into a very one-sided interrogating exchange. It is almost like you are questioning them about each and every little thing about their life, without giving them the opportunity to share how they feel about something, or understand why they think about things the way they do.Questions to avoid...Do you like__________ (Fill in blank)?How old are you ______?Have you ever__________?When conversations flo

Great "Ice-Breakers " When NetworkingCopyright © Scott BradleyKnowing how to start a conversation is just as important as knowing how to carrying on one.Out of all the things to do when networking, starting the conversation is one of the most important things, because it is the very first action you take towards communicating with an individual. Typically, this initial exposure either warms the other person up to you, or turns them away...Depending on how you come off...There are many things you can do when meeting people at networking events or public places. Here are some things that have worked for me when meeting people for the first time.At Networking Events...1) Walk up to a person and introduce yourself by extending your hand out for a handshake and say, "Hi my name is Scott Bradley and I __________________ (fill in the blank)...what business are you in?

Using Facebook Applications To Help Your Networking Endeavors in the Web 2.0 World!
2007-10-17 08:47:00
I would like to apologize for not writing at all last week as everything has been super busy. The reason why I was not able to put any new beneficial content up for you is because the Network Marketing company I am partnered with is in the process of pre-launching a brand new energy drink into the marketplace. The energy drink is going to be launched into the 10 Billion dollar energy drink market and is innovative in its design and ingredients. Simply stated the energy drink is in a simple pocket packet that you dump into water then shake up. It is going to be cheaper than other energy drink brands on the market today ($1.50/drink) and gives you longer lasting energy with no headaches, jitters or crash. If you want some more info about this drink either send me an e-mail to let me know that you want to be an energy drink tester (my e-mail is in my profile), or go to http://www.CraveBuilder.com to get a free website to get yourself a position to take advantage of this opportunity.
