10 Easy Steps to Get More Customers with Networking

If you go to networking functions with the idea that you have to sell yourself, you're doing it wrong. Networking is about meeting others and building relationships. Here are ten steps to get the most from your networking.

Networking is a great way to meet people in a "non-selling" setting. So, don't sell. Meet and greet. Ask people about their businesses. Be friendly and relaxed. Enjoy yourself. Get to know people. Above all, do not sell.

If and when someone appears to meet your target criteria, ask for their business card. Then follow up with them later to see if there might be a fit.

Here are some ideas to help you get the most from your networking:

1. Set a time budget each week or month for your networking. Plan to attend a specific number of meetings or events at which you can network. Make sure your other tasks and responsibilities fit around these meetings. It's best to balance networking with your other lead generating activities. This way you can measure the value of your networking leads against the time spent acquiring them.

2. Pick networking opportunities that put you face to face with people most likely to need what you offer. Or try to meet people who can connect you with people who need what you offer. Both are good prospects.

3. Understand why you're there - to begin relationships - not to sell. Networking is the first step in a long dance. Don't rush.

4. Don't give your cards to everyone. Save your money and some trees. Hand out your card only to people who ask for it.

5. Ask people questions. Learn about them and their business. This is how you pre-qualify them. If they meet your target criteria ask for their card. If not, don't.

6. Don't sell yourself. It's okay to tell people what you do. Give your "30 second commercial" but stop after that. You're there to gather information and to meet people, not to sell.

7. People love people who are interested in them. Ask questions, listen and engage people. This is the fastest way to develop rapport with someone. It's also the best way to determine quickly if they're someone you should be doing business with.

8. Have fun, relax and enjoy yourself. People like being around people who are relaxed and having fun.

9. Don't corner people and don't get cornered. Manage your time and conversation so you can meet enough people to justify your time spent networking.

10. Offer referrals. The best way to begin a relationship is by giving someone something - like a referral. It doesn't cost you anything. If they're the kind of person you want to do business with, they'll reciprocate and a valuable, long-tem business relationship could develop.

Networking is a time-honored way of developing business relationships. It can be done in networking groups or clubs. It can be done through Chambers of Commerce. It can be done anywhere you meet people. If you are active in your community or industry, you can easily network. Some people "network" while shopping for groceries!

It all depends on your attitude and your focus. The more people you meet who might need your product or service, the more potential customers you can have.

How to Bypass Right Click Block on Any Website

You might remember an experience where you tried to right-click on a web page but got a pop-up message saying that the “right-click functionality has been disabled”. Sometimes you may be trying to copy an image or view the source of a web page but when the right-click is disabled, these things would seem impossible. Bank websites and other sites that require a secure transaction such as a payment gateway are the ones to impose this kind of limited functionality on their pages. In this post, I will show you the ways by which you can easily bypass right-click block feature on any website.

In order to block the right-click activity, most websites make use of JavaScript which is one of the popular scripting languages used to enhance functionality, improve user experience and provide rich interactive features. In addition to this, it can also be used to strengthen the website’s security by adding some of the simple security features such as disabling right-click, protecting images, hiding or masking parts of a web page and so on.

How JavaScript Works?

Before you proceed to the next part which tells you how to disable the JavaScript functionality and bypass any of the restrictions imposed by it, it would be worthwhile for you to take up a minute to understand how JavaScript works.

JavaScript is a client side scripting language (in most cases), which means when loaded it runs from your own web browser. Most modern browsers including IE, Firefox, Chrome and others support JavaScript so that they can interpret the code and carry out actions that are defined in the script. In other words, it is your browser which is acting upon the instruction of JavaScript to carry out the defined actions such as blocking the right-click activity. So, disabling the JavaScript support on your browser can be a simple solution to bypass all the restrictions imposed by the website.

How to Disable the JavaScript?

Here is a step-by-step procedure to disable JavaScript on different browsers:

For Internet Explorer:

If you are using IE, just follow the steps below:

1. From the menu bar, go to Tools -> Internet Options.
2. In the “Internet Options” window, switch to Security tab and click on the button Custom level…

3. From the Security Settings, look for the option Active scripting and select the Disable radio button as shown above and click on “OK”.
4. You may even select the Prompt radio button, so that each time a page is loaded, you will have the option to either enable or disable the scripting.

For Google Chrome:

If you are using Chrome, you can disable the JavaScript by following the steps below:

1. Click on the Chrome “menu” button (on the top right corner) and select Tools.
2. From the “Settings” page, click on Show advanced settings…
3. Now under Privacy, click on the button Content settings…

4. Under the JavaScript, select the radio button which says “Do not allow any site to run JavaScript” and click on “Done”.

For Mozilla Firefox:

Steps to disable JavaScript on Firefox:

1. From the menu bar, click on Tools -> Options.
2. From the Options window, switch to Content tab, uncheck the option which says “Enable JavaScript” and click on “OK”.

How to Bypass the Right Click Block?

In order to bypass the right-click block or any other restriction imposed by JavaScript, all you need to do is just disable it in the browser and refresh the same page, so that it now reloads without JavaScript functionality. You are now free to right-click on the page, view its source or even copy any of the images that you may want to. Don’t forget to re-enable the JavaScript once again when your job is over. Otherwise lack of JavaScript support may result in unusual rendering of web pages.

Stop Any Argument in Three Simple Steps

Ever found yourself in the middle of a heated debate with someone and wish you could turn it into something more productive? Here are three simple things you can do to stop any argument in its tracks.

Do you need to stop arguments? These three steps will turn almost any argument into a productive discussion in less than five minutes.

1. Go to the bathroom. When you are in the throes of an argument or difficult discussion, just say, "I really want to have this conversation, but first, please excuse me I must go to the bathroom." Interrupting the argument will give each of you a chance to cool down and collect your thoughts.

If you are on the telephone, say "Excuse me for a moment, I have to handle a call on the other line." If you are on a cell phone, break the connection in the middle of one of your own sentences. Call back a few minutes later and apologize for being cut off.

2. Use your break time to think. Decide what you really want to accomplish by turning the argument into a discussion. Get very clear about your own objectives.

3. Return to the conversation, summarize the argument so far, and then ask politely what the other person wants the outcome of the conversation to be.

These steps work because they give each of you a chance to think instead of react to what has been happening. And neither of you needs to lose face or look weak or act disrespectfully.

When you approach any conversation with your goal in mind, you are far more likely to achieve it than you are in the heat of an argument. When you ask others their goals, they too must think about what they want to accomplish.

When you create a productive discussion, you create mutual respect and the opportunity for excellent future relationships.

The Secrets to Reducing Stress and Living Abundantly

"Nothing matters so much that we should throw ourselves into a state of panic about it. No happening is so important that we should let ourselves be exiled from inner peace and mental calm for its sake." ~ Paul Brunton

Learning how to reduce stress is the golden key to manifesting abundance in our lives. When we are living a stress free lifestyle we have extra energy, creativity and a fun feeling that anything is possible!  We take the time to create the things we really want to do, have and become in our lives.  Each time we allow ourselves to become stressed out about not having enough time, money or energy, we shrink and feel less capable of manifesting our dream. When we can create a healthier relationship with whatever we feel is stressful, we discover a new energetic source inside.  Our real creativity opens the very moment we let go of the thing we assumed was going to be a toxic drain we had to cope with.

So what is it that you find is stressful in your life?  Is there a certain task, job, or person who constantly makes you anxious and filled with fear?  One of the most interesting things about stress is that it is a psychological disease which can be instantly shifted by changing the belief systems in the mind.  For example, if you have an intolerant boss who is constantly pushing you to be more productive, this intense energy could serve to motivate you or may create extra tension.  It all depends on your relationship with your boss.  By consciously approaching your boss with compassion, understanding the true emotional pain they are battling with inside, the stressful pressure is suddenly removed from you and also dissipates from your boss as well.

"Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible."  ~Frank Zappa

When you take a closer look at what "stress" actually is and how it is created, what do you notice?  Many of us will blame the outer world, saying this person, event, time agenda or situation is causing us to feel stressed out and is the real problem.  Yet, honestly is this blaming approach really empowering us to be stress free?  Whenever we point the finger outside ourselves, we are missing the grand opportunity to grab hold of our inner steering wheel and direct it towards manifesting a life that we love.

The choice is always there to be responsible or irresponsible about the stressful situation we are dealing with.  We always have the option to say this situation is too much, beyond our control and can let it all go.  We also can take the path of seeing it is something that can be easily shifted with a little more time, love and patience. Ultimately in the end what matters is how we feel about ourselves inside. Whenever we take full ownership of where we are creating our own inner tension, we awaken our most empowered self and discover the greatest gift of being perpetually free from stress on the inside. 

A stress free lifestyle is easily created by prioritizing trust, patience and appreciation above everything else.  This approach is based in knowing we are connected with everyone and everything in a deep synchronicity, enveloped in the most impeccable cosmic timing one could imagine. This sweet stress free approach to life contains a natural spiritual acceptance that a higher intelligence is taking care of us. We know we don't have to be the general manager of the Universe, and always always have to keep our eyes on the road ahead. Instead, we can rest into this deep acceptance and appreciation that all is well right here and right now.  From here a profound feeling of abundance can enter. 

The very moment we release the white knuckled grip (we didn't know we had) on our life's steering wheel a miracle happens! We tend to relax and know that everything in life is going to work out for the highest good.  We enter each conversation knowing our lives are this natural amazing expression of this trust.  Every action we take comes from a place of not being attached to the outcome, yet curious as to how it may unfold.  We start to live a life that is without suffering and this contagiously spreads around to everyone that we know.

With a little practice you can easily reduce any level of stress by adopting a healthy daily routine that helps you harness the power behind the wild horses of the mind. Here's a few practical things you can do to immediately reduce the stress in your life this week:  Start your day with some form of exercise.  Do it first thing in the morning for at least 20 minutes, or until you break a sweat.  This means engaging in some physical movement you love doing that feels good to your body.  If you don't love it, it is creating a negative stress and impacting you in a psychological harmful way.  After you break a good sweet then do some yoga, stretching your body and relaxing into your heart.  Feel the presence of your own sweet soft surrendered presence inside.  Then sit for at least 15 minutes just watching the breath rise and fall.  Repeat the words, "All is well" or some mantra that makes you feel good inside.  Listen to life, nature or the sound of existence.  Spend as much time outside all week as you possibly can.

The secret to finding true freedom from stress comes from meditation.  By consistently meditating for at least 15-45 minutes everyday, we can instantly release lifetimes of stress.  By simply making a daily habit of creating a silent space to be quiet, alone and at ease it shifts something deep inside us.  Meditation gives you the gift of observing your thoughts and allowing them to pass over you like clouds. Once you can become detached from your thoughts, seeing that you have the choice to entertain one or not, you discover a greater peace and freedom inside.  You realize you are the sky in which the clouds are passing through.

 The process of learning to sit quietly in deep meditation can feel as challenging as climbing Mount Everest. The mind is always wanting to get involved and participate in some way.  Yet, meditation is a state of allowing, having no effort and being in total surrender.  You may find that the mind is efforting to allow your thoughts to just exist without getting attached to them. Any efforting at all will engage the mind and stop the blissful state of experience from occurring. Meditation is the greatest single thing you can practice to create a stress free existence.  By simply watching the mind, surrendering to what is, not having any agenda, and being aware of that which is already highly aware of itself very miraculous things will occur.

"God is there only if you surrender. Surrender makes anything God. Surrender gives you the eyes, and everything that is brought to these eyes becomes Divine." ~Osho

Another powerful thing to practice is being aware of when you're generating positive or negative stress. All positive stress comes from joy and excitement, and the latter from fear.  Both types of stress are 100% created from your attitude towards the outer world, which can be changed by shifting your mindset.  One child who sees a garden snake may run away screaming, while another will stop to curiously investigate it.  When we understand that ANY stressful outer event is NOT the actual cause of our pain, yet is always created by our mind's interpretation of the event, then we can take our power back and turn a negatively stressful event into a positive encounter.  The more we understand the cause of our anxiety or tension, and how and why we created it, we can then recalibrate our mind to develop a new approach and attitude about the situation.

It's vital to be aware of the power of negative stress in our lives, and is something to be dealt with and not ignored.  It is the killer of every dream, goal and fantastic adventure.  This hard heavy stress is very serious about life and is the underlying cause behind every disease known to mankind.  It is what creates the emotional tension, destroys marriages, creates feelings of poverty and is what blocks us from truly healing ourselves on every level.

All negative stress is created from a deeper resistance to life.  When we are not fully accepting what is, this is what initiates the cause of our pain.  When we judge that a certain person is not good for us, and we create a wall of resistance around them in our mind. Yet ultimately, where does this wall show up?  It is actually felt inside ourselves, protecting our own heart from getting hurt.  If this inner wall is not removed at some point, the consistent tension can produce painful emotional symptoms or even a physical illness down the road.

The person who lives a life filled with negative stress often functions like a horse with blinders. No matter what occurs, they continue walking straight ahead, thinking they have no choice where they are looking, and not able to see the beautiful planet they are actually living on.  These blinders are caused by very narrowed or fixed ideas about who we are, what will bring happiness, and where in life we are going.  This type of mindset is unable to stop and smell the flowers along the way.  The mind cannot open to the unknown, and misses out on the abundance of love, creativity and possibility that the Universe is penetrating us with in every direction.

The person who knows how to deal positively with stressful situations has developed the habit of seeing all 360 degrees of life.  They can see their judgment as it arises, welcoming the apparent source of negativity, and then look for some positive outcome to come out of it.  They don't make any assumptions that any event or person is good or bad, they simply step back and witness the mind if it creates a label or judgment. This allowing approach is perhaps the most enlightened approach to dealing with stress available.

The allowing approach gives space for the negative experience to be there, yet does not give it any more energy.  The person can continuously be in love with life, open to each new moment and thinking positively about what life is giving them.  This is the most powerful manifesting mindset to adopt as the mind tends to exponentially expand in positive feelings and energy, thus increasing the ability to attract an abundance of positive things in the world.

"Those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane 
by those who could not hear the music." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

Through my years of working with clients in hypnotherapy I found the greatest secret to helping someone step through a negative stressful pattern was showing them how to stop being attached to the story inside the mind.  When a person could step back from their mind and see it as if they were watching a movie, viewing "their reality" from a more distant vantage point, they could realize that it's all happening inside the mind.  These people tended to have much less reaction to any future stressful or painful movie scenes. 

Another technique is simply noticing the source of the fear that is underneath it all.  What is the voice of the anxiety saying who is running the show?  Practice listening to what this negative voice is saying inside, yet don't buy into the emotional negativity.  Have compassion for this voice, hear the minute details of their story, yet practice listening for what it is that this challenging hurt voice really wants to experience. You may find the negative voice inside of you is the key that unlocks the door to the deepest healing you've ever had in your life.

"Don't rely on the mind for liberation, just have faith and act on it." ~Nisargadatta

Total freedom from stress happens as a by product of a relaxed open mind.  Most of us would agree how easy it is to become stressed around an overly demanding impatient person who also has complain-a-holic tendencies.  Yet, what if they are a teacher, training you in the mastery of life program on how to abide firmly in the positive manifesting mindset?  What if they are a spirit guide who is testing you, showing you how to set a healthy boundary with toxic people, instead of being a doormat who ignores taking care of yourself?  Sure you may not want to be socially rude by walking away the moment they start sharing all their complaints and dramas, yet if you don't take of you...who will?  When will be the right time to take care of and your heart's needs? 

When we develop a greater sensitive responsibility to ourselves, we are choosing to care for the deepest inner need of our heart.  This is the need to be met with love.  Coming from this place we are stepping onto the path to freedom and creating a stress free lifestyle.  By devoting yourself to taking care of your heart, and stepping away from any draining situation or relationship you are engaging in, you can instantly feel empowered and free again. What's amazing is that the stress you once felt with that person or situation can morph to become the most enormous feeling of liberation inside. You are then able to fully perceive the vastness of the Universe, feeling a true sense of divine relaxation all throughout your body.

The Secret to Waking Up in the New Age

"Being himself exactly the Supreme Being, but thinking himself to be separate from Him, (man) strives to become united to Him; what is stranger than this?" ~Ramana

Can you feel the shift? Yes, a massive positive change for this entire world is in the air! Everywhere you go there seems to be this feeling that something wonderful is happening to this planet and that the beings on it are truly waking up. Of course not everyone is always on board this enlightening train, yet there will be many jumping on the caboose when they see it really taking off! You may have noticed we are becoming part of a "green society" where the more alternate and environmentally friendly way is respected more than making money. Our society is realizing that the old conventional ways, that led to the poisoning of our air and the slow killing of our planet, are no longer an option. Something very conscious and deeply transformational is happening on a global scale and you are part of it!

"Stop imagining yourself being or doing this or that and the realization that you are the source and heart of all will dawn on you." ~Nisargadatta Maharaj

As divine manifesting beings, sometimes all we need is a good excuse to start choosing to live a more spiritually awakened existence. I received an email this week that said we are officially entering the Age of Aquarius. Remember the old song "Aquarius" from the movie Hair in the 70's? In the song they sing, "When the Moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars!" 

We are all being invited to shift our consciousness from being "me centered" to being "we centered". This your chance to have alot more FUN in your life and jump on board! This global awakening process is personal as well, for its about the realization of who we truly are. We are each divine infinite cosmic beings containing unlimited power and potentiality. To reach this deeper understanding of this truth, simply rest in the experience of profound inner peace. This feeling of true inner peace only happens when your paradigm is shifted constantly from "me" to "we".

"You are given the gifts of the gods, you create your reality according to you beliefs. Yours is the creative energy that makes your world. There are no limitations to the self except those you believe in." ~ Seth

If you stop and pay attention to what is here now, you can see that humanity is evolving at a much faster rate than even 5 years ago. We just cannot help but grow when even a few beings on this planet have realized this divine infinite sacred aspect within themselves. A new kind of human being is being born inside all of us. This is the dawning of the New Age; a time where each being will be attuned to the divine within, guided by intuition, and illuminating the world to be a brighter place from their own awakened consciousness. Only from a place of being more sensitive can we attune to the higher frequencies and discover a truly divine experience within and see the greater reason why we are truly here.

"Look within. Be still. Free from fear and attachment, Know the sweet joy of living in the way." ~Buddha

As the world continues to wake up, the number of enlightened beings will naturally multiply and in time create a whole new world. This global enlightenment will create a foundation of peace for this planet for the first time in many millennia. Our planet is about to give birth to billions of heart-centered open minded people, and nobody is going to miss this massive enlightening ride! In order to jump on this global train ride to enlightenment sooner (than later), it’s imperative to learn how to find absolute stillness inside. This is the secret to waking up and experiencing this new age happening around you. Only when your mind is still and silent, like a lake without any ripples, can you truly see clearly. You will know things you could not know, see things you wouldn't see, and feel this sacred energy within everything and everyone.

"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly." ~Richard Bach

When you find this silence and stillness within yourself, you will awaken others to their highest possible experience of life automatically. When you can find this simple enlightening stillness within, you'll be able to take on any circumstance life offers you with a peaceful heart and joyful mind. You will truly understand the vast unlimited potentiality you have inside to offer the world! Step into your greatest stillness and start meditation practice today.
