How to Network Effectively (IN MUSIC OR ANY OTHER FIELD INVOLVING CREATIVE ART/THOUGHT)

First off, you really have to develop your own personality first before you start trying to sell a product, your artwork, songs or even a service.

Next, you have to believe in the product like you know your name. Like it's a fact.

Then, you need to become animated with it's description - because in life - you sell EVERYTHING. point in case: ever had a friend tell you something interesting and then you told someone else to let them know about it. BAM - that fact was SOLD to you. You believed it - in it even.

So it's the same for almost anything else. Attention is said to be the, MOST BASIC FORM OF LOVE. And when you communicate what your selling or networking about, with a smile - it speaks volumes about everything that's going on behind the scenes of your mind, heart, and gut.

For most people, they will never know what it's like to be 100% passionate and totally committed to something - to the level of mastery. But for people like us (you know who you are), it's just something that we really don't want to choose NOT to do. How can we not - be ourselves. What this comes down to is being true to yourself will allow you to be true to other people. But if you're living a lie - or worse, selling one...then that's where lives start to get incongruent and out of balance.

2010 seems to be a year to gain and maintain a sense of added balance. And what better way to do that than to give back to the people who you care about. Or even reverse of that - pay it forward; makes sure a complete stranger benefits from a talent that you possess, and never communicate with them again. make it completely anonymous. don't give the other person the opportunity to "pay you back".

PAY IT FORWARD.

Teach someone something that will help them to "fish". Find solutions. That's what winners do - they have no other choice but to find success and blessing wherever they go and with whatever they're involved with.
I recommend this book/CD/DVD called Effortless Mastery. It discusses ways to think about loving what you're doing and becoming so enthralled with it all that it becomes fun. It's the farthest thing away from "Work" that you've experienced. It highlights the simplicity of life and the pursuit of happiness and a trade or hobby where you can become a master of something in a new way - something you never thought possible. But the key is that your thoughts on the matter is what this book is focusing on improving. WE, ARE THE CHANGE IN THE WORLD. :o)
