6. Your dimples how merry

Yes, smile. Mix and mingle. Show off those “soft” skills that are directly related to your ability to network which is so very valuable to your employer. Get it?

7. Give a luster to objects below

Remember those whom you may be tempted to elbow past on your way to meet Big Guys at punch bowl will be there to sabotage your project Monday morning, I mean ^help you^. (As Dave Berry said, "If you're not nice to waiter, you're not a nice person.")

8. Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Now Prancer and Vixen!

Know names. Know how to introduce people to one another. Is it, “Mr. CEO, I’d like you to meet my wife, Clothtilde,” or is it “Clothtilde, this is my boss … owner of company …” You want to know all this before you get there. Study up! (Call your coach!)

9. And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself

I’m going to get serious here, because you don’t want to be doing anything, or having any reaction “in spite of yourself.” This is what EQ is all about. Me, 20 years in PR, and I could still be thrown momentarily. You will have emotional reactions, you’re human … such as when you’re meeting your senior partner’s wife for first time, and she staggers in dead drunk, making Tammy Faye look like a nun, and says, “No s***” when you’re introduced.

Or Tom, mailroom man, arrives with his two children, both in wheelchairs with cerebral palsy, and you didn’t know this, and you “don’t know what to say,” and Santa’s gifts for all kids will be skateboards.

10. And to all a good night?

Don’t be last to leave (or to arrive). It’s just not cool. But don’t dash away either; don’t be first to leave (or to arrive). Balance … moderation … self-management … EQ … if you want a sleigh full of toys. Susan Dunn, http://www.susandunn.cc

7. Know why you're doing this. If you don't have a big reason why you're doing this you'll quit when you start to have a hard time. The most successful network marketing leader I've known once told me he would literally jump out a window if he had to work in an office behind a desk all day. Knowing how bad he didn't want to do that led him to doing whatever it took in his business to succeed. He now makes over $10,000 a month in residuals from work he stopped doing 4 years ago with a network marketing company.

8. Test, test, and test again. What do I mean? When you run an ad track it to see if it's working. Ads with one word changed in headline have doubled responses. Try running your ad in same places with one or two words changed to see if it increases your response rate.

9. Build relationships with other internet marketers. Get free advice from other people who are doing what you want to do. Most successful people charge for their advice, but if you build a relationship and ask a question here and there in an e-mail, answer may be golden nugget of wisdom that you need. Don't bug them, but internet marketers are a pretty friendly and helpful bunch of people.

10. Invest in your self and in your business. You can run a business online for under $100.00 a month. Even if you aren't making money with it this won't keep you from paying your rent or mortgage. Invest extra money you have on products that teach you how to make most amount of money in shortest period of time. Listen to tapes and CDs, read books, get on free tele-seminars. Do everything you can to learn how to do this right so you don't waste years trying to figure it out.
