Combining strong initiative with a network of colleagues, mentors and experts, they capitalize on human resources to build their business and bring their vision to life.<p>If you unleashed<IMG height=12 src="/the2.jpg" alt="repparttar 104740"> full power of your network, how would your business multiply?<p>Top Five Benefits of Activating Your Network:<p>- Resource Mobilization. Ask for what you want and need to move your business forward. Use<IMG height=12 src="/the2.jpg" alt="repparttar 104741"> question "Who do you know who?" to reap<IMG height=12 src="/the2.jpg" alt="repparttar 104742"> benefits of financial, business, or emotional assistance. By forming a specific request, you build trust and credibility. If you aren't sure what you need, request a brainstorming session with a trusted colleague to open up an avenue to clarity.<p>- If You Don't Ask, The Answer Is Always No. At a conference I attended, a film maker shared her experience making a documentary about women heads of state - presidents and prime ministers. An audience member asked her how she approached these leaders. Her response: "If I didn't ask,<IMG height=12 src="/the2.jpg" alt="repparttar 104743"> answer was always no."<p>- Watch "No" Turn Into "Yes." Recognize that "no" doesn't always mean "no". When you make a request of a colleague, mentor or expert, you've planted a seed in that person's mind. Don't be surprised when he or she approaches you and says, for example, "I don't have time to review your business plan right now, but I CAN hook you up with someone who's a crackerjack at it …" By and large, people enjoy helping others; it allows them to participate in your entrepreneurial vision. <br><br></font></td><!-- google_ad_section_end --></tr><tr><td>Cont'd on page 2 ==<a class="mlink" href="2-Are_You_Overlooking_Your_Best_Referral_Source-4740.htm">></a></td></tr></table><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-5766870852072819"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; google_ad_format = "728x90_as"; google_ad_channel ="8831454965"; google_color_border = "CFB9A1"; google_color_bg = "CFB9A1"; google_color_link = "000000"; google_color_url = "431B02"; google_color_text = "431B02"; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </td> </tr> </table> <table width="770" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td height="48" align="center" background="images/bg_nav_bottm.jpg"><span class="style3">ImproveHomeLife.com © 2005<br> <a href="terms.html" rel="nofollow">Terms of Use</a></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"> var HASH_ESCAPED="%23"; function TrackIt(adUnit){ if (window.status) { var adDomain = escape(window.status.substring(6)); var pyPage = document.location.pathname; var params = document.location.search; var hasAnchor = params.lastIndexOf(HASH_ESCAPED)!= -1; params = hasAnchor?
