Social Networking Principle #1: An Introduction is an Endorsement
When a friend of mine asks to be introduced to another one of my friends, I usually never think twice about it and I just make the introduction. I have no issues connecting two people who are friends of mine to each other. And many times I have been the one who made the first move in introducing two friends of mine to each other. One thing I would almost never do is introduce a total stranger to a friend since I generally wouldnt want this happening to myself. As Social Networking continue to ...

Forbes.com even asked the question, Has Google Changed The World? from many well known people. For some odd reason they decided to seek my thoughts. Gandhi changed the world. The steam engine c...
Sometimes You Need to Put Yourself in MOTION
Sometimes you have to be in it to win it - NY Lotto There are times where you need to put yourself into the mix in order to take advantage of opportunities. Sure, there will be times in your life where an opportunity will seek you out. But for all other times, if you are not around, that chance meeting isnt going to happen.
