Principles of Networking Series: Introduction

 
Networking and Influence leads to owning your own undefeated ABA basketball team.

Welcome to Dale Carnegie's course in networking.  Actually it's his book entitled, "How to Win Friends and Influence People," released in 1936 by Dale Carnegie, sold more than 15 million copies, and is still one of the best known motivational books in history.  If you do what he tells you to do, it will change your life.  Not only will these lessons help you to increase your bottom line significantly, but it will help you better get along with family, friends, co-workers, etc.  You can never EVER go wrong in learning about people and how to influence them.  NEVER.

I will be posting one lesson per day, until we complete the book.  But before we do that I will begin this post with the nine suggestions on how to get the most out of this book.  They are:

1. Develop a deep, driving desire to master the principles of human relations.
2. Read each chapter twice before going on to the next one.
3. As you read, stop frequently to ask yourself how you can apply each suggestion.
4. Underscore each important idea.
5. Review this book each month.
6. Apply these principles at every opportunity.  Use this book as a working handbook to help you solve your daily problems.
7. Make a lively game out of your learning by offering your friend or family member a quarter or a dollar every time he or she catches you violating one of these principles.
8. Check up each week on the progress you are making.  Ask yourself what mistakes you have made, what improvement, what lessons you have learned for the future.
9. Start and maintain a journal, recording how and when you have applied these principles.

Now in reviewing these principles of Dale Carnegie, you may say, this is too much, and if you are thinking or saying that, you are absolutely right.  These lessons are for the elect few who are sick and tired of being sick and tired, those few who want something different, and know to get something different you have to DO something different.  These lessons are for those who who have millionaire mindsets or for those who really want millionaire mindsets.  These lessons are for those who have the stamina and the strength to PUSH past mediocre into greatness.  Are you ready?  If, so, see you tomorrow.
