Anyway, since then you have helped me shape a business plan that I am intrepidly wanting to take out of the design phase.

I just wanted to say thanks for the help…

I’ve got to see how the Mr. T angle plays out.

In regards to your question: “what can I/we do for you?,” I’d have to say:

1) Get more exposure for my business/productivity blog (My target is to hit 6000 subscribers by 12/31/08)
2) Connect with at least 12 high-level (6/7 figure a year) entrepreneurs/executives in 2008 and carry out productivity training with them, so that they become solid references for my productivity product sales.
3) Have Mr. T say “I pity da foo’ who don’t manage their time better with Dave!”

Well, #3 is a bit of a stretch …

Great timing on this post — I had my first “How can I help you?” experience just yesterday, and I found it extremely refreshing.

As a consultant for entrepreneurs, I love bringing two great people together who can complement one another. Even if I can only do something small for someone else, like answer a WordPress plug-in question, it’s satisfying knowing my day positively impacted someone else.

Right now, I’m looking to:

1) Get 10 new clients per month for my writing business, Writer in Your Corner (http://www.WriterInYourCorner.com). My specialties include website copy (original or rewriting what you’ve got), sales letters, and how-to guides, although I can write just about anything.

2) Get three new clients per month for my 30-Day Jumpstart to Success — unlimited access to me for 30 days to design (or re-design) your current organizational system so it brings you *freedom*, not restriction, by automating as much as possible, and getting highly-detailed action plans for all of your goals. It’s a lot easier to achieve anything if you have the entire path mapped out step-by-step. (I’m also available for smaller goal-setting projects.)

If I could spend all my time writing and helping others to get their goals, I might die of happiness

I have a few ideas for you, Jason, which I’ll be emailing over in a minute…

For example I have a friend who is fluent in Spanish (and English) and has her Ph.D. in Physics from Stanford. She is interested in media and I heard through a friend that there there was an opportunity at NPR. Without even thinking twice I made the introduction.

Another example…a CTO (Chief Technology Officer) in the Los Angeles area is looking for an business development person in the NYC area. He went onto LinkedIn and connected with a friend of mine. I got a follow up email that turned into a major contract for me.

There is an online community here in the NYC area called wherespot.com. It is a social/business network for producers in media and entertainment. There are so many people on it that you can find almost anything. For example, I had a friend who was producing a commerical that requited a hair stylist for a specific type of dog (a weimeraner I think) in Salt Lake City. Where do you find such a person? He went on Wheresspot and got an answer in about 30 minutes.

Sometimes these things just happen, sometimes they don’t…but if you don’t keep all your options open you’ll never know. And this I believe is one of the strengths of platforms like Facebook or LinkedIn…its a community.

But in the word of JFK “its not what your country can do for you…it’s what you can do for your country.” Networking is not about what others can do for you…its what you can do for others…trust me…it’ll pay itself back many times
