WOW!!!! How would YOU LIKE for someone to promote YOU, YOUR BUSINESS and YOUR EVENTS?? This is the Standard Operating Procedure and the very "Nature"of the way Network Together takes care of their members. Don and I are the co-founders of Speakers Pathway Coalition and we are "PROUD" to be members of Network Together.

Then Shawn shared with the audience about the "Women's Panel" (men are invited) that is coming up in April 2020. In addition to addressing issues and items of interest that ladies face....MEN...Listen UP...At the "Women's Panel" one of the topics to be discussed is "Sex-Trafficking" aka "Human Trafficking". Shawn shared the story of a young girl that got abducted and the FBI found her in Florida, she is 15 years old, pregnant and bless her heart, she has aids.

I admire and applaud Shawn and all of the other ladies and men that will step up at the grass roots level to say 'enough is enough' and seek for ways to be better prepared and to discuss ideas of WHAT we the people as concerned citizens can do and get involved in protecting our youth.

Ladies & Gentlemen, based on what you have read here in the shows description. I think you would say that Robert W Jones and Shawn Jones are the kind of people you would like to know and hang out with...and YOU would be right!!!

There are currently over 3 Billion people using Social Media. Regardless of your target market, your customers are on Social Media and can be reached.

But with those huge numbers come massive competition. Virtually every company now has a Social Media presence and they are all trying to get heard.

Everybody is posting their content trying to get their message out and are frequently being ignored.

There are very few things in the world of Social Media Marketing that are more depressing than a post with barely any likes and no comments.

It yells out to the world that “Nobody Cares!”. It’s like throwing a party and nobody shows up!

People feel sorry for you. And for those of us in the business world, it sends a very strong message. Nobody cares about what you have to say! Nobody cares about your business. It is providing “Negative Credibility”. It’s a business killer.

Instead of people seeing you and your company as an authority in your field, they see you as a novice with no experience, no customers and no following.

On top of that, they completely ignore your posts! You need engagement to succeed. In today’s interview, David Riklan shares some key strategies to getting engagement as part of your Social Media Strategy.

Overview Of Kim's Interview:

Lack of persistence is a huge obstacle most of suffer from. It is easier to stick with what we know or walk away when failure gets too much or success doesn't come quickly.

Kim share a lot of practical thought provoking ideas and concerns during the show. Some of the key points she emphasized...

1. Success doesn't come quickly when one feels they have put "enough effort" and experience "enough failure".

2. Four types of awarenesses: Time, Task, Reflective, and Self - Awareness

3. There are 3 types of goals: Outcome, process, and performance goals

4. 92% of adults never achieve goals, only 3% write goals, and 1% review or rewrite goals.

5. We are responsible for our response to other people's thoughts or words. * The 2nd agreement from the book The Four Agreements.

One of the interesting stories Rick shared concerned a small company that found a special niche and competed against some huge corporate giants in the camera business like Sony.

This company was GoPro and he shared about their humble beginnings and the marketing venture he undertook with them to be the success they are today. (https://gopro.com)

Back in August Rick received a call asking him to work once again with George Foreman. George was going to be the spokesman for Real Time Pain Relief (https://rtpr.com)

There are THREE Types of Videos: 1) Tutorial showing how to do something....2) Demonstrational this video focuses on the "Benefits for the End User" and 3) TestimonialVideos. Testimonial videos are huge in reenforcing the Value of the Product or Service.

That is EXACTLY what happens to a lot of entrepreneurs...many used to work in a cubicle inside a business environment and they want to become entrepreneurs and all they do is go from the cubicles of Corporate America to finding themselves STUCK in a small office space in their homes in....Solitary Confinement. This is WHY most entrepreneurs QUIT or give up. Some can even become clinically depressed. 

This was one of many catalysts that inspired Robert and his Beautiful Bride Shawn Jones to create Network Together. 

Robert is the Founder and Owner of Network Together and Shawn is their CEO and she is fondly known as "The Boss".  Their website is https://www.networktogether.net and their company puts on the exciting iNetwork Expo which is a community business extravaganza that brings people face to face in a Community 2 Community Network (C2C) for more information go to https://inetworkexpo.com

His organization provides a platform for Public Speaking, Business and Personal Development, Business Networking and Cause-Related marketing outlets for members who in addition want to serve the Youth and Not-For-Profit organizations in their communities. 

Best Part?  Network Together is growing and expanding EXPONENTIALLY to other areas across America. 

Wanna know more?  Contact Robert at  [email protected]  and ask Robert to add your name to the electronic version of the iNETrepreneur Magazine that is filled with exciting information.  

The entire show was electrifying with Robert's message revealing his passion in helping and encouraging others to become GREAT Servants as that is the mission of Network Together...

"If You Heart Is NOT In It...YOU Can't Win It!!!"

This inspired a lot of great encouraging thoughts to ponder on, maybe write down...or as Jim likes to say..."Brand This Into YOUR Brain." 

Do YOU want to be "Popular or Profitable?"..."Your Heartset is YOUR Mindset"....the importance of "Community 2 Community Business Relationships" and many more inspiring comments and thoughts. 

Both hosts, Jim Grant and "Dandy Don" Mcgrath shared their experience in observing and working with Robert W. Jones & Shawn Jones and their members in this C2C business network of neighbor helping neighbor.  Jim stated it reminded him of the 'Barter System' he saw growing up as a kid on a farm.  Neighbors would pitch in and help each other and that is exactly what Jim & "Dandy Don" personally experienced in Phoenix when several Network Together members of this C2C Network introduced them to others that could benefit from the services their company offers.

When women are faced with a challenge, especially one that is chronic, to get the most leverage and traction, identify and work at the root cause. Facing poverty, violence, and mental health challenges, the research points women’s financial sovereignty as a breakthrough solution.

When women are financially solvent, they:

·  Go further in their education

·   Have kids later in life

·   Have less kids

·   Choose better domestic partners

·   Take better care of their physical and

mental health

Research further shows:

·  When women are given money and

business opportunities, the community

rises up.

Conclusion: When women are financially solvent, poverty is eradicated, violence is alleviated, and mental health is bolstered

Tamra Blankenship was out guest today and delivered a power-packed show filled with great advice in our daily relationships. Her website is www.TamraBlankenship.com Her Email is [email protected]

Today's theme began by focusing on others that are serving in a capacity that prevents them from being with their loved ones during Christmas. We normally think about our men and women serving in the military, especially those that are serving overseas in dangerous areas.

But that is the tip of the iceberg. Further mention was made to remind us all of those that serve in a support capacity; police officers, fire fighters, doctors, nurses and the list goes on. Even employees of the power company are in high demand during the holidays whenever we experience power outages, especially during winter and freezing temperatures.
