Tip # 58 Watch out, if youre networking to the hilt, this could just be your way of dodging your responsibilities!
Your secretary looks up, surprised, as you bolt out the door. Where are you off too? To my networking club, you say.
But thats where you were all afternoon yesterday! she persists.
I belong to another networking club. Its called diversifying your contacts, my dear. Got to expand those contacts, otherwise, the company cant sell whats left in our inventory.
Go ahead and network, if you must. But if the excess inventory runs out of control, dont go crying to your networking buddies. Theyre not buying any of that excess inventory.
Procrastination pervades every aspect of our lives.
Procrastinate Now
Sit down with pen and paper.
Talk to your mate when you have full rein of your emotions. If some members have been delinquent, ask them why. If I learn to like myself, my friends and family would like me better too. That way you avoid any friction. Most of these publishing entities have web sites wherein they advertise their monthly, quarterly and annual contests. Go ahead and shape up, but dont let your six pack abs get in the way of meaningful school work. |
