TNNW BULLETIN & ARTICLES, MARCH, 2009, WEEK 1

Dear Readers:

Welcome to the month of March. Before jumping in, I wanted to suggest to you that we have something extraordinary at THE NATIONAL NETWORKER -- it is called "camaraderie," a word which I spell incorrectly most of the time.

We have the power to do so much for each other, and it is time to use this reserve of amazing potential. We can:

1. Be emotionally and financially supportive of each other, and of our respective businesses, both operating and contemplated. It does not require vast sums of money to call on old friends and reconnect...to send words of encouragement to new business contacts...to convert strangers into acquaintances, and acquaintances into friends. We can give more of ourselves; and in so doing, we can gain so much more than we give. We can celebrate all that we have in common, and we can view our differences as complementary skills or viewpoints.

2. We can communicate with greater frequency and with greater purpose -- we can stay in touch. Telephone, email, texting...an impromptu visit to a restaurant to dine together

3. We can ask for advice, and offer advice.

4. We can engage in some friendly bartering, where goods and services have real value, and where the Dollar, the Euro and the standing of the capital markets are inconsequential.

5. We can make each other smile, and laugh.

6. We can recommend and refer to one another.

7. We can coax optimism from each other.

8. We can patronize each other's business, services and practices, and recommend that others do the same.

9. We can plant our seeds now, when others are busy crying over a spoiled crop.


10. We can tell everyone that we, at THE NATIONAL NETWORKER, are a COMMUNITY -- we are a self-contained and growing ECONOMY -- we are very much like a new country with a youthful vision of PROSPERITY, based upon cooperation, integrity, and our best efforts.

The economic recession began with a loss of faith, and not with a loss of profitability, as many would have us believe. Let us be a cooperative, a team, a force -- let us fly in the face of a recession by boldly defying it.

Let us pledge our every thought and every action to building a new cooperative economy founded on responsibility, compassion, mutual support and optimism.

THE FUTURE WILL NOT MAKE US.

WE WILL MAKE THE FUTURE.

I appreciate every one of you, and I am ever-grateful to my friend Adam J. Kovitz, who invited me to what will become known as the greatest entrepreneurial movement in history. Be a part of it with us. We are here for you, too.

Faithfully, and with great respect,

Douglas Castle

THE NATIONAL NETWORKER ARTICLES: February, 2009, Week 1


1. TAKE A DEEP, DELIBERATE BREATH;

2. REGAIN YOUR PERSPECTIVE;

3. EXAMINE YOUR GOALS, AND DEFINE THE IMPEDIMENTS;

4. BREAK THE IMPEDIMENTS DOWN INTO EASILY SOLVABLE TASKS;

5. FORMULATE A LINEAR PLAN TO DO THE TASKS AND GET TO YOUR GOAL;

6. PROCEED IN INCREMENTS;

7. FEEL THE HEADY RUSH OF PROGRESS;

8. MAINTAIN MOMENTUM - KEEP A SACRED PROMISE TO YOURSELF TO WIN;

9. GET THERE ---And tell your story.

Dear Readers, Subscribers, Members, Colleagues, Friends and World:

February is here, and the economic challenges that face individuals and businesses through the world are still are the forefront of all of our thoughts and actions. Personally, I have found that the best action to take when your are feeling overwhelmed, anxious and depressed (and perhaps a bit impoverished) is to take positive definitive action. If you are overwhelmed by the distance that you must traverse...take the first step...then take the second. Every so often, look back and praise yourself as you chart your progress from the starting point (where you felt helpless and paralyzed) to where you've gotten.

Every problem is a challenge. And every challenge is an opportunity to grow stronger, better and more confident. Every seemingly insurmountable problem can be broken down into small, "doable" components. If you learn to proceed incrementally (one of the basic tenets of Internal Energy Plus), you can solve any problem and meet any challenge with courage...with the knowledge that you are on a linear path to achievement.

Focus on what you can do, and do it. Forward momentum overcomes depression, inertia, doubt and fear. MOVE FORWARD.

THE NATIONAL NETWORKER is not only a provider of information and intelligence. We are not only a provider of unparalled services (a toolkit) to help you to translate your contacts into relationships, and your relationships into profits, financial security and wealth... We are a source of inspiration. Get active, get happier and get monetized!

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle [Who?]
