Attending Live Events

January 4th, 2010

One of those aha moments came to me the other day when I was reading one of Joel Comm’s books.

He mentions that the best way to joint venture with someone is to go to a live event. There you will have the opportunity to meet and greet people and begin to develop relationships. He mentions that his business success is related to the number of people he knows and meets at various events around the world.

Reading one of Jay Abraham’s publications recently he also states that your success is directly related to the number of people you know or have in your network.

So attending more live events for me has become a must do activity to find and have the success I want in the future. My question to you today is – how many live events have you lined up to attend for yourself this year?

Not only am I going to attend at least five live events this year starting next week but I have also committed myself to organizing a live event for interested people to attend later on in the year. More about that in future posts….

Just why are joint ventures so important?

January 3rd, 2010

This one fact astounded me the other day. There are over 40 million small to medium sized businesses in the US and 40 million English speaking businesses world wide AND they do not have a clue about doing joint ventures!

So according to business maestro Jay Abraham we all have a ‘pretty good market if you are going to do joint ventures’ with or for others.

Well if the majority of us do not have a clue of how to do joint ventures just where do we start? What resources are available to us out there and just exactly why should we do a joint venture. This post is the first of many that will look inside the world of joint ventures, strategic alliances, partnerships and dealmaking. Just why are they so important and how can we use them to our best advantage.

Joint Venture Today

November 12th, 2009

Joint ventures as a technique and strategy is a facinating concept. Identifying unused potential and bringing together a plan of action that will release benefit for all concerned is a brilliant way forward. There is in my mind an unlimited number of potential joint venture opportunities all around the world in all sorts of circumstances. They exist right there in front of us every waking moment of the day. The trick is to be able to see the opportunities all around you and then do something with them.

I have made a committment to share with you the lessons I learn as I go on this journey of (joint venture) discovery. Everything I learn about joint ventures will be made available here over a period of time. Should you also wish to share what you learn about joint ventures please contact me at jointventuretoday [at] gmail.com so that we can form a mastermind group of like minded people wishing to use and promote the joys of doing joint ventures.
