  • Secrets of the Piggyback Marketer

    [ad_1]

    Owner/Producer of SIMPLEnetworking, Chi Chi Okezie is an expert in piggyback marketing and uses other people’s resources to grow her business, credibility and brand-name. Never stingy with information, Chi Chi has graciously enlightened us with five points on piggyback marketing as follows…

    #1 “Civil Servant”

    Golden Rule in Piggyback Marketing, “You keep what you give away.”

    Volunteering is the biggest, best and most effective tool in Piggyback Marketing. When you volunteer with a big company or organization, doors swing open in your favor. Whether you are donating money, time or services, you position yourself into a group of like minded, generous and business oriented “do-gooders”. Latching onto a credible name or brand will drastically increase your visibility and add dimension to your efforts.

    #2 “Moonlighting”

    Start teaching a continuing education class or an evening course at a well known state or private institution. Pick a course or topic in which you are an expert. By teaching the class, you are building your credibility and developing great skills in research, communication and public speaking. You are automatically associated with the state or private institution and can leverage that for business. The class becomes another product which you can market to your clients and potential customers.

    #3 “Club Hopping”

    Join a club, chamber of commerce, business organization etc. and become an active member. Usually, clubs/organizations are members of bigger clubs and organizations. You can approach the director/president of your group and ask to be a representative of that group or organization which is a member of a bigger group, organization or chamber of commerce. Next thing you know, you will be seated or rubbing elbows with board members and significant decision makers!

    #4 “Show Your School Spirit”

    Get involved in your school alumni chapter and attend events or join a committee. Your position within the chapter can be a direct link in marketing your business to fellow alumni as well as school departments and students. Also offer to do class presentations, mentor students or be a recruiter/liaison. If there is not a chapter in your city, contact the alumni dept. and suggest one – you can be the President!

    5# “Half Time Show”

    Do you know any colleagues, entrepreneurs or other professionals who present seminars, classes, workshops or talks? If so, offer to do a quick presentation during their breaks to promote your brand, industry, products or services. Or you can opt to introduce the speaker/lecturer at an event. If you can make a dynamic introduction or pull off a great presentation during a break, potential customers will flock to you for business!

  • Success! The Glenn Bland Method

    [ad_1]

    In the early 70s there was a book published by Glenn Bland, called “Success! The Glenn Bland Method. This little 175 page handbook as fundamental skills and systems for succeeding. Glenn Bland became a very successful person in the Life Insurance industry, but his thoughts and ideas are easily transferable to any endeavor that someone wishes to partake in.

    Granted the book is a bit dated since its first copyright was in 1972, but success is universal. One thing that Glenn addresses very directly is the mindset of success. Much of what he talks about harkens back to think and grow Rich by Napoleon Hill for example anything you can think of believing you can achieve. Another idea is that men with goals and plans dictate to others while men who have no goals and plans are dictated to. And also the concept of quit thinking about all the reasons you can’t do something and think of all the reasons why you can.

    Mr. Bland and had quite a bit of research, no doubt, not directly for this book to but just to be successful in his life. One thing he says is you are the sum total of your thoughts, if you think a negative terms you will achieve negative results but if you think in positive terms you will achieve positive results. In short “We become what we think about.” He quoted Emerson who said “a man is what he thinks about all day long.” He also quoted from Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius who said “a man’s life is what his thoughts make of it.” Another quote that I liked in the book was from William James who said “The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter the lives by altering their attitudes of mind.”

    If you are a student of success and wish to read another book with some good ideas of how to succeed in whatever endeavors he you are taking on Success! The Glenn Bland Method, how to set goals and make plans that really work, maybe just the book you are looking for.

  • Mad Max: Fury Road Relationship Between Max and Furiosa

    [ad_1]

    Mad Max Fury Road is a story that involves two people by the name Max and Furiosa who are held captive and are trying to escape from Hamlet. Max is suffering outrageous fortunes but he is learning from the fortunes while Furiosa has decided to oppose her troubles by taking arms against the leaders of Hamlet. The two characters cannot trust each other at first but due to their circumstances they are forced to rely on each other. Love is humanized in the film where much deeper conventions of love are stricken. Max is a loner and a survivor who has been traumatized in a world where people see him as a blood bag. On the contrary Furiosa is scheming a plan to help five women who have been enslaved in Hamlet. Max does not trust Furiosa and in most parts of the film he holds a gun on her.

    In the middle of these desperate attempts to escape from their chasers Max and Furiosa are forced to depend on each other. In many love stories people fall in love due to opportunities provided by circumstances. The alignment of stars and personal chemistry makes this happen. Every step of the relationship between Max and Furiosa is dictated by their circumstances where the only choice they are left with is to depend and rely on each other and to trust each other in order to escape. In a critical scene Furiosa asks Max his name but he refuses to tell her. In the end Max finally tells Furiosa his name where there are significant happenings throughout the film. These moments appear and vanish in the film through chaos and apocalyptic alienation. Max and Furiosa form an alliance where they try to fight motorcycles that are shooting at them. He leaves her to go to a mission which may be fatal but fears no one would notice if he dies in the mission. Max talks Furiosa out of a suicide mission when he says “you know hope is a mistake”. Max eventually decides hope is not a mistake and went back to Furiosa where he joins her and they plan to oppose the forces against them.

    At the end of the film Max does not stay with Furiosa but he leaves and eventually disappears into the crowd. A modern viewer can resonate with this film in that modern man is alienated from himself, from the world and from fellow men. Everyone is alone, with a deep sense of insecurity, guilt and anxieties which are results of separation that cannot be overcome. Like Max lost his identity in the opening moments, man has lost his identity too, and is overcome by powerful forces that own him. Like Furiosa man tries to search for a community and the only thing he finds is a desert.
