As 2010 comes to an end, I thought I would share some of my favorite quotes that relate to networking. Words are powerful and when put into action, miracles can occur. Take a few minutes and read the words that others have spoken and see if you feel moved to take action. As you read these quotes, see which ones resonate for you and if you find one that really speaks to you, put it on a plaque or bulletin board and look at it daily for inspiration. When you are inspired, your results will show it. When you are tired, your results will show it. Stay inspired, think outside the box and make 2011 the year to grow your relationships and pay it forward with your networking.
Here are my favorite quotes. I would love if you would send me yours. You can send them to Rhonda@twominutenetworker.com. Have a wonderful new year.
"When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser. The choice is yours and yours alone. Refuse to throw in the towel. Go that extra mile that failures refuse to travel. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure."
- Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics
"Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you're generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make."
- Donald Trump, real estate and entertainment mogul

Almost any profile is better than anyone with a pulse.” -- Steve Pavlina, Personal Development Blogger
“The currency of real networking is not greed but generosity.” -- Keith Ferrazzi, Author, Business Consultant, and Speaker
