Friends: If you haven't already joined The National Networker Companies and our GICBC Community, join now for free at http://bit.ly/JoinTNNW.
We work best when we collaborate and cooperate,leveraging the support, skills, guidance and hands-on caring assistance of our fellow entrepreneurs and leaders of emerging enterprises.
Also, while you're in a kind and generous mood, please remember to re-tweet and to buzz this article! - Thanks, and welcome.
*The Winning Women's Vortex, which is sponsored by and affiliated with The National Networker Companies, promises to be one of the most widely-viewed and influencial sites on the web. It features a variety of forums (Collaborative Communities) on real-life, down-to-earth, practical subjects. Without giving too much away, we're taking about establishing our own credit union, our own venture capital and business financing funds, our own specially -priced health, life, property, casualty and liability insurance package for solopreneurs to smaller entrepreneurial enterprises.
The collaboration potential is mind-blowing. The abilities, contacts and knowledge brought to these projects by various women of achievement and ambition will be unsurpassed. The pure lobbying strength promises to be a major force in shaping the way in which business is conducted internationally. The power inherent in such an organization will be sufficient to move mountains. If you are a woman in business, or a women in any of the professions, you'll NEED to join this organization. And to think that it all started with a book that Ann Barczay Sloan felt needed to be written.
Following is an excerpt from Connectrix Ann Barczay Sloan inviting her interviewees, the moderators, project leaders and their "A" - list groups to just glimpse a sneak preview of the blog...
-------------------------------------------
Yes, here it is: http://TheWinningWomensVortex.blogspot.com
Douglas Castle and I are happy to announce that our blog / site associated with our forthcoming book starring YOU -- i.e., The Power of Passion: Winning Women Reveal Their Success Secrets -- is currently accessible "for a taste of things to come", as Douglas is fond of saying.
Yes, the site is under construction, but here is your temporary chance to take a look ASAP at a few of the powerful features and forums soon to be available on our site, for the benefit of entrepreneurial women everywhere! You have until Tuesday (okay -- Wednesday; but that's our last extension) to look and see and
get excited and inspired -- then it's back to construction work again.
Please take advantage of this brief window of time, and by all means, please invite your friends and associates to visit here as well:
I have a strong feeling you will be proud of your participation in this ever-unfolding project!
All the best to each and all of you,
Ann

*An Important Person To Watch: Sandra Levitin
Sandra Levitin, Founder of Kalön Women and Kalön Women’s Magazine has joined forces with The National Networker Companies.
Kalön Women reaches a growing and increasingly receptive market audience of women, age 40 and over. This particular group is the heart, soul and spirit of what The Global Futurist has termed “Generation XX”.
These women are not only re-inventing themselves…they are fast becoming the dominant and driving force in business, the professions, entrepreneurship, consumerism and activism. They are innovators, fast-learners, early-adopters and thought leaders.
Ms. Levitin offers information, product and service reviews, social and business resources, group forums, advice, mentoring, writing opportunities and access to virtually everything for this amazing segment of the market.
Learn more. Visit the website. Subscribe to the magazine. Oh, and if you’re male, learn to be very, very accommodating. Kalön readers may well be your future bosses, vendors, clients and partners. Investigate. Visit http://kalon-women.com/ .
Women, particularly those 40 and over, are rising to power and influence. Don't be left behind.
*TAKE the Self-Evaluation Survey (TNNW Survey #6)!
The polls are closing on April 22nd (the governor granted us a one-week stay), and we'd like your responses, feedback and creative suggestions. The survey is anonymous, unless you wish to give us your name. This self-evaluation is a crucial tool for improvement in every aspect of your business, social and spiritual life. You will learn a great deal about yourself simply by taking this amazing survey. Guaranteed.
To date, we have received a tremendous number of responses, and are already seeing some exciting patterns emerging. Please participate with us. Yes...you'll find out a great deal about yourself (through the most productive introspection you've done in a very long time), but ultimately, we, as a group will find out what those of us who are most successful or who are most likely to succeed have in common. On the next go-round of the Survey, we'll ask ourt respondents to rank the characteristics questioned in the Survey from most to least important. This is a fabulous, collaborative project where the sources of data span the entire Social Media Spectrum!
Take the Survey and invest in yourself. TNNW Survey #6 can be accessed easily by clicking on either http://www.surveymonkey.com/TNNWsurvey6 or http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TNNWsurvey6 .
*The National Newspicker Page is undergoing an upgrade.
The National Newspicker Page, which is located at http://thenationalnewspickerpage.blogspot.com/ is the world's most efficient way to get all of the news, info and intel that you need in just 20 minutes per day in order to sound like the smartest person in the room.
Grab this gadget at http://thenationalnewspickerpage.blogspot.com/ if you don't already have it, or simply make the page a favorite, for instant reference. We are switching servers, increasing content and re-formatting access -- this is great news! Sadly, until this process is finished on or about April 22nd, some of the links to sources might be sporatically disconnected. Stay with us. It will be worth your while.
*Left, Right and Center is undergoing an upgrade.
The latest addition to our info-sourcing, Left, Right and Center, is located at http://newspickerleftrightandcenter.blogspot.com/ is also undergoing the same process. This device, which accesses the the most extremist political news and views from right to left, will be available as a free-standing widget (soon!), and will also be added as an additional tab to the National Newspicker. This process should be completed on or about April 22nd. We would suggest that you get this widget in addition to The National Newspicker Widget.
You'll get every bit of edgy news from the far right, the Conservatives, Republicans, Democrats, Independents, militias, survivalists, far-left Liberals, Constitutionalists, Progressives, Internationalists, Cultists....Limbaugh to Franken...Maher to Palin...Centrists to Anarchists -- even the gossip amongst the blue-haired ladies playing Mah Jong in North Miami Beach! This stuff is absolutely fascinating, and is the ideal compliment to everything that you read in the mainstream media. We cover Mother Jones as well as the Spectator. You must get this widget the instant that it becomes available. It doesn't matter what YOUR politics are...find out about what everyone is thinking!

*We have two fabulous buttons at the bottom of every Featured TNNWC Columnist's article:
We crave your comments and feedback on every article. Be heard!
The buttons are provided for you to 1) comment on articles and to view other readers' comments on the articles, and to 2) let you forward, share, rate, promote and do other social media stuff with any article which you find to be of interest.
One button pops open to a screen which allows you to read other readers' comments, and to leave your own [the more comments you leave on the greatest number of articles by the greatest number of authors, the better your personal branding and SEO - Fact!]. The other gives you a means of forwarding or sharing, either by email or by posting to any one (or all) of your social media. Here's what they look like:

Use these buttons or our Management Team will take them away! Our Management Team is ruthless (we had to let Ruth go), cold-hearted, hard-heading and demanding!
*TNNWC Client, Affiliate and Supporter, Bonnie Ross-Parker, published author and creator of The Joy Of Connecting recently received some NEW press coverage. Bonnie has created a proprietary system for women in business to network person-to-person in a completely unthreatening, inviting atmosphere that produces more actual ACTIVE BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS than any other networking method.
If you are female (you must be sure!), you should consider becoming a JOC licensee. It is the most powerful in-home, real-touch relationship and network-building tool ever conceived by the mind of man....er....ah....woman. Ms. Ross-Parker provides a fabulous system to her Licensees, along with live training, constant upgrading, publicity, service and ongoing support. JOC Licensees (and now, The Latina Joy Of Connecting "LJOC" Licensees, too) promote their own businesses while they help other invitees to promote theirs. As Paula Fellingham would say, it is a genuine "WIN - WIN" for every Licensee and attendee. In fact, you might want to look at Paula's site: http://www.thewinonline.com/.
Bottom line: Female? In business? Want fast-track growth without an enormous budgetary outlay and without pressure? Get a License -- While you can.

"elevator pitch," download TNNWC's Public Announcement about Ms. Ross-Parker and The Joy Of Connecting by clicking on either:

Note: Douglas Castle is perhaps one of the greatest social and economic visionaries of our time -- then again, there are those who think that he is a ranting fool. He is neither humble nor tactful. His mother loves him...almost nobody else does. [Adam j. Kovitz, the creator of the notion of Relationship Capital, merely tolerates Castle].
