Are you missing out on vital connections - or even losing business - because your networking fears are standing in the way of your success?
Do you hate the thought of networking because it feels unnatural - too competitive, too pushy or too "salesy?" Do you ever wonder if there's something wrong with you because everyone around you seems to be comfortable in networking situations, while you feel so out of place? Wouldn't you love it if someone could show you how to feel as if you truly belonged and had something of value to offer in any networking situation?
Don't let
scarcity close you off from the world - and from your hard-earned
success!
You may not know what the Illusions of Scarcity are or how they are
affecting your life. But believe me, if you felt like answering Yes! to any of the questions above
then you've felt their impact in your life.
But it doesn't have to be that way. I can show you how to spot,
understand and blast through these Illusions - and in the process turn
networking from a dreaded task into a enjoyable and effortless activity
that you will actually look forward to doing.
"Ever since I started my coaching business, I dreaded networking, talking about my business etc, and couldn't figure out why. Through [Kim's] classes, I found out that it was because I was coming from scarcity point of view. I was shocked to see how many illusions were at play now when I was thinking about the networking, let alone when I'm actually there! Now I feel the pressure is off, and can actually look forward to the next networking event and have fun again!" Mari Suzuki www.marisuzuki.com |
Hey guys, Kim
George here -
If you know me, you know I love networking. To me, reaching out and
building relationships with other people is one of the most natural
acts in the world. And I love to share this passion with others through
my classes, books, articles and coaching.
So you can imagine how frustrating it is for me to watch students,
friends and colleagues continue to struggle with networking, even after
spending hours of time and hundreds of dollars learning the latest
networking strategies and tools.
It seems that no matter how good the information is - and believe me,
I've co-created courses with some of the heaviest hitters in the field,
so I know it's good - a certain percentage of students simply are not
able to make that knowledge work for them. It happens all the time.
Maybe it's happened to you.
Are you putting
the cart before the horse when it comes to networking success?
It's like this - having a tricked-out, high-end racing buggy with all
the latest improvements comes in pretty handy for competing in the
world of professional horse racing. In fact, it's absolutely essential.
But none of those fancy features does a bit of good if either the horse
or the driver is convinced that he has no chance of winning.
Likewise, if you feel that no one is interested in what you have to
say, or if the very thought of introducing yourself to someone at an
event makes you want to go hide under the caterer's table out of
embarrassment, then piling on more tools
and more classes is just
going to make you even more
miserable - after all, with all that great information you have at your
disposal, anybody should be
able to make it work...right?
And yet, you can't.
Why? Because like a buggy without a confident horse and driver, even
the best networking tools, tips and strategies are useless without the
most important networking resource of all - the vehicle of your
naturally confident self.
"Yeah,
right," you're thinking. "My natural self is still under the caterer's
table, remember?"
I hear you. But that's not really true.
The guy or gal under the caterer's table isn't the real you. It's The Networker -
the persona that takes over when you ride into networking battle, all
laced up into an ill-fitting shell of "serious business" armor.
We all know this character well:
The Networker
looks like a suit, talks like a marketer and smiles like a politician
at a fish fry.
The Networker
is at once terrified to make the wrong move, yet can barely function
under the weight of all those prefabricated, external ideals you feel
pressured to live up to.
The Networker
blurts out canned elevator speeches at the slightest provocation,
delivered in the same "held at gunpoint" caffeinated desperation that
is generally reserved for trying to talk your way out of a
speeding ticket. If you can get the words out at all, that is.
And you're saying that this façade, this shaky-kneed poser possessed by
the ghost of lead-generation-to-come, is the real you?
I didn't think so.
The Networker is a product of the Illusions of Scarcity, a
phantasm of fear-based thinking and limited perspective.
But, how can you uncover the real you
- the passionate business person who stands confidently behind the
value of their work, the open and welcoming recipient of inescapable
opportunities, the warm and friendly human being who loves to build
relationships with like-minded people - and let this naturally abundant
and self-assured version step in and take over?
You already
have everything you need to make this change. You just need some help
to get out of your own way and let the Abundant Networker that you
naturally are step out into the light.
In order to uncover the natural, Abundant Networker hiding under all
that doubt and fear, one thing needs to be crystal clear: another list of networking tools and
strategies isn't going to help.
I know that most of you have taken tons of networking strategy classes
and acquired an abundance of tools, some of which I've taught and all
of which will no doubt be very valuable to you…some day.
But let's face it - if all of that was going to help become a master
networker where and who you are now, it would have done so already. But
it hasn't. And it won't, because the tools aren't the problem.
Your mindset is.
How
do I know? Because I've been there.
I’ve got a confession to make.
I wasn’t always a natural networker.
Like many of you reading this, I used to hate the thought of networking
– of going into a crowded room of strangers, walking up to someone I
don’t know (and maybe don’t even want to know!) and trying to pretend I
love making small talk.
I was caught up in pretending.
Pretending that I really wanted to be networking, that I was really
enjoying myself. When in reality – I wanted to be doing anything but
networking this way. It felt phony. It felt like selling out.
But I needed the business. I needed the exposure. It’s funny how money
can be such a cattle prod!
Trying to be that kind of networker was a drag. It wasn’t me. It was
someone else. The “monkey mind” took over in my head. I wasn’t smart
enough. I didn’t have anything interesting to say. I didn’t know what
to say. People would think I was an idiot or pushy or boring or any of
a million other things that weren’t cool.
So I stopped going to those events.
Until it hit me one day.
People aren’t like vending machines. You can’t deposit information like
a coin in a slot and expect to get a sale or a referral instantly.
In my early approach to networking, I had let all my fears cause me to
show up as someone else.
You see, my natural style is to connect with people. Talk to anyone who
knows me and they’ll tell you I’m a natural connector. Connecting is
what I do. And I had lost that somewhere along the line.
When this realization hit me, I instantly started showing up
differently. This powerful mental shift catapulted me into Abundant
Networking.
I began to look at every experience as an opportunity to build a
relationship – the kind that human beings naturally build when they’re
at ease, interested and not trying to be someone else, for some other
reason.
I started being myself.
In the next two years, I interviewed over 60 celebrated authors,
business owners, and experts. People like Seth Godin, Dr. Ivan Misner,
Michael Gerber, Lance Secretan, Tim Sanders, Michael Gelb, Daniel Pink
and so many more.
How did I do it?
I learned how to ask.
And I learned how to use the power
of Connection to get what I want, by helping others to get what
they want.
How did I end up developing a curriculum and co-leading teleclasses on
Social Capital & Networking with THE biggest networking guru in the
world?
I asked.
I didn’t devise a 60 page master plan, create a 2 hour PowerPoint
presentation, or strategize in a bunker for 4 months.
I asked at the right time, in the right way, using the right
connections. And the result was so wonderful, so easy, it was like
falling off a log.
Literally.
I utilized the power of Connecting to build relationships to attract what I want. That’s the art of
Abundant Networking.
And you can learn it too.
"I truly appreciate Kim and I savor her message; she walks her talk in a natural authentic manner. She is a bridge-builder who not only openly builds meaningful sustainable relationships but also connects people and resources. Her sage wisdom in the area of abundant networking is insightful and timely. " Phyllis Furkalo www.intentionalresults.com |

If you've been trying to find the way out of networking hell, but haven't been able to find the time or money for my previous live classes, then this 5-part eCourse is the ticket you've been looking for.
Now, before you say to yourself, "Oh great, not another networking
how-to that'll just sit in my mental closet and gather dust,"
understand one thing:
This is NOT simply another "tips and tricks" time waster. I
won't be teaching you the latest business card tricks or secret
handshakes designed to make your new connection subliminally attracted
to you or anything of the sort.
In
fact, during the Abundant Networking Action Guide we won't be talking
about other people much at all.
The Abundant
Networking Action Guide is all about you - uncovering the
illusions that are holding you back from making the most of your
networking opportunities, learning how to connect with the natural
networker within and learning how to use your strengths and values to
create strong, lasting connections that will produce solid results.
The core of this eCourse is the powerful Connector Quotient Assessment.
Carefully designed to highlight
the weaknesses that work against you and the strengths that you can
build on in the battle to make connections and grow relationships, this
assessment is the lynchpin of the Abundant Networker learning
environment.
Working through this assessment
will isolate the Illusions and fears that are keeping you from
naturally being yourself and allow me to coach you through the process
of seeing them for what they really are, and help you find ways to work
past them. It will provide a map to direct your work throughout the
course and allow you to customize the material and information you
receive to focus on your specific needs and desired outcome.
But that's just the beginning…
The Abundant
Networker's synergistic two-part system ensures strong results.
Each Module has 2 components – Knowledge and Action, oriented around
the truth that Abundant Networkers are Connectors.
There are four Connector
Characteristics that make up the Modules. This is the knowledge
component - in these sections I'll be showing you the concepts and
giving you the information you need to understand what has been holding
you back and how to blast those obstacles out of your path once and for
all.
The action component introduces the
four steps of my Coaching Into Greatness process. These are the
action steps that will move you from scarcity paradigms to abundance
paradigms and allow your natural networker to emerge from its cocoon
and unfurl its wings so that everybody, including you, can see your
true greatness.
"Being a part of Kim's Abundant Networking series gave me a stimulating yet simple, practical plan of action how to show up in my networking naturally able to work my referrals out of attraction rather than relying on self-promotion and crossed fingers... Kim showed me how to take the work out of networking. With Kim's added bonus of bringing in tools from her book, Coaching Into Greatness, I also walked away with a much larger personal awareness and appetite for stepping voluntarily out of my stale comfort zone, not just in my business relationships but my personal ones as well." Elizabeth Tull http://www.agapelegacycoach.com/ |

"When I started reading Coaching Into Greatness and discovered the seven illusions, I really felt understood and not alone in my personal thoughts and perceptions for the first time in ages. This was quite reassuring. My thoughts were articulated by Kim; this was fascinating as well as useful for me to be able to look the illusions in the eye and shed the light of awareness on to them; my desire to grow with this new awareness and live in the authenticity I so wish for had me explore Kim’s Abundance Coaching program, and I am so pleased to say it is what I have always wanted. Taking Kim’s prior classes and now the AQcoaching program allows me to try what I have never tried before, and goes hand in hand with my desire to work with my challenges rather than brush them under the carpet. This whole process has changed me so that I now look forward to networking events instead of dreading them, and my networking is so much more of what I dreamed it would be."

Some of you reading this web page already know me. You know I'm busy.
With a new book being launched, a contract for another one right around
the corner, several blogs to maintain plus the work I do for the Social
Capital and Networking Community - not to mention running my own
coaching business - it's not like I'm walking around with a ton of time
on my hands looking for something to do.
So let me say this very clearly - I wouldn't use what
little available space I have left putting together and offering such a
time, labor and energy intensive coaching program if I didn't feel it
was absolutely vital!
However, based on what I see happening around me, I do believe that this coaching
program is absolutely essential for the success of those who are
struggling, and failing, to make headway toward networking success
using the traditional methods.
You get it all - the
5 Learning Modules, the Group Coaching Session Recordings, the Abundant
Networking Journal, the Connector Quotient Assessment and the
Extended Learning Expert Calls - for
almost
half of what I charge for just one 45-minute coaching session!
You see, I charge my private clients US$200 for one 45-minute session - but this entire 5-Part eCourse, with all the extras and perks I've described above, is priced at the give-away price of just US$119!
You read that right - it's
not a typo.
$119 gets you the
whole enchilada. Not $119 per installment. Not $119 per Module. Just
$119 - period.
Why am I giving this eCourse away at such an unbelievable discount?
Because this information is so vital,
so life-changing and so needed that I wanted to make sure
the Abundant Networking Action Guide
was available to anybody who wanted to take it. And I didn't want
anything as senseless as overpricing to stand in the way of the
abundant success that is your birthright.
And that's the power of abundant thinking - I know that in the long
run, my success hinges more on how many people I've helped than how
much money I take in. Charging more would mean helping fewer people.
It's just that simple.
There's absolutely
no reason to hesitate - your satisfaction is guaranteed!
As I said, I don't want anything to stand in the way of your success. So I'm offering this 100% money back guarantee:
If you are not
completely satisfied with this program, I'll refund 100% of your
purchase price. That's it. No qualifications, no hassles, no time
limit. You either love it, or I'll buy it back. End of story.
So what are you waiting for - you
have nothing to lose and a lifetime of valuable connections to gain.
Don't let second thoughts torpedo your chance at a whole new future.
"I would like to tell you how helpful I found the Abundant Networker class yesterday. I feel excited about networking for the first time and far more positive about my own abilities!" Liz Eborall www.linkworks.co.uk |
Okay, I'll admit...this really isn't life or death - it just feels like it.
Look, let's be clear on one thing. You don't need this program. You have
everything you already need inside you, if you know where to look. With
enough time, work and self-examination you can probably work through
all these issues and free up your natural, Abundant Networker yourself.
Maybe.
Or you could just keep on doing what you're doing - taking more classes
and reading more books and learning more strategies in the hopes that
someday, somewhere, you'll stumble across the magic bullet that will
enable you to hit the networking bulls eye.
(But just remember - even magic bullets are useless without some sort
of well-oiled mechanism to aim and fire them.)
In the meantime, you can keep cold-calling, cold-sweating and
cold-footing your way through your networking activities. Who knows -
with enough practice you might even learn to like it.
But why do it
the hard way, when I've done all the heavy lifting for you?
This program will fast-track you through the process of breaking
down the barriers that have been holding you back from networking
success and resurrecting the natural, Abundant Networker that lies
buried under all that fear-based armor plating.
You will learn everything you need to know to open yourself to the
possibilities without leaving yourself vulnerable to fears and anxiety.
You'll reclaim the fun and joy and freedom of networking from a place
of abundance and warmth, and leave behind the dark and smoky old-boy's
back room style of the competitive, cutthroat hard sell.
You'll rediscover your true self - the you that was always there, just
waiting to be asked to come out and play. The you that is open to life and
welcoming to new experiences. The you
that wants to go out and make new friends at every opportunity.
Don't hesitate - register
now and prepare unleash the Abundant Networker within!
PS - How much will you pay for missing your chance to shake hands on that next great contract or by failing to make the best impression on a top-level connection?
Compared with the business you could be - and maybe already are - losing, this eCourse is priceless. Invest in your success now and walk into your next networking opportunity with the confidence and energy that only true mastery and a deep understanding Abundance principles can bring.

And all of this is yours for the amazingly low price of US$119! - half the price of one regular private coaching session with me, and far less than the cost of trying to figure it out all on your own.
PPS - Don't forget about those amazing BONUS Extended Expert Call recordings I told you about. These recordings alone would be worth the price of the eCourse at full retail! And they're all yours - ABSOLUTELY FREE - my gift to you just for buying through this offer.

Just the thought of going out to network can start the butterflies or cause overwhelming anxiety. The crowded room, having to talk about yourself , finding it hard to initiate contact and just getting yourself out the front door are all sources of dread. Yet, it is possible to network as an introverted or highly sensitive individual.
Networking doesn’t have to be all high-powered handshakes and backroom deals. If you're interested in a kinder, gentler approach to connecting, consider the benefits of "do-gooder networking" - networking by way of contributing to the greater good.
