DO BUSINESS RAISE CAPITAL BE ELECTED EVANGALIZE A CONCEPT GET A NEW JOB jason associates ® proprietary & confidential, 2008
MY PHILOSPHY OF NETWORKING NETWORKING USED TO BE CALLED HELPING OR SHARING THE WHOLE IDEA OF NETWORKING IS THAT IF YOU PRACTICE GOOD DEEDS, THEY WILL COME BACK TO YOU THAT DOESN’T MEAN THAT YOU SHOULD DO THEM EXPECTING ANYTHING IN RETURN NETWORKING IS A WAY OF LIFE, IT’S WHAT DEVELOPS PERSONAL ENRICHMENT, NOT ONLY ON AN INTELECTUAL LEVEL BUT ALSO ON A SPIRITUAL ONE jason associates ® proprietary & confidential, 2008
HOW TO BE A GREAT NETWORKER ALWAYS THINK UNSELFISHLY OF WHAT WILL GROW FROM YOUR DEEDS INSTEAD OF WHAT YOU WILL GAIN PERSONALLY ALWAYS THINK OF THE COMMON BENEFITS, NOT OF YOUR PERSONAL WINNINGS jason associates 速 proprietary & confidential, 2008
GREAT NETWORKER FRANCIS J. CARDINAL SPELLMAN The most visible, powerful, and arguably, effective nongovernmental executive in the America of World War II was not a businessman. It was Cardinal Spellman, the head of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York and adviser to various US Presidents. During his waking hours he was alone only twice each day, for 25 minutes each time: when he said mass in his private chapel and during his evening prayers. When he inherited the diocese it was totally demoralized and bankrupt. He was one of the greatest Networkers ever. In: What Makes an Effective Executive - Harvard Business Review, June 2004.
