Microsoft Small Business Summit – Never Eat Alone

Posted on 14. Mar, 2006 by Ty Tribble in Small Business

I just unleashed 7 of my most closely guarded Internet Marketing files for the first time. Download Ty Tribble's MLM Web Secrets. It's my free gift to you for visiting.

Best selling author, Keith Ferrazzi was the final keynote speaker at Microsoft's Small Business Summit. Here are the highlights from my notes:

There should be no distinction between personal and business relationships.
Joy can live with success.
Skip the small talk and talk with people about passion, dreams and the future.
Intimacy (a deep mutual understanding) is the core of success.
Have a willingness to share who you are.
Make business human.
Create an environment around yourself that allows others to share a dream.
You've got to be human to be trusted.
Talk about your struggles.
A willingness to share makes people care about you.
FOCUS - Be clear about what you want to achieve.
Define your currency. What do you have to give to others?
Give a gift that can change a person's world.
Bond with people. Go Deep.
Build a network before you need it.

Keith was by far the highlight of the summit for me and judging by the standing ovation he got at the end of his speech, I was not alone in this thinking. I was also able to spend a few moments with him afterwords and noticed him take a sincere interest in the people he was speaking with.

The world of networking needs more Keith Ferrazzi.
