booksAs someone who has run my own business for over 20 years I learned a long time ago that networking is a fundamental part of my business. I have seen first hand how giving is one of the best ways to grow my client list.
Here, in this month’s column at The Hague Online, where I am Writer in Residence, I share the story of a fascinating scene that unfolded in front of me while I sat on the London Underground last weekend, when I attended a super Book Promotion Seminar.
Click here to see how many opportunities lie in wait for those who give.
Arvind Devalia was one of the presenters at the book promotion seminar. He has sold thousands of copies of his book Get the Life You Love and Live it and has boosted his business many times because he recognises the value of giver’s gain. Here, in his recent blog post, you will see the story of how he once donned a red wig in aid of Sport Relief and gave away free coaching sessions. And how, in exchange, he received tons of free publicity, a column in a local paper and sold masses of books. Read all about that here. Arvind is an author, coach, speaker and internet entrepreneur.
