Dear Friends,
I am writing a manifesto called “Networking – The Art of Giving to Givers”, and planning to publish it on ChangeThis.

“Giving to Givers” sounds simple, right? Then how is it that so many of us find ourselves surrounded not by givers, but by takers. Takers are people who know best how to use our skills, knowledge and connections to their own advantage, but when it comes to giving something in return… well, that’s a whole different story. Just think what your life would be like if you had a few quality people in your close and immediate circle. People who have built high quality networking systems or hold key positions, who could really help you achieve your goals in life. If you were able to maintain a genuine, mutual value relationship with them, you could have a great team that would be actively “working” for you. It does not mean that you pay them for their help, knowledge, advice or contacts, but rather they will be looking out for your best interests, exactly as you look out for theirs! You are surrounding yourself with people who will constantly be looking out for opportunities- just for you!
If you would like to read this manifesto, please vote (and mail to your friends) here.
Thanks,
Opher.

LinkedIn is an amazing platform fot networkers. Most of you you must have heard about LinkedIn, and some of you are even among the 9 Million people registered on this site. But unfortunately, only a few use the real potential of it (from business oppurtunities to job searching).
I believe everyone (who wants to excel in networking) should have an in depth acquintance of this tool. Before going over my tips, I recommend the following readings:
- Guy Kawasaky’s insights on LinkedIn – usage and profile makeover.
- An excellent review and guide for this platform from The Global Human Capital Journal:
- LinkedIn course by Rick Upton
- LinkedIn power forum - (including great flash tours).
To stay updated I really recommend adding to your RSS Reader some (all?) of this LinkedIn dedicated blogs - LinkedIn Intelligence, My LinkedIn Life, LinkedIn User Manual and LinkedIn Notes.
If you’re intrested to know who are the top linked (in) people on LinkedIn you can visit TopLinked.com.
That’s all for now. Follow the links, and next time we will go over the major rules, in order to master this valuable tool.
Best regards,
Opher.

This week, my good friend Janet Switzer — income strategist to renowned small businesses like Chicken Soup for the Soul — is announcing the definitive book for those of us who want to create substantial new income in just hours, days or weeks.
It’s called “Instant Income®: Strategies That Bring In the Cash for Small Businesses, Innovative Employees and Occasional Entrepreneurs” — and Janet has over $2,000 worth of bonus gifts in store for you when you purchase the book online during its initial launch period.
Among the audio programs, courses and ebooks you will find one gift that stands out. One gift that you know that it all alone worth buying the book. This gift is Brayer Group’ Exclusive Networking - The Art of Giving to Givers 10 week eCourse! And of course you know, that this is my objective opinion (-;
You can read all about the FREE bonus gifts here.
But don’t wait! You must act soon to take advantage of this outstanding offer. More than $2,000 worth of gifts are waiting for you — yet the Instant Income book costs under $20 when you buy it online. Click here for details.
Of course, the early reviews on this book have been outstanding:
T. Harv Eker said, “You have a choice. You can spend 10 million dollars or 10 lifetimes to learn this rare information..or you can read this book. Everything you need is in it.”
Sandra in California said, “I took my book to Starbucks on Sunday afternoon about 1:00 and the next thing I knew, it was dark outside, I had notes everywhere and I couldn’t wait to email my assistant with all of the ‘we can do this right now’ ideas!”
Les Brown said, “In just 20 minutes on a Tuesday evening, Janet Switzer gave me a complete strategy for boosting revenues in my company. By Thursday afternoon, we had brought in an extra $332,650. The Instant Income system works so well, the results will take your breath away.”
And those are just a few of the glowing comments! Not only will business owners benefit from this book, but employees will learn how to substantially boost their paycheck, too. Janet even includes a step-by-step companion guide, the ‘Instant Income 10-Day Turnaround Program’ for earning urgently needed cash. Remember, Janet has been the income generation specialist to many of the most renowned entrepreneurs in the world — Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Les Brown, Jay Abraham, Yanik Silver and others.
Janet even helps you determine which strategies will earn you the most money — in actual dollars — so you can prioritize which strategies to tackle first. (Her unique online planning tool even produces an entire customized strategy guide for you. Incredible!)
In friendship,
Opher Brayer
