An Inconvenient Truth

Last night, I watched the movie by Al Gore, "An Inconvenient Truth". Regardless of your political opinion, this movie is a MUST SEE for any human being currently living on the planet earth! The evidence is astounding as to the desperate state of our planet today due to global warming. And more alarming is how little anyone (especially government officials) are willing to do about it, simply because it is inconvenient to make the changes necessary for global change.
At the current rate, in as little as 50 years, we could see a dramatic, and I mean DRAMATIC impact on our planet! What we all seem to forget is that no matter what your race, color, creed, nationality, orientation or whatever ... we are all connected in the cycle of life on this planet.

Why do I tell you this?

1. Because I believe that it's essential for everyone to see this movie and take action in some way!

2. Because many people view networking as an "inconvenient truth".

It's no secret that one must network to advance their business. The one thing that most people don't accept is that it takes WORK to make it work. It's the truth ... but it's inconvenient. Many people expect to show up and referrals will come to them. Many people think BNI is attending the weekly meeting. There is SO much more to networking than just showing up and attending weekly meetings!

In order for real change to happen to your referral process, you need to NetWORK! In order for real change to happen to this planet, it's going to take WORK as well! The point for both is that it's up to us ... each individual to do our part of the process.
