Referral Marketing: Catalytic People

There are three kinds of people in the world:

Those that make things happen ...

Those that watch things happen ...

And those that wonder what the heck just happened!

People that watch things happen are idlely watching the world go by from the safety of their office or home (or tent in this photo). They don't venture out too often to network and therefore are not making many efforts to develop new relationships through networking.

Catalytic people, on the other hand, are those that make things happen. Without a catalyst, there is no spark, and not much gets done. Catalytic people possess initiative, intention, confidence, and motivation. These people don't sit still. They are leaders and operate under the "get things done now" mode. They create their own luck, define their goals, and learn the goals of others in order to help them. They have confidence in themselves and in their referral team members. Their confidence is contagious. Catalytic people not only are motivated themselves, but they also know how to motivate others.

Are you a catalytic person for your network?
Who are the other catalytic people in your network?

It's your job to be the team captain of your network, to motivate your team members by giving of yourself.
