Do you have a plan for who, what, when, where, how and why plan for your own network? This takes planning!

It can be done by the applicant or by a lawyer. If you chose to do it yourself, online medium offer a fairly easy way.

John Wooden and his legendary UCLA dynasty won 10 national championships (a record), including seven in a row (a record); 88 consecutive victories (a record); 38 straight tournament playoff wins (a record); 4 perfect seasons (a record) with only one losing year (his first) in 41 years of coaching. It was awe-inspiring to walk into UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion and see all of the national championships banners displayed; a testimony to the coaching leadership of perhaps the greatest coach of all time, Coach Wooden.
Coach Wooden would be the first to tell you that the planning, preparation, practice and performance count for everything in the competitive process. His coaching was centered in helping others achieve their own greatness by helping the team to succeed. Coach Wooden embodied and taught good habits.
A great business is built on good habits throughout the entire organization. As the business leader, you are responsible for embodying those good habits first and then teaching them to those on your business team.
Let’s look at just one good business habit: networking. Networking counts for a great deal in the competitive business process. Marketing, referrals, business partnerships and relationships are all part of the networking process. Effective networking helps everyone achieve what they need.
How do planning, preparation, practice and performance apply to networking? Planning, preparation, practice and performance are good habits. They are as essential to networking as they are to excellence in anything worthwhile.
Planning: Plan your network and network your plan. Coach Wooden meticulously planned every basketball practice! He knew exactly where he wanted to focus each player in every position every minute of the practice. Through careful planning, he left nothing to chance and honored the time devoted by all the players and staff.

So, you’ve started your own business. You saved the money, carefully constructed a business plan, thoroughly studied your potential consumers or clients based on their needs for your product or service, rented a space from which to work, hired a few people, and posted the “Open” sign on the door. But wait –more goes into business management that just planning your business, hiring employees, and selling a product or service. As a business owner, you need to consider risk management and insurance.The steps of risk management and purchasing insurance are some of the most important steps when it comes to business management.

Networking is the number one reason many people join organizations. When they don’t get the results they anticipate, they “blame” the group for not delivering on its promises.Most organizations provide opportunities for connections to occur rather than making the connections. While organizations need to shoulder the responsibility for offering creative and multiple venues locally and nationally, members also need to take more control of their destiny. They need to learn to network strategically rather than just network. Most people like to step up to the plate when they get to the room (and sometimes strike out!) rather than doing all the preparation inv

The economist Paul A. Samuelson once said, “Good questions outrank easy answers.”It's true. I found that a set of good questions about your prospect will uncover the revealing insights that you need to craft powerful sales copy. Yet these types of questions are hard to find. Few marketers even know what they are. The best marketers know them through sensitivity, instinct and intuition — a kind of knowledge and sensing that’s hard to put in writing.I had to search deep and wide to uncover these good questions. Since they're critical to successful sales-copy, the search was well worth it. Knowing the right questions to ask focuses your attention on what
Do you have a plan for who, what, when, where, how and why plan for your own network? This takes planning! It takes really thinking through whom you want to include in your network, what you want to accomplish through or for them, when and where you will meet, how often you will stay connected and why you are including them in your network. You will create an effective deep and wide network by meticulously planning your network and then networking your plan!
Preparation: Be prepared. Because Coach Wooden meticulously planned, the team was well prepared for every game scenario. His playbook was full of “what if” scenarios. As a result the team knew exactly what do in any given situation. They could execute under incredible pressure because they were well prepared.
Are you prepared to network? Do you have a well-crafted and memorable 30- second infomercial? Do you have professional-looking business cards that are easily accessible? Do you have time set aside in your calendar to meet with people? Do you have a follow-up system for new contacts and those already in your network? By being prepared, you will maintain sanity and professionalism!
Practice: Practice makes perfect. Coach Wooden believed that practice was to a game what rehearsal was to a play. He knew his players and how they were capable. He also expected his players to give their best effort in practice. Practice created confidence, honed skill and eliminated uncertainty. The effort in practice produced the win results of the game.
Networking is a practice: a practice focused on what’s best for each person. Each time you meet with either a new or established contact you are building a relationship. The quality of that relationship is predicated on how well you know each other and each other’s business needs. Are you staying up to date with each other? Is your antenna up for prospective referrals? Are you developing a power team to complement the services or products you provide? The effort of networking produces increased business results.
Performance: The world is your stage. Coach Wooden coined the phrase Competitive Greatness. Competitive Greatness is to be at your best when your best is needed. When your be
