THE POWER OF INTENSE NETWORKING

Eve and I have never been on a cruise before, but one of our former mentors, Tracy Repchuk, is a VIP / speaker on Mike Filsaime’s Marketers’ Cruise around the Caribbean, so it seems a great way to meet fellow marketers and entrepreneurs in a convivial atmosphere and try cruising, plus catch up with the lovely and very talented Tracy.

We stayed one night in a pre-cruise hotel and already made new friends with the delightful Amanda and Rob van der Gulik and Emma Tiebens. We can see ourselves working with them!

We’re cruising to Cozumel (Eve and I have been diving there when we holidayed in Mexico), Belize, Isla Roatan (Honduras), and seeing Mayan ruins in Yucatan Peninsula.

Wow-first evening of the cruise and already we’ve secured a Joint Venture (JV) to write and edit a multi-authored book with a best-selling Amazon author, our old mentor Tracy Repchuk!

That’s our top tip for 2010: the power of JVs. Keep your minds open to the possibilities of working with other people to capitalise on one another’s strengths and get access to each mailing list or database.

Have a great year!
