Keeping Up With The Economic Climate

Copyright 2008 Vinny Ribas

Tough times are with us. Tougher times are still ahead. Tough times sometimes make people do drastic things, like close their business or sell anything they have of value that is not a necessity. Before things come to that, you might consider reinventing yourself and your business to match the economic climate. Your customers will support you, and you will even win some new customers over from your competitors if you become part of the solution for them.… Continue

Who Do You Know?

We’ve all heard a million times that “It is not what you know, but who you know that counts!” In business, who you know can make all of the difference between your success and failure. Having a large address book filled with people you can call on at any time means you can quickly find answers to questions you have, find problem solvers when you need them, get advice on preventing issues before they arise and open doors that might otherwise be closed.

At 12:36pm on June 7, 2009, Sudhir Krishnan said…: Hello Vinny. I live in India, and my friend just moved to Franklin. Both of us are working hard to expand our new venture. I found this website while trying to network myself in Tennessee area. It wouldn't be fair on my side if I continued using this website without thanking your for the great initiative you have put together here.

I really enjoy using this website and being a part of this group and will certainly do anything in my power and knowledge to improve it, when required.

It would be great if you could guide me on how I can further improve my networking. It looks like a tough job, as I don't exist in that area physically.

Thanks again Vinny :D

At 1:09pm on May 5, 2009, Jason Nickell said…: You are so right in your last entry , morally we must be better than the competition. (customer loyalty) is where its at , if they know your truthful and are there to help , you gain respect and thats the only way get customers to stay with what you offer no matter what the next guy has.

At 10:56pm on April 5, 2009, Jason Nickell said…: Hello again , just thought I would say hi and hope all is well I have been recomending this to alot of business owners that I meet in Nashville . well any ways I hope to be at one of the meetings soon .

At 11:41pm on March 2, 2009, Jason Nickell said…: Hey Vinny I need to get some conference meetings started in Nashville to show people how to earn an extra income with lightyear, do you know any one who would be interested ? thanks......

At 11:38pm on February 24, 2009, Jason Nickell said…: Thanks for the reply, hope to meet everybody soon at one of our meetings.
