You should definitely join LinkedIn. If you're already a member, explore it - especially the "network" tab on your profile page. A year ago, Gary Dale Cearley in Vietnam sent me an invitation and he set the system to automatically send me another invitation every ten days. I finally joined in March as the email was being sent to an address that had simply become overwhelming. I have never met Gary "live". We were introduced through email by Devin Standard. So 10 months ago I joined and was immediately connected to Gary and indirectly connected to much of his network.

[For those of you who are constantly on the lookout for someone trying to take your money, this service is amazingly free.]

I've mentioned some of this before, especially in the following post:


From-519200

From 1 direct connection last March, I have now 119 direct connections. This works like six degrees of separation, except only to four degrees. Now that you know the first degree, here are some more great numbers:
2nd degree - 4700+, 3rd degree - 153,900+, 4th - 621,600+, 29,700+ users who can be contacted without a referral, and total users in my network now stands at 810,200+.

If you're not a little amazed at the power of LinkedIn, maybe you should be. You can connect with those people if you have something relevant to say. You send a request through someone you are directly connected to and we act as screeners for each other so that only relevant requests are passed on. Just like an introduction "live", but through the internet where a lot of relevant information about each other is right there.

Other great numbers for me:
11,600+ in Professional Training and Coaching

6,500+ in Greater San Diego Area

8% of my network is in U.K.

This last bit brings up a great point which is that you might not see me as directly helpful to you, but if you're in the U.K., chances are we both speak English enough to communicate with each other and I can be a bridge to others in the U.K. or wherever else. Here are some more numbers in my network:

7% of my network is in Greater New York City Area

3% - Netherlands

3% - Greater Los Angeles Area

6% - Management Consulting

2% - Staffing and Recruiting

3% - Financial Services

Now, is it possible that you would like to connect with me on LinkedIn? Who do you know that can be of help to me? Who do I know that can be of help to you? Email me and let's see.
