You don’t open a business without a business plan, so why would you go to an appointment without an expected outcome? You shouldn’t. It is a waste of your time and the time of those you are seeing. They don’t say “Time is Money” for nothing. Time is the one thing you can’t get back….EVER! It is a Priceless commodity!

Every meeting, appointment, or networking event is an opportunity that has been opened up to you and it is your duty and responsibility to seize it! Know in advance what you want to walk away with so that it is in the forefront of your mind; enabling your eyes and ears to be more open to recognizing additional opportunities that you may capitalize on. This will ensure you feel fulfilled by the time you leave.

Stop short changing yourself and others! Plan ahead!
