Happy New Year, and Happy New Decade my friends. We are headed in to 17 years now since I created "The Art of Active Networking".
I've taken my events and my concept of #MyGive4 to 17 cities, 5 countries and over 25,000 attendees. Together we have changed a lot of lives, helped a lot of people, made some extraordinary friendships and connected in an out of business in ways even I could not have dreamed of.
THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE AND SUPPORT AND MOST OF ALL FOR HELPING EACH OTHER!
Now we are in a new decade, and I am not certain I will continue these events. While I consider this a success by all measures, flying over 100,000 miles a year is expensive, and producing these events anywhere except San Francisco makes little sense. San Francisco only makes sense because I own this spectacular building and my event space called TheBoxSF.com so we'll see!
I want to focus on The Pressroom and Mercantile here at The Box SF. Doing interesting creative events, and creating more fun collaborations in our private suites and event space upstairs.
I may produce an event or two this year, but will continue to cut back on those and instead make any event I do true to the principles of "The Art of Active Networking". That means we will continue to ask, "How can I help you do better right now?"
If you want to stay in touch with me, post to my walls those things you need, or if you want to offer ways to help others please do so on all our groups, pages and walls. If you wish to stay in touch with me personally, you may always call or message me as before.
If you have been a member of this group for years, and you never have wanted to show up for an event, consider leaving the group so that you don't continue to get my emails.
Finally, continue to be the missing piece in someone else's puzzle! Practice #MyGive4 every single day and watch your life and relationships change.
Remember #MyGive4 is giving 4 hours every single week to help others do better using 4 specific tasks:
Give of your ideas and talent freely!
Give of your time, volunteer!
Give of your money, donate!
Give of your network referrals, recognizing that "know, like and trust" must all be present in order to build powerful and passionate relationships!
And take care of yourselves, it is an honor to know each of you and your support has meant a great deal to me!!!
FOR NOW...BE WELL, BE CREATIVE, BE GREAT, BE GIVING!
