People To Meet

Recently I sent out an email to a group of people who had written articles for Jeffrey Gitomer’s ezine “Sales Caffeine” to introduce them to the Zen Rabbit Gratitude Program. I took a guess that since we had all contributed to this publication and were presumably Jeffrey fans, we probably had similar philosophies about client appreciation. And lists of clients or other contacts who might feel the same too. As I pressed “send,” I set the expectation that this email would reach and inspire the “right” people to respond. In other words, I knew not everyone would resonate with that email. But the ones who did would be the ones I was supposed to connect with.

As it turns out, I was right. I have since had some amazing phone conversations and made some fantastic contacts! Today I did a podcast interview with Tara Robinson, owner and CEO of Zugunruhe Coaching on the Gratitude Cookie and the importance of gratitude in general. Check back here for the link to that podcast, which is set to air in early April. During our first conversation last week, Tara commented that she and I are from the same tribe. I totally agree and it’s so cool to find someone with whom you have that connection. Check out Tara’s amazing blog here: http://zugunruhecoaching.typepad.com

Jason Seiden is another person I “met” through this email. Jason runs Seiden & Associates in Chicago - a consulting group that helps “professionals translate improved self-awareness into revenue- and productivity-enhancing behaviors.” He’s also an author and is getting ready for the release of his book “How to Self-Destruct.” He sent me an advanced copy and I’m about one third of the way through it. Again, check back here for the complete review once I’m finished. In the meantime, you can get a preview at http://jasonseiden.com/how-to-self-destruct.

And thirdly, I have to tell you about Wes Moss. Wes’ purpose in life, through his books, radio show, and professional career, is to help people make better financial decisions. He’s the author of the books “Make More, Worry Less” and “Starting from Scratch.” I’ve just come back from the library with “Starting from Scratch.” Guess I’m going to be quite busy reading this week! Visit his website at http://www.wesmoss.com.

When you open yourself to letting the universe bring you the people and experiences you are “supposed” to find, you get what I can only describe as awesomeness. Today I’m grateful for my new friends.
