*Stop My Stalker* A Law Alabama Needs Now

Your Voice Counts…Help Spread The Message And Stop Stalkers Today

Thanksgiving weekend is a holiday weekend filled with food, family, shopping, travels, sports, and fond memories.

But, giving thanks for all of the blessings you have received is the focus of this holiday weekend and for this reason I have chosen this time to introduce you to a project that I feel deserves high merit and recognition…Tracy’s Law.

Brian Morris, Just B Creative Marketing & Advertising, is now highly focused on bringing attention to his venture that may help stop stalkers before it’s too late.

On January 2, 1999, Brian’s sister, Tracy Lynn Morris, age 33, was killed by a 22 year old man who had been stalking her for more than 2 years. Unfortunately there were no laws in place to assist her in stopping this man..

Brian is diligently working to make sure that this type of horrendous act never happens to you or someone in your family. He has created a website Stop My Stalker where you can get more information about stalkers and ways to stop them. And, you can tell your story if you feel it can help others in the same situation, or just get some advice.

As a fellow member of BNI, Brian has reached out to his network of friends and business associates and asked us to help him spread the word about a new law he will be introducing to the Alabama State Legislature in 2011. And, that’s what we do in BNI…we support our collegues. Please watch the attached video and share it with everyone you can to help gain interest for Brian’s special project.

In January, Brian will be presenting documentation and statistics to the legislature that will hopefully give the legislators the information they need to pass “Tracy’s Law.” If passed, this law will give those of you who are being stalked legal rights to get those people off of the streets before it’s too late.

Please join us in helping bring more visibility to this issue by visiting Brian’s website Stop My Stalker and by making him a friend on Facebook (make sure you hit the like button and help spread the word about his project). This will give Brian more statistics to show the Alabama Legislators that a law to protect your family and friends MUST be passed now.

Keith Ferrazzi Crashes Servers With Business Relationship Mastery Program

I had the pleasure this week to attend an almost 2-hour free webinar hosted by Keith Ferrazzi on his “Networking Secrets for Thriving in Totally Screwed-Up Times!”

As always, Keith over delivered. So much in fact….that his over 5,000 attendees were literally crashing his servers (so much actually that he offered a few special “deals” to make up for the crashing).

When Keith Ferrazzi starts giving out networking secrets, people from around the world sit up and listen. Keith is well-known for his books “Never Eat Alone” and “Who’s Got Your Back.” And, he’s known for hosting his networking dinners where participants share intimate stories about their lives and careers and their journey to better business success.

This week, Keith unveiled his Business Relationship Mastery Program where he discussed 7 missions in the program. Some of the topics he touched on really hit a chord…..especially when he started out his webinar by quoting an IBM study that found that basically for every contact you had on LinkedIn should add an additional $948 in income to your business. Without getting into the details of the study, the basis of this study is to show you the importance of social media to your business.

Keith’s 7 Missions:

1. Write down one professional goal and then 3 people that can help you attain that goal.
2. Manage your targets: Prioritize those three people above and focus attention where it counts. Measure the intimacy strength of each relationship.
3. Expand your currency: Do your homework  on the three people and prepare a way you can help them.
4. Accelerate every interaction. Find a way to care. “A good networker does research on companies…a great networker does research on people.”
5. Build lifetime relationships: build lifelong relationships from these people. Find yourself mentors and ambassadors.
6. Build your personal brand: use social media to market your brand.
7. Reach out and Ping someone: Make contact with people, have coffee, lunch, dinner, call them, write them a letter.
