Hi Jim,

Just as I had explained to Sharon Williams,

Thank you for the vision. When I joined this social networking community this morning, I wasn't sure what I was going to do or how I was going to use this medium. Well, you've inspired me!!

Let me first begin by saying, I wasn't on board an hour and I had received your solicitation. When I looked at your public profile, I saw what it was that you were doing. You are throwing your business opportunity around targeting suspects at a rate of about 1 person per minute. In short, you are spamming a community that has a lot more to offer you than the prospect of recruiting unsuspecting, sometimes vulnerable and more likely, very successful business owners, distributors trying to build "their" businesses, business enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, marketing trainers, teachers and coaches. There is a lot of valuable information available that I discovered during my "first" hour of reading posts, blogs and personal profiles.

My first hour, and as I continue into my second, third, fourth, etc., is to learn from those who have gone before me. To learn about business initiatives, strategies, do’s and don’ts within this community – not to try to instill my ideas, values, “opportunity” or anything else upon anyone who has not asked me first. And how do you suppose I would attract someone to “ask” what it is that I do? Well, as a start, maybe I would begin to develop a relationship with a few individuals whom I have something to learn from – by asking questions and participating in commenting on their posts, blogs or other. Show them that I am really interested in what I had read and I crave more information – from them.

Finally, when the timing is right and it is my turn to give back to this community what was so freely offered to me, I will take a leadership role and write a post or blog. Maybe that which I have to offer, could inspire someone to become a bit more successful with what “they” are doing. Serve and be served – but serve first!!

Cheers
