The Power Of Collaboration
World Renowned Author and Business Woman Elinor Stutz wrote this article for one of her publications this week. Thanks to Elinor for the great article and Thanks to Malathy Drew of Heart-Centered Networking and the Whispering Energy Collaboration for bringing it to my attention.

Based upon my own recent experience, I wanted to ask each of you, Are you familiar with the power of collaboration?
Before you enter into any type of business agreement you must know your own rules for conducting business. Where do you draw the line in the sand and say “No, this business isn’t worth it.”?
After you develop your rules, find others who similarly approach business and offer services that complement yours. Interview several until you find the right fit for a collaborative effort. By combining forces, you attract each other’s clientele as well as new prospects who are attracted to your new combined effort.
Imagine finding a select group of people who approach business in a similar manner and who complement one another. Now add teaching classes on your specialty within the group to bring everyone up to speed. You soon have a very savvy group to interact with as a sounding board and as a marketing team.
The right group will become a magnetic power of attraction reaching markets far and wide helping you to increase business.
I am fortunate to have found Whispering Energy, aptly named. Our combined energy has attracted much attention for us as individuals and served us as a whole. We each believe being in business is meant to serve your clients and communities at large.
Final advice comes from my book, Nice Girls DO Get the Sale: Realationship Building That Gets Results:
1. Plan quiet time to think about your business
2. Think B-I-G
3. Listen to your intuition
In closing, work to make it a Smooth Sale!
