Dear Friends
I am delighted to invite you to join one of the most exciting business networks in London: MEET&LINK
MEET&LINK is a new business networking group that operates in North West London.
MEET&LINK has developed a new model of networking which enables members to establish personal relationships, and gain exposure and access to members’ networks through referrals. Additionally, members of the group share knowledge and expertise in various areas and enjoy each others’ advise and support.
Here are the essential details:
- MEET&LINK is intended for business people and professionals
- Members’ occupations include psychology, architecture, real-estate, nutrition & weight loss, IT, banking, internet, finance, charity, child minding, and many more.
- MEET&LINK currently operates one group in North West London with a scope to open more groups in other areas of London later this year.
- Groups meet once every two weeks
- Members’ ages are 30 to 60
- Group size: 15-20 people
Structure of meetings:
Meetings are designed in a way that would offer the highest return for participants:
- At the beginning of each meeting each participant presents their business or product to the group. Each presentation is allocated 1 minute.
- During each meeting, one member is invited to give a presentation about his business or product for 10 minutes
- Next members report on any new partnerships which have been formed through MEET&LINK
- During each meeting, one member presents an issue that he or she may be facing and ask members’ advise and support. This part of the meeting involves brain-storming and mastermind skill sharing, where members can support each other and contribute.
- Towards the end of the meeting members choose 3 members to have a 10 minute one-on-one meeting with.
MEET&LINK offers its members opportunities to open doors and increase exposure and access to their businesses, through personal contact and acquaintance. The collaborations and partnerships formed through MEET&LINK are documented to enable the evaluation of the benefits of MEET&LINK membership.
MEET&LINK is a proof that even in our digital-virtual networking world – nothing can replace the power and effectiveness of personal contact.
Networking definitely works!
The next event will take place on Tuesday 2nd June at 7.30pm.
Venue: North West London – the exact location will be given upon registration
Price: £5

Is The Bad Economy Making You Afraid of Success? by www.Sedona.com
Leave a Comment
Everywhere you turn people’s minds and media headlines seem to be focused on the same things: doom and gloom about the state of the economy, fear of losing their job or running out of money, struggles just to make basic ends meet.
Unfortunately, this is the situation in the economy right now, not just an exaggerated speculation. As the Chicago Sun-Times recently reported, many middle-class Americans are now struggling to maintain the American Dream.
It takes a family of four $50,000 just to pay for bare essentials like food, housing and health care, according to the Heartland Alliance, which is more than many at the lower end of the middle-class earn. Again, this is just the basics — no vacations, no savings for college or retirement, preschool or private school … just food, housing and health care.
“Our definition of middle class has shifted a bit,” said Heartland senior research analyst Amy Terpstra on HeartlandAlliance.org.”The cost of our basic needs have really increased at a time when our incomes have declined.”
At times like these, who are you to be thinking about success?
Unfortunately, this is just the mindset that too many of us fall in to. With the economy like it is, our motivation and self-belief can plummet, and we become afraid of success.
Even in the best of times, becoming afraid of success is not uncommon. Some people are afraid of trying and failing. Others fear accomplishing their goals only to find they’re still not happy. While others believe success could cost them relationships if their friends or colleagues become intimidated by their success.
This is a vicious cycle and one that’s important to break free of because the more you worry about something, even success; the more you are holding in your mind the opposite of what you truly desire.
How to Stop Being Afraid and Start Being Successful
“The key to success in any time is having an optimistic and positive mental attitude. If you feel good about yourself and you know you can succeed you usually will. However, if you are simply putting a happy face on top of how you truly feel about your financial situation or about the economy that will not help you,” says Hale Dwoskin, CEO and director of training of Sedona Training Associates.
So even when times get tough, the secret to believing in yourself and being successful lies in letting go of your fear and negative thoughts. The Sedona Method can be your crucial support system to help you get through this. As soon as you learn its process of releasing, you can let go of the fears that are preventing you from achieving financial security, success and peace of mind.
“Through releasing the negative you uncover your natural positive and you can maintain this effortlessly no matter what is going on around you,” Dwoskin says. “The more you let go the more optimistic and motivated you will be and you’ll find that you have the energy and focus to follow through on creating your goals. Nothing can stand in your way unless you let it.”
