In the middle of the work week it's important to keep your energy reserves up so you can keep going and perform at your best levels. If you know about your personal power profile you can use that information on Wednesdays to recharge and keep running strong for the rest of the week.
This month's Wilmington IT Infusion networking meeting was held at 27 N. Front Street in downtown Wilmington, NC. The meeting was at Buenaspace, a new collaborative workspace for entrepreneurs, telecommuters, freelancers, and anyone else who can use a low commitment, environmentally minimal footprint shared wordspace with a high tech flavor. Check it out at www.BuenaSpace.com.
We met several new people, caught up with friends, and learned a lot about buenaspace and the workspace concept. There are two companies with private offices in buenaspace: digieffects, a video after effects company; and Wide Open Technologies, a business technologies service firm. In addition to the private offices (the walls are glass so they're not exactly hidden), there are 15 divided desktop spaces, a conference room, video editing room, break out/lounge/kitchen area, locker room, and two rest rooms.
The guy below is Robert Sharp, President of difieffects. Robert's also one of the partners in buenaspace.

Video editing room (the PC setup is on it's way).
A view of the two front offices. One thing to note is how light and bright the space was. Those windows face east and the event didn't start until 5:30PM. There was certainly plenty of light - to the point that it was hard for me not to overexpose a lot of my photos with my limited speed digital camera. All that light may not be great for digital images, I suppose, but it's great for a workspace.
We met Art Thingulstad, a systems engineer who attended the WITI event.
Marge liked the zebra graphics on the wall so she asked me to pose in front of one.
There I am trying to be clever pointing out the conference room.
Rebecca Powell of BecAndCall and Marge Brown of Fat City Cards.
Robert Sharp and Bruce Brown, up to no good and posing to no purpose but silliness - which I suppose is as good a purpose as many.
Designer Kelly Cain Smith, Andrew Gray of TayloeGray (they're the ones who designed, created, and try to help Marge and I color between the lines at QuantumResultsCoaching.com), and Sarah Barbee of FussBudgetPromotions.
David Merrill of Hertz Local, and the creator of WilmingtonNetworkingEvents.com networking event calendar arrived at the same time as Lauren Formalarie of Carolina Coastal Concepts, a social media training, consulting, and maintenance firm.
(Moderate) crowd scene.
More folks arrived and dug in to conversations.
And then I noticed this screw in the middle of the space between the floor and a pretty hefty steel beam at the ceiling. My first thought was it was decorative.
But on closer inspection and with more thought I realized it's likely functional. I suppose if some engineer, designer, or coder gets extremely frustrated, she or he could come out to the middle of the space and literally raise the roof. I do suspect you'd need a strong bar and a stronger back to turn it, however.

So we had a good time, met some new folks, and got to check out a new type of workspace in the heart of Wilmington's historic district. Thanks to all involved for hosting the event.

It's another great day in Southeastern North Carolina as we head into Memorial Weekend. Consider that the only time you can ever get anything done, whether it's work or play, for yourself or others, is RIGHT NOW!
Big day today. Weekly newsletter, Bruce Brown at the Edge goes out in the AM and then I leave for a K and M Networking event in North Myrtle Beach to talk about Networking Mastery.
[Note - this post was originally put up on our Quantum Results Coaching blog, just this morning, but I wanted to repost it here to be sure it gets widest distribution - Bruce
Yesterday our web site went live and we are very pleased. Not only do we have the web site we wanted, we also have gained new friends in Nathan Tayloe and Andrew Gray, the owners of Tayloe & Gray marketing and web design firm in Wilmington, NC.
Nathan Tayloe and Andrew Gray
We probably weren't their toughest clients ever, at first anyway, because we knew what we wanted in three crucial elements of a web site: design; function; and content. They dug right in and made rapid progress on the site.
And then we changed two of our elements, several times. We altered the functions quite a bit and we changed the content. We also threw in a twist when we requested our site be converted to WordPress when they were very close to the finish.
Nevertheless, Nathan and Andrew came through for us and we appreciate them and their work.
So here we are, in our own words:
Thanks, Andrew and Nathan, you guys did a solid job for us. We look forward to working with you as we make the inevitable changes over the years.
We made their job a bit trickier because of other influences in our web design and function.
Ali Brown
Marge and I are students of Ali Brown and took her Online Success Blueprint course in early 2009. From that course we had a clear sense of the basic design for our web site, including the basic layout, the newsletter sign up box in the top right of the banner, and the inclusion of links to partners and teachers.
Bob "Bob the Teacher" Jenkins
This year we enrolled in Bob "Bob the Teacher" Jenkins' SIMPLE 10K program which was fortuitously held in Wilmington and it was Bob who strongly suggested we convert the site to WordPress (something Nathan had originally suggested but to which we'd said "No").
We asked for feedback for color schemes but eventually went with the bold colors you now see. Three people unwittingly influenced us in deciding to go with our preferred color scheme.
Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood with Marge and Bruce.
Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood, the developers of and our teachers and mentors in The Passion Test from whom we've learned so much and on whose work we now base so much of our coaching, gave us the easy decision-making process to choose the colors that fit us best.
Fabienne Frederickson
Fabienne Frederickson of Client Attraction was another style and color inspiration.
Since I'm on a roll here thanking and acknowledging people, there are three others who have made a difference in our web site content and design. Wendy Hunt

Justin Williams
NBM Magazine took the photos of Marge and I that are on the home page banner. Wendy was shooting us for a feature in NBM Magazine about our 31 Days Mastery books and both she and Justin gave us permission to use extra photos from that session for this web site and for other purposes.
Alfred Poor
And last, one of our best friends, Alfred Poor, who is also the owner of Desktop Wings, Inc. and our publisher, and has certainly forgotten more about most subjects than I will ever hope to know, served as a patient sounding board for our web site project.
So Nathan and Andrew brought our web site to life, but it wasn't without the influence and assistance from a bunch of other fine folk, some of whom never even knew they were involved.
As we now say as Southern Transplants who still have roots in New England, "Thanks to all y'all."
I'm sitting here grinning while I type. We're about to launch 'Bruce Brown at the Edge', a free weekly e-zine (aka an email newsletter). The content will include short (I promise) pieces with tips, advice, tools, techniques, insights and resources.
(If you'd rather not read the rest but want to subscribe to check it out just fill out the form below)
The consistent theme of the newsletter pieces will be about you being successful. We're calling it 'Bruce Brown at the Edge' because there will be two perspectives:
Getting ready to make your next big business or personal leap
Actually making the leap into great success and your life purpose
As you know (or will soon find out), I believe we are each here for a unique purpose. Our individual combination of skills and gifts suit us perfectly to attain our purpose. As we learn about or realize our purpose, it's helpful to be sure we're ready to make the leap. Also, if we are truly aligned with our purpose and committed to it, sometimes it's a bit scary to "jump off the edge". And that's why I'm writing this newsletter. It's also why I founded Quantum Results Coaching.
You see, I know my purpose. My purpose is to help as many people as possible become fully successful in life following their passions to achieve their own purpose.
'Bruce Brown at the Edge' will be focused on providing the best information I can to help you get ready to make the leap and then to actually make the leap into the best life you've ever imagined - your personal, unique purpose.
So please subscribe, if you're interested. The first issue will be out soon and I'd love for you to be with us in the beginning. You can always easily subscribe and don't worry, we won't do anything bad with your email address like sell it or share it with others - we promise.
It's easy to subscribe to 'Bruce Brown at the Edge'. Just fill in the form below. And please, feel free to forward this info to others.
In the early 1970s Marge and I took an intensive weekend course called Adventures in Attitudes. That was the first of many personal development courses, books, and training experiences I have experienced in the last four decades. Most of the seminars, teachers, books, workshops and so forth have been helpful, lending insight and in some cases helping me make significant directional shifts in my life. A few of the experiences stand out as pivotal for me personally, including Brian Klemmer's K&A Samurai training series of personal mastery and leadership workshops and Eckhardt Tolle's book The Power of Now. And now there is another.
I'm elated to introduce you to The Passion Test. As I say in the short video below, The Passion Testis a book, a test, and a system. It can be different things to different people because it contains much more, but at it's core The Passion Test is about helping people discover what is truly important in their lives and then changing their lives so they align more closely with their passions.
Here's the video:
Marge and I both found The Passion Test an easy to use yet profound tool and system. When we recommended the book to friends, we were quite surprised how most, whose experience with personal development seminars, teachers and books ranged from none at all to extensive, felt this book and the system it presents is extremely valuable.
Based on our personal experiences Marge and I sought and achieved certification to be Passion Test Workshop Facilitators. What that means is we are licensed to offer 3-hour Passion Test Workshops and also a two-session One-on-One Passion Test Course.
We would be delighted to speak with you about The Passion Test and how you might use it. You can also find more information on The Passion Test as well as a free Passion Test Profile you can online with an immediate report, please click on this link.

This tip or strategy is actually more a philosophy or strategic attitude about business relationships. The message is one of abundance. Share your contacts, be free with suggesting and assisting new relationships, and make a focused effort to introduce your contacts to others.
Don't adopt the attitude or behavior that suggests you want to keep your contacts (clients, customers, prospects, and friends) to yourself. If you have a protective, excluding attitude, neither you nor your business will be attractive to new people - others might very well come to see you and your company, or at least your part of it as a closed group, or at least not a welcoming group, and look elsewhere.
One of the largest networking organizations, BNI (Business Networking International) has the slogan, "Givers gain." BNI succeeds because of its structured networking organization where chapters meet weekly and there can be only one representative per industry - while on the surface that policy may seem exclusive, in reality there are many opportunities within BNI to develop relationships outside the group and the welcoming, open atmosphere and attitude of most chapters demonstrates the members' practice of the organization's credo.
I'm not suggesting you refer all your clients to direct competitors and give away your business, but I do firmly believe that as you are open to make, develop, and share relationships with an ever-expanding circle of contacts, it benefits everyone, most especially you!
Here's a classic relationship marketing tip that still works - and for many is their main method of doing business. Seek and play with your significant business contacts.
"Working" on the golf course or tennis courts as a means of solidifying and building relationships isn't a new idea and of course not for everyone, but just because this behavior has been around for a long time doesn't mean it no longer works. Golf and tennis continue to draw 100's of thousands of business people on regular schedules who have fun, get exercise, and do business.
Golf and tennis aren't the only outlets, of course. Adult soccer, rugby, and lacrosse leagues, certainly bowling leagues, running, biking, and swimming clubs, the list goes on and on of active sports activities where adults congregate and do business.
Often there are other events and opportunities before, after, or associated with group athletic pursuits that may involve other activies together or even include other family members.
It is also easy to lose sight of the marketing purpose that might have initially justified the play, however, so watch out for signs that you're actually avoiding work in the name of "marketing". For example, if you play golf with the same three other guys every week, that activity is hardly expanding your customer base. Also, while drinking and gambling are often a side element associated with some sporting pursuits (golf is especially associated with betting), if involvement in any sport is really an excuse to get plastered or if gambling gets out of hand, the effect on your business as well as your life can be the opposite of the original intention (at least the original "stated" intention).
Shared physical pursuits, whether in service projects, charity walks, or active sports participation are a powerful way to contribute to the community and enjoy life while simultaneously building business relationships.
Pass on info about good training events to your friends and contacts. Everyone in business needs training on a regular basis to keep up with trends, to learn new concepts and even for refresher in the basics. But there's a hitch -- many people don't get the training that can help them in their business for a whole raft of reasons: not enough time; didn't know about it; hard to know what's good; don't want to go alone; and so on.
So you be the one who knows about the best training in the area, perhaps for your specific field, but definitely for general business topics (that way you can share the info with more contacts). Have a mechanism, maybe a list on your blog or newsletter, or maybe just jot down good upcoming training events on a 3x5 card and carry it with you.
Even more powerful for you than just telling people about good training, go together. If the experience is a good one, and the stronger the better, a shared positive experience promotes powerful bonding.
Training classes or seminars are also good places to meet new people and broaden your personal sphere, which holds true for the people you attend with as well. Therefore, if you and a few friends do attend training together, balance your attention and time on the people you went with and with the opportunity to meet new people and add new relationships. Make this a conscious effort and be transparent about it, make sure you inform the people you go with and also encourage them, too, to make the most of the training opportunity to meet others.
This tip isn't appropriate for all of your contacts, but if you discover a book that you find particularly relevant and useful to business people, pass on the title to others.
Because most business people are very busy, especially self-employed entrepreneurs but also high achievers in any industry, and also because there are thousands of books published each month, it is very helpful to get recommendations for useful or inspiring titles. This tip extends to online content as well, including websites, blogs, useful videos, and webinars.
If you read, listen to, or view content you find helpful for your business, chances are you know someone else who will benefit from it. So pass on the suggestion to help your friends gain as you did and strengthen your relationship at the same time.
One of the best way for business people and professionals to differentiate from competition is to get published in local, regional, or even national publications. Because writing about topics relevant to one's business or profession confers an aura of expertise, more people should seek opportunities to contribute articles to publications.
In addition to writing articles yourself, you can do great service to other business people if you uncover opportunities for them to write for local publications. If you discover a publication that is seeking contributions in someone's field let them know about it.
If you use this marketing technique yourself, ask the editors what other subjects they are seeking articles about. You might even pre-pitch your friends or contacts and suggest articles they might contribute that would be in alignment with the publication's mission or market.
By helping your friends market, you build your relationship, it's as simple as that.
Here's another tip that's a multiple win for you and your contacts. Ask your contacts to help support community events or work on charitable projects. For example, volunteering and working on a Habitat for Humanity house building project can be a great bonding experience at the same time providing significant value to the community.
There may be lots of opportunities to recruit people for fund-raising events or campaigns, but I'd recommend more active projects. Fund raising is important and great to be involved in, but if at least part of your motivation is to build relationships with people with whom you volunteer, the typical fund raising scenario where everyone gets an office or cubicle and makes calls to potential donors isn't all that conducive to relationship-building.
The best projects to recruit for when you're also working on relationship building are short term projects that require physical effort - that's why a Habitat for Humanity project is so good. Particularly if your efforts result in a visible addition to a community or the region, every time you see it it can remind you of the joint experience.
