I know what he’s thinking, I understand now. How often have you thought to yourself … I know, just by looking into their eyes, what he or she is thinking, by simply observing body language. Have you ever said to yourself: ‘I wish I had the words?’ Only to find out that none were required,…

‘Hey Charlie, I think I’m getting comfortable with this networking ‘thing’ now. I do understand when you say that it’s all about spending time, being familiar with the expectation, you’re right, it takes a while.’ Good things take time Ben … the key is to stay the course and following through. ‘Well, I’m managing the routine…

‘Busy connecting, that’s me Charlie … it’s looking good.’ Ben and I had been discussing his latest steps toward independence from business with mum and dad and now the conversation has moved to the new found sales network.
