End of the Year Recommendation: Follow Keith Ferrazzi

Tuesday, December 29, 2009 – 18:18

It’s getting close to the end of the year and everybody is thinking about New Year’s resolutions and what to change next year. Let me recommend you something. If you are looking for something to have a real impact on your personal or business life, read the books of Keith Ferrazzi and his blog. You might already know “Never Eat Alone” so go ahead and give his new book “Who’s Got Your Back?” a go. Let Keith explain what it’s all about:

And if you are still thinking about if all this social media stuff like Facebook and Twitter is worth it, read this amazing story of Keith how Twitter let him connect with people he didn’t know in Guatemala and how they became friends.

So, my recommendation for 2010: Get you a Twitter account and follow Keith Ferrazzi @keithferrazzi

Have a great 2010!

One Step Ahead

Tuesday, October 23, 2007 – 16:00

Now that I finished reading Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi (it’s really great!), I started to read another famous book: Love Is The Killer App: How to Win Business and Influence Friends by Tim Sanders.

That’s what it is about. Another great book about business, networking and marketing. And how to become a person that will have a deep impact on other people’s life. It was recommended to me by several US photographers and because I’ve already read The Likeability Factor: How to Boost Your L-Factor and Achieve Your Life’s Dreams by Tim Sanders it was no question that I will buy this book too.

In short: Tim Sanders believes love is the crucial element in the search for personal and professional success. His definition of love business is: the act of intelligently and sensibly sharing your intangibles with your bizpartners. While our intangibles are our knowledge, our network and our compassion. Tim Sanders believes that these are the keys to true bizlove.

Read it and you will understand how right he is!

If you are interested to explore more go to stalk Tim Sanders’ blog about business, culture and spirit: Sanders Says

Also watch Tim Sanders’ videos on YouTube. I especially like The XBox Story he uses to illustrate the power of compassion. Watch it here:

Read this! Never Eat Alone, by Keith Ferrazzi

Wednesday, September 19, 2007 – 12:27

Recently I noticed how important it is to read books. Not just novels for entertainment (currently I’m reading Harry Potter before falling asleep :) but also books about running a business. You can learn so much by reading a good book. A lot of great authors share their knowledge, their wisdom with you. Knowledge they elaborated over years and years of work. Profit from them! And start sharing too! (remember my post about sharing? **CLICK HERE** or for another post about the importance of sharing **CLICK HERE**)

If you run your own business you will notice how important networking is. Keith Ferrazzi is like the guru in this field. He teaches you that networking doesn’t just mean exchange of business cards. But more importantly networking means connecting with people, making new friends and keep the connection with people you already know alive. Connect with people, share things with them and care about them. Truly. It is a skill you can learn. And you should do so.

I’m just reading Keith Ferrazzi’s famous book Never Eat Alone. I recommend this book, it will open your eyes. Especially if you always refused networking because you thought it’s a bad habit to use connections. It’s not. It’s vital.

Check also Keith Ferrazzi’s Never Eat Alone Blog if you are interested in some more information about networking and how it can help you to grow your business.

The book is also available in German: Geh nie alleine essen!
