Okay, ‘hate’ might be a bit too strong. And, now that we have readers in our house, I’m probably in tons of trouble, since I do not allow this word in our home…so let’s just say “dislike yourself *very* strongly”!

As you saw, I gave Powerful Networking equal time allotted to all my top business duties and responsibilities here.

Powerful Networking includes being a “connector” of people.

The more people see you as the go-to-woman who knows everyone, or at least is the most resourceful one they know that given any topic you are the person they ask for an appropriate introduction..then you ’sealed the deal’. You are the Go-To-Woman!

You *are* the Woman others Go-To irregardless of the particular products or services you provide…You are on the top of their mind, to find whoever, whatever, whenever they want!

Get it!?

The Coolest thing about all this “cool” stuff goin’ ’round, is that I’ll be sharing my greatest, up-to-date, research-based tips, tools and resources at my debut column with Entrepreneur.com’s new WomenEntrepreneur.com sister-site to unveil May 2007!

Power Networker Ponn – Powerful Networking Columnist for WomenEnterpreneur.com

Like, WOW! How totally cool is that!?

I’ve been at the edge of my seat almost everyday for over 2 months, with this “hot-top-secret-exciting-new” news…I couldn’t just shut my mouth…so, with their permission, I applied my own Powerful Networking techniques and introduced four of my dear colleagues and experts in their own fields to the Editors.

See…I’m getting somewhere in this overly excited post: I was a ‘connector’!

Now, I did *not* even secure my own position as the Networking Columnist yet, but this opportunity was too great to let well-deserving experts let it pass…even though they didn’t even know it existed.

I knew I had extremely well-versed, highly-prolific Women Entrepreneurs as colleagues, so I took a stab!

I asked the Editors’ permission to recommend other contributors, they shared areas where their was a void, and I shared key research pertinent in women entrepreneur research (showing my own authority in this target market), and connected Entrepreneur.com with:

• Lesley Spencer Pyle of HBWM.com as Home-Based Entrepreneur Columnist
• Deborah Cole-Micek of AdvancedBusinessBlogging as their New Media Columnist
• Marilyn August of MarilynAugust.com as their Money Wise Columnist
• Wendy Piersall of eMomsatHome.com as their Inspired Entrepreneur Blogger (Entrepreneur.com informed me that they were already in contact with my beloved soul-sistah…but, fortunately this connection showed we thought alike)

So, this is ALL exciting news for Power Networker Ponn and Her Power Networker pals…why would you *dislike yourself very strongly*!?!?

Because, I may be just one person away from making your dreams come true!

Or, better yet, there may be someone you already know that is the person to make your dreams come true! And, if you don’t start to apply my Powerful Networking techniques now…you may just be losing out big-time…personally AND professionally!

Little did I know, that Lesley had on her annual To-Do-List to secure a Columnist position in a major news outlet this year! WOW…I actually helped her reach her goals-unknowingly!

I did know…and always recommended to Wendy, she should start another niche blog to apply all her wise-gems of internet marketing and blogging to another target market…WOW! We both worked towards this goal together as colleagues!

I lost touch with Deb over the full-year of being offline…and I called Deb in the beautiful islands of Hawaii with this news to get us reacquainted. We’ve been partners in crime…for a number of other side-projects utilizing all her New Media techniques and we’re focusing strictly on Women Entrepreneurs…Like Dream Catchers or what!?

And, Marilyn and I reconnected online after losing touch over the year, we worked on a project that brought us both on opposing ends, but we left it amicably, and assured our professionalism will have our roads cross again, at the most opportune time…Wow, like one-month later! Now, we’re sharing pages at WomenEntrepreneur.com…boo yay girl!

I shared all these examples, because each relationship above, brought out more opportunities to the forefront, only because I chose to Power Network and share the most incredible professional opportunity afforded me (although not secured yet)…and gave of myself…to others and the goals of WomenEntrepreneur.com

I saw the vision, goals, and was a “connector’ to meet a certain end-point. I feel ultra-blessed that my power network and I gained so greatly from my initiative and good-timing.

There’s plenty to learn from the above examples alone. But, stay tuned to all the juicy details to unveil next month! Only 2 weeks away! I’m debuting with this totally new-thought-process…new way of thinking…new, fresh…Woman Entrepreneur’s view to networking. Entrepreneur.com loved it…and that was my big-test!

So, I’m quite sure you’ll love it too.

Well, since I just can’t have you waiting around for my surprise debut column…my co-contributors decided to thank me for my ‘introduction’ to the opportunity to debut on WomenEntrepreneur.com too…that they’ve all donated gifts for a contest to keep you busy until May 1st!

Details will be coming soon…(hey, one big contest/give-away a day is enough, right!?)
