If you are not dedicated to growing your business or increasing your sales, please unsubscribe.
I continue to program a great number events designed to help you network, learn and build new relationships with potential clients. But there's alot of you still not showing up. What's up with that?
The DCC members that consistently show up are those you are prospering in their business! When you show up at events it gives other DCC members an opportunity to introduce you to people they know at the event and it also has the "top of the consiousness" effect. Which means that people will remember you when it comes time to refer others to you.
Do you know that we have free consulting at the DCC? Filiberto Medina, Mario Somarriba and several other DCC member, including myself, got together and created the PBCG, Power Business Consulting Group. This group is designed to give you free consulting and referal to other PBCG participants and DCC members in order to help you with what ever business issues you may have. It includes helping you with your start up business or existing business. And its all FREE !!!
Besides the PBCG I will dedicate time to you to discuss your business. If you want to meet with me send me an email requesting an appointment. I make myself available to all members. Another difference the DCC offers.
Now, if you really want to get ahead of the competition and explode your business growth then you've got to get up to date with Social Media and create a Social Media strategy. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Blogs and other Social Media can really help your business grow by helping you create relationships on the internet. The challenge is knowing how it all really works. That's where our Social Media and Web Site Strategies seminars come in.
The DCC is offering Social Media University and individual training modules related to internet marketing. These are low cost and offered at convenient times and locations in Doral and other areas. If you really want to grow your business, enroll in Social Media University at http://www.nmx2.com .
I have several areas where I need your help. At the same time that you help the DCC you can help your self. The DCC is over 200 members strong! By getting involved in one of many DCC groups you get to meet other active members in a more relaxed and friendly setting. These are some of the opportunities available for you.

How to Have Business Success in ‘09 - Stop Whining, Start Innovating!
Stop Whining, Start Innovating!
Yes, we are in a recession! So what? Have you seen “The Secret?” The Law of Attraction is real! The more you complain about the economy, the worst it will be for you and the rest of the world. Personally, I am tired of hearing people complain about how bad the economy is.
Speaking in economic terms, the reality is that it’s going to be worse in 2009. Speaking in “reality” terms, if you stop whining, stop reading doomsday economic news and watching CNN you will have much more time to create a better life for yourself, your business and your family in 2009.
So how do you make things better for yourself, your business, your family and the world? Take a new path – innovate! Create a new life! Examine the routines that you currently follow and change them. You are a creature of habit. You take the same route to your office everyday. You do the same thing in the morning and at night when you get home. At the office you go to lunch with the same people, at the same time. The best way to innovate is to examine your old habits and create new ones.
If you keep doing the same things you will continue getting the same results. The personal habits, or as I like to call them, your addictions, are linked to your social habits and to your business habits. To start new and innovate you must clear out the old.
Ever heard of the “vacuum law of prosperity?” It says that if you create a vacuum in your life the Universe will fill it for you with newer and better things. You can create a vacuum by giving away your old clothes, by breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend that you’ve been hanging onto for God knows what reason, or even by getting rid of real estate that you’ve been trying to save.
I hear too many people struggling with real estate that they purchased and now they can’t keep up with. Maybe it’s time to let go! Maybe it’s time to create that financial vacuum so that you can allow more prosperity to come your way! Go ahead! Clean out your life! Make room for a fresh relationship! Make room for new financial prosperity! Make room for God to come into your heart!
Live 2009 like there is no tomorrow! Make your life in ’09 a new life, a better life, a prosperous life!
God Bless You!
Manny Sarmiento – President
Doral Chamber of Commerce
P.S. For ’09 and beyond – Start a blog and learn about social networking for business! It’s not just for teenagers anymore!
