How to Find Affiliates through Networking
I first met Laura West in early August of 2014 while speaking at a large marketing event in Atlanta. The event was NAMS — Novice to Advanced Marketing Systems — and it was held twice a year between 2011 and 2016.
Laura was very quiet and I recognized her to be a fellow introvert. She is a coach and also a fine artist. When we met she told me she was going to create a drawing based on my keynote speech that evening. I was speechless, as no one had ever done anything like that for me. I thanked her and asked her what she needed from me. She said as long as she has the title of my talk she would take it from there. My talk was called “Don’t Over Think It: It’s Just Sunglasses” and based on a real life experience I had earlier in the year.
The drawing came out more beautiful than I could have imagined. After showing it off to as many of the four hundred participants as I possibly could I carefully rolled it up so I could bring it home with me on the plane. I still have it and consider it one of my most joyous treasures.
