What a month!
It's been a rough year so far -- with the economy continuing to fall, more foreclosures on the horizon and layoffs still coming fast and furious. My apologies -- I've not been as active over the past few months...my 9 year old broke her leg quite badly and I've been very busy helping her rehabilitate. She's doing great, I'm back, and looking to hear from you on what has been going on with your lives, job searches, financial fiascos and recoveries!!
This month I turned 50 -- after many years of blogging about 50 plussers, I'm am now one of US! But what a month. Michael Jackson, Farah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, Karl Maldon -- icons from MY adolescence.
How are you doing?

Successful career switch
Many 50 plussers are heading back to school to brush up skills or get into a new career (like teaching.) I'd like to hear from those of you who have made a successful switch to a new career or about someone you know who made a successful switch.
Rambling is for Weeds
"Rambling is for Weeds" is the topic of conversation on a BlitzTime call I want to invite you to join me on.
In this Blitz "event", you'll get tips on following up that will bring in 80% MORE sales! This twice monthly event is dedicated to straight shooters who mean and want more business. You'll also have several short 1-on-1 phone conversations with other participants to introduce your business and find out about theirs. It's a great way to connect with quality people from a variety of businesses and services. I've been networking on BlitzTime for only a couple of months and have been more successful than I have in 30 years of networking by other methods.
Do you already love networking, or wish you did, but...
- It makes you feel anxious and drained?
- You do not know what to specifically say or ask?
- You are not meeting the right people?
- You are not finding the right events?
- You have limited time?
If any of the above describes your current networking experience (whether in-person and/or online social networking), then you'll have everything to gain by participating in this BlitzTime call!
Click on my personal profile to visit BlitzTime and register for this event. You may see others that interest you as well. Participate in one call and you'll be hooked!

Experience vs Education
I've heard of college in recent years that will give you credit for some courses, without actually taking them, based on your life experiences. My older son and I went to a job fair yesterday, and most of them are wanting people that have degrees in this or that field. I'm wondering: are there companies out there that will accept a trade-off of some education for life/work experience? If so, who and where are they?
BlitzTime
I've spoken to a few of you about BlitzTime, but wanted to make sure I share it with everyone because it's the most productive form of networking I've ever done.
BlitzTime is unique because you have one-on-one phone conversations with up to 9 different people during a BlitzTime event. (When you go to my profile, you'll see a list of names of 61 people I've had a conversation with on BlitzTime in just over a month.) If you click on the EVENTS link just above my picture, you'll see a calendar of events for different topics of conversation. Register for any that interest you, and be sure to fill out your profile. At the designated time, log on to the BlitzTime website and call the number listed at the top of the page. The narrator will speak briefly before matching you with someone for a 4-6 minute conversation. As you're speaking, you'll see the profile of the person you're speaking with. This not only gives the conversation a personal touch, but you know the business the person you're speaking with is involved in so you'll have an idea of where to take the conversation. That's why it's important to have your profile filled out.
I've gotten more out of BlitzTime in one month than I have in 30 years using other network marketing methods. The people I've met are all professional and helpful. I've gotten a lot of referrals for my business and have had the pleasure of referring a lot of people I've met on the calls. I think they've got a real winner here, and I like to be associated with winners! Here's my profile...
