Great gift for the "networkers" in your life!
Or for those who you think might benefit from
networking for success in any area of life!
Andrea Nierenberg's "Nonstop Networking: How to
improve your life, luck, and career" has been getting
rave reviews. An FC reader got ahold of it and said
it "inspired" her; yours truly has been re-evaluating the
connections she's already made to see what more I can
contribute to my network. You can sail through this
book over a weekend, then refer to it daily for ideas
and motivation.
Andrea is a great friend of ours whose motivation to
help others just shines through everything she does!
Special offers for FC readers:
Share your favorite networking strategy and we'll enter
your name into a drawing for Andrea's book. We'll get
2003 off to a "fruitful" start by publishing your ideas in
the January Fruit Connection!
OR be one of the first 3 readers to place your holiday
orders and we'll send you your own copy of Nonstop
Networking!
