How anyone can succeed at networking. Do you really enjoy networking? We're all told we should network. But what if you find it hard to talk to people? What if you'd rather not go networking at all? Imagine you didn't fear networking... the rewards would be immense. You'd build better relationships, meet new clients, and bring in more new business. Charlie Lawson is an Unnatural Networker to the core. He shows you in this book how he went from being a complete non-networker to being confident to network anywhere, anytime, with anyone. As head of the UK & Ireland's biggest networking and referral organisation, BNI, he now trains thousands of business people how to do the same. The Unnatural Networker will help you to: have confidence to network; build a better business by developing an effective networking strategy; remove the fear, so you can actually enjoy networking; generate more business through networking.

Networking is a skill that many people recognize as critically important, but which many find difficult, boring or fear-inducing - or even all three. Yet if you master the techniques that really work, networking can pay dividends. Effective networking means tapping into a team of like-minded business people willing to help each other achieve their goals. If you build, grow and nurture your business networks, you will become known for your expertise and will be better placed to win the new client, business or job when it really matters. You can network successfully in person or online and The Complete Guide to Professional Networking shows you how to use both together for the most powerful results.The techniques and suggested strategies in this book are backed up by video interviews with some of the world's most successful networking experts.

Build Network Marketing Leaders Faster! Much Faster! Entire three-book leadership series by Tom "Big Al" Schreiter and Keith Schreiter Book #1: How To Build Network Marketing Leaders Volume One: Step-by-Step Creation of MLM Professionals shows us how to locate the best leader candidates and how to groom them for leadership. Learn exactly what to say and exactly what to do to change their attitudes, their thinking, and their results. Why? Because leaders are everything in network marketing. These are the long-term producers that leverage our income. We have limited time. We can only work with a limited number of distributors. So, we must duplicate ourselves through our leaders. Ask yourself, “Do you want to be a leader? Or, do you want more leaders on your network marketing team?” Everyone says they want to have more leaders, but how? How does one find leaders? How does one create leaders? What are the things we need to teach ordinary distributors to do in order to for them become leaders? This plan doesn’t happen by accident. Instead of wishing and hoping for leaders, this book will give you the step-by-step activities to create leaders. Yes, there is a plan for building leaders and it is simple to follow. Discover how to give ordinary distributors a leadership test to determine if they are ready to enter the path of leadership. Then, learn how to start their learning process with the biggest leadership lesson of all: problems. Book #2: How To Build Network Marketing Leaders Volume Two: Activities and Lessons for MLM Leaders takes our potential leaders and expands on what they can do to grow their teams faster. No one is a "natural-born leader." Babies aren't given a manual on how to be an adult. Adulthood is learned from others. So how will we teach eager distributors to become leaders? By showing, participating, experiencing ... and of course, sharing stories. Yes, they could imitate us to become leaders, but not everyone is created the same, with the same set of skills or advantages. So, there must be common lessons everyone can learn for leadership. Inside this book, you will find many ways to change people's viewpoints, to change their beliefs, and to reprogram their actions. And when these three things change, the results will naturally change too. The earnings from developing one good leader could dwarf the monthly payout of almost any retirement plan. Book #3: Motivation. Action. Results. How Network Marketing Leaders Move Their Teams adds another 172 pages of step-by-step actions and campaigns to make our leaders the best they can be. Getting results from the team is the measurement of true leadership. Want to motivate your network marketing team into action? We don't have to be a screaming drill instructor to get the job done. Through contests, recognition, goal-setting, fill-out forms, personal development and other motivational techniques, we can do our part to create momentum in our teams. Our new distributors need motivation to overcome the negativity of their initial prospects. Our experienced distributors need motivation when they run out of prospects to talk to. Learn the motivational values and triggers our team members have, and learn to use them wisely. By balancing internal motivation and external motivation methods, we can be more effective motivators. We can teach our team exactly what to do. However, we must motivate them to do it. Enjoy this book of case studies and examples of exactly how to be a motivating team leader. We can't do all the work ourselves. We need help. Put your team into momentum. Order The Complete Three-Volume Network Marketing Leadership Series now!

This is the fundamental truth about data protection: backup is dead. Or rather, backup and recovery, as a standalone topic, no longer has relevance in IT. As a standalone topic, it's been killed off by seemingly exponential growth in storage and data, by the cloud, and by virtualization. So what is data protection? This book takes a holistic, business-based approach to data protection. It explains how data protection is a mix of proactive and reactive planning, technology and activities that allow for data continuity. It shows how truly effective data protection comes from a holistic approach considering the entire data lifecycle and all required SLAs. Data protection is neither RAID nor is it continuous availability, replication, snapshots or backups--it is all of them, combined in a considered and measured approach to suit the criticality of the data and meet all the requirements of the business. The book also discusses how businesses seeking to creatively leverage their IT investments and to drive through cost optimization are increasingly looking at data protection as a mechanism to achieve those goals. In addition to being a type of insurance policy, data protection is becoming an enabler for new processes around data movement and data processing. This book arms readers with information critical for making decisions on how data can be protected against loss in the cloud, on-premises, or in a mix of the two. It explains the changing face of recovery in a highly virtualized data center and techniques for dealing with big data. Moreover, it presents a model for where data recovery processes can be integrated with IT governance and management in order to achieve the right focus on recoverability across the business.

FreeBSD runs many of the Web's most demanding applications. Yahoo! uses FreeBSD to deliver nearly 500 million page hits a day; even Microsoft's Hotmail has run for years on FreeBSD. Now, there's a single source of documentation for the thousands of technical professionals who've discovered FreeBSD and want to leverage its awesome power. The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide covers everything IT professionals need to know to deploy and manage FreeBSD in applications from the desktop to high availability enterprise servers. Start with an overview of how FreeBSD compares with Windows NT, and the roles a FreeBSD server might play in an enterprise network. Next, review server planning, hardware selection, and infrastructure preparation; then walk through the steps involved in a successful FreeBSD installation. Master every aspect of FreeBSD Internet connectivity and services -- including TCP/IP, DNS, security, Apache, email, and more. Learn the fundamentals of FreeBSD system administration; use FreeBSD systems as firewalls and routers; configure Samba to support Windows workstations; deliver efficient print services, and more. The book concludes with a "manifesto" explaining why companies should consider migrating all their business-critical applications to FreeBSD, whatever they're using now. An accompanying CD-ROM contains FreeBSD 4.1, the latest version.

The success of information backup systems does not rest on IT administrators alone. Rather, a well-designed backup system comes about only when several key factors coalesce-business involvement, IT acceptance, best practice designs, enterprise software, and reliable hardware.
