Forbidden Dance

THE ART OF REFERRALS

   I'm part of several networking groups so I meet the small business people (the heart of the US economy) all the time. You'll know them by the way they carry themselves. These entrepreneurs dress business casual, are early risers, interesting to talk to, idealistic, always present in networking functions, they carry a stack of business cards, and are very hard working.

   Before I started my own business I was content doing production work in the back room. Thanks to my business partners, It took me several months to be comfortable speaking in front of a crowd and learning about other people's business so I could reffer their services to others. I'm proud to say I'm a heck of a good networker today. Someone even called me a Super Influencer or Networker because I give out a lot of referrals. This week alone I gave out 4 referrals and I got a few back as well. It's really not that difficult. You just need to have a mental warehouse of people and you just match them with a need that comes up. Let's help each other. If everyone would do this, our local economy would be so much better.

    On another matter, I guess I'm gonna go to the La Habra Art Gallery this Saturday evening. They have an Open Mic (ie. Amateur Singing Night) 2 Saturdays in a month. Well, a few weekends ago, out of a whim, I brought my sketchbook and decided to make caricatures of the performers on stage. One by one they taped the sketches on the wall. By the end of the evening I had several sketches on display. I have to admit, I was pleasantly embarrassed. I guess the crowd really enjoyed it because they were asking about me the next session. So I'll be bringing my art stuff and doodling away again. As before, I'm donating any proceeds to the gallery. They need the funds. Hope you can come. Bring your guitar and other musical instruments. I think they frown at "canned" music.

Hi Raoul,

Your blog below reminded me of the caricatures (posters) you made for our Filipino School some 30 years ago. I salvaged them when the school closed and kept them in my basement. I thought then that someday this artist will be an accomplished and famous artist. I think the day has come.

I included the background in the last picture to show you size of these posters.

Do you remember these?

Your avid fan,

Pete

Thank you for the jokes and the videos.
I laughed at Super dog and cried at the text and drive video.

You add to my life. Thanks.

Anne
