Tips For Business Networking From Chief NetWeaver Bob Littell. Business Coach Kris Cavanaugh Explains How to Be The CEO of Your Life

Today we learned all about business networking from Chief NetWeaver Bob Littell. Bob shared some tips about business networking from his NetWeaving Ambassador Program which is soon to be available in colleges around Atlanta and the rest of the country. The first thing he explained was the difference between business networking and NetWeaving. Bob is a busy guy who wants to share his message about the power of relationship building and how having a “Pay it Forward” mentality can help you grow your business.

He told wonderful NetWeaving success stories – especially a great recent story about how he was able to encourage Hallmark Recordable Children’s Books help out thousands of children here in the Atlanta area by donating Frosty the Snowman books to close to 8000 kids this holiday season.  Be sure to go to Bob’s website and take his NetWeaver Quiz to see how good you are at relationship building in your business. Also be sure to get on his email mailing list if you are interested in joining His You Don’t Have To Read The Book Book Club.

We closed the show with business coach, author and speaker Kris Cavanaugh. Kris helps you get unstuck and become the CEO of your life. She is speaking at Rico Pena’s Stay in the Game Summit on January 14.

Business Planning Tips From CPAs Bruce Paulk and Gary Clayton. Plus Short Sale Tips from Closing Attorney Matt Dickason and Renovation Loan Banking Specialist Brian Stephens

Today we opened the show with a couple of  Atlanta’s top Certified Public Accountants Bruce Paulk and Gary Clayton with Clayton Paulk and Associates CPA firm.  They shared a ton of business planning tips that they use to help their clients prepare for life’s uncertainties. They talked about how they work with their business owner clients to create a checklist that helps them with their succession planning, risk mitigation, disaster planning and other important stuff that most business owners don’t spend enough time thinking about. If you are looking for a business CPA firm that does more than your taxes you should really check these guys out.

Next up we had an in depth conversation about short sales and the foreclosure process with Closing Attorney Matt Dickason with Dickason Law Group and Renovation Loan Specialist Brian Stephens with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. Many Atlanta short sale sellers have homes that have not been maintained and they do not have the funding necessary to bring the homes up to good condition. Renovation loans allow the buyer to buy a short sale “as is” and then have funds added to their purchase mortgage to have the home renovated after closing
