Yes, 5am does exist!
When the alarm went of at 5am I thought to myself Mark what are you doing, this is total madness. Having got ready, checked the email, rounded up everything required for the long day ahead Kevin pulled up outside and we were off.
First call Tuddenham Mill for the ABC weekly breakfast meeting, where we did some training on how to find more building blocks for each other (referrals/testimonials/get2gethers). A fantastic meeting I have to say myself, we set targets for each other to all bring one new guest next week and to see what building blocks could be found.
Second call Chez Gerard’s for the ABC weekly networking coffee morning, where we normally get around 35 people turn up to network. NOT ANY MORE… 48 people came this week it was a massive turnout and the room was electric. So many new people, I wonder did those flyers work I dropped. I would also have to say on that note a huge THANK YOU to everyone who invited new people along; Simon Langley from http://www.langleysconservatories.co.uk/ invited both a builder and an electrician.
On from Chez Gerard’s to a meet the RBS bank manager, to talk about our plans and his membership. Then it was home to catch up on the emails and phone calls before heading out to four more meeting to see people from Printers, Herbalife distributors, business coach and finally at 10pm my last meeting was to see a friend who had arranged for me to meet with several friends of his to talk about the ABC.
11.55pm I closed the front door on the most amazing day I have ever had in all my time of business networking. Laying there reflecting on the day I thought, well I found referrals, got new members, people asking can they please attend next weeks meetings and a stack load more people to follow up on, those word ‘it’ll never work’ did not come in to my mind.

what is it you do, and how do you so effectively network? anything online? There are many helpful ways to network online, especially in a local network to get people to attend your meetings. (example:http://www.mycityfaces.com/?utm_source=city&utm_medium=media&utm_campaign=blogging allows you to post comments and bulletins, etc.)
