Mark E. Sackett's Reel

You often hear me talk about struggle and relationship here at “The Art of Active Networking”. I hear some of you also talk about how important it is, but I rarely see most folks step up and make the real effort to refer each other and to build those deep and sustainable relationships. It’s almost as if they see is as a “Have to” situation vs. a “Get to” way of business. Much like Networking, I know folks who attend 3 or 4 ’Networking’ events per week, I also know that they...

We’re expecting Big Rain apparently in the Bay Area this weekend, so according to the Weather Peeps, it’s the end of the world. But we’ll give em a break, after all, they never have anything to talk about the other 324 days of the year. But more important than that, what can we all do for you to collectively help you to do better, to get both what you need and what you want, and to encourage you to practice #MYGIVE4? I’d prefer life and career pour down on you with abundance, great...

YOU STRUGGLE, I STRUGGLE, WE ALL STRUGGLE…BUT! BUT…We can stop it if we make the shift to giving by practicing #MYGIVE4! This different way of networking cal...

'The Art of Active Networking' is growing worldwide. We need venues, we need you and we need more people to join this concept of networking through giving. MyGive4 will help you to help others. I understand that we mostly network so that we can sell more of our stuff to others, but if you really want to do business with others and make that sustainable, you will practice helping others before helping yourself. Come to any of our events and we’ll show you how. If you want us to come to your...

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL! I've always loved this quote and posted it before. Each New Year I reread it to see if my perspective has changed. This year it has. “I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones,...

I HOPE YOU CAN MOVE FORWARD INTO 2017 WITH RESPECT, LOVE AND GIVING! Well Hi, Time to take a deep breath and think about what you want for 2017. You know I gotta say the last 20 months for me have been comprised of sorrow, crap, disgust, longing, depression, creativity, thoughtfulness, ideation, sadness, loss, frustration, joy, laughter, pain, health, perceived wealth, happiness, fun and confusion! I’m sure if I asked you to list a few words we’d have some similarities. Truth is we all...

I MADE THIS VIDEO BECAUSE WE ARE TEARING EACH OTHER APART AND IT NEEDS TO STOP! I know it’s always great to get all warm and fuzzy during the holiday’s and to be full of love, light, giving and sharing, but I think that is possible to do it every day of the year. That’s what “The Art of Active Networking” is and has always been about. #MyGive4 is also about sharing with you 4 ways you can give to others each and every day! You hear me speak at our events about how much we struggle....
