Well, it has been years since I even opened this page. I did begin to venture forward into my start up at the end of Sept/2012. I had done a good bit of networking and atudying/learning too, how and why to do and use networking to start, and suatain one's business and to establish your own and collaborators, partners as authorities.
A key point, the key point about Networking is to be there, before each person with whom one interacts with wholly present and seeking to honestly help them to get what they need most from you...ideally by recommending another business, expert with whom youve established some rapport.
I believe in this, i e. not seeking to push, promote or directly sell my business in these interactions and other opportunities whereby like engagements occur. I found this much more to my liking and personality then essentially hiding my marketing and sure, hunger and ambitions to grow my business,,etc...This is because I AM a sincere person and no faker. As a clinician, I really did seek to serve each contact and client...and in caring for a person with chronic disabilites from complexies of illness versus health, pain and injury versus function safe from risk of reinjury or aggravation of symptoms means that on varying levels and degrees, dealing with each of my, (Patient-) Clients,, I was serving a number of other types of clients' needs and interests. The Patient Clients needs at the center of course, but their employer has needs, if I am to help my client to return to work safely in one or another capacities, the insurace companies have their particular needs from me in order for them to be able to ootimally be behind my work for my patient client...case workers,, vocational counselors, each staff who comes into contact with my patient client, psycologists/counselors, referring doctors and primary, doctors/other providers to whom I might see helpful for successful case outcomes. Yes! Even the attornies. Staying true to seeking the best MOST FUNCTIONAL and SAFEST, HEALTHIEST, SUSTAINABLE outcomes worked! And how.
I wished back then and still do, that I was still at instigating changed and improved means, interventions, attitudes and most progressive approaches for persons who had disabiling injuries, injuries and pain and towards the prevention and developing intervention and treatment models all to decrease the risk of such to ever occur in the first place. I was a force to be reckoned with in my own way, way ahead of or on the cutting edge to the best of my abilities and by my, "giftedness," for it.
Ive unfinished business here and in that past life. How ironic, that I am now chronically disabled, even severely so. Even more ironic is that it was one of the very diseases which with little available, useful or believable, valid info that I could find and keep abreast of back then.
Well,,I know a great deal more about Encephalomyelitis now, and it ain't " Fatigue Syndrome!" Shame on the and all others involved directly and indirectly for making up that misnomer AND for so long standing by it and the 30 to 40 years of misinformation...even when so so long ago proven to be otherwise! Shame too on every physician and care provider of any discipline for STILL NOT caring at least enough to know the basics about , that is not the name of this most, most unfortunate illness! Shame on very nearly so far as I can tell and project, all for not soundly studying and keeping up on ...particularly all those who have mistreated me, been abusive to me and denied me any reasonable degree of care or even attempts at differential diagnostic procedures and processes.
So okay that got off of the topic of Marketing. However, I still have my ambitions, plans to do great things based upon superb and excellent Marketing. I, myself, may not get well nor safe enough to physically execute my vision and Missions. I can and have done much however, devise and design A Better Way Enterprises of which MINP! Ideally will become an integral part of the larger picture. I can point, inspire, write for others to make fantastic things happen still. Not the least of which will be an exciting social and nonprofit entity that will do so much for persons with as we, the current conditons are for those of us with , our too few clinicians/researchers and centers and for the world status or rather lack thereof of this illness as a Disease.
I have the design and vision. More to come...until Ive done all or have died.
