The treasure you seek might be right there in your own backyard

In The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy found out that:
“If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again—I won’t look any further than my own backyard. Because if it isn’t there, I never really lost it to begin with.”


If your pursuing a worthy goal or trying to make a significant change in your life, don’t go external in your approach, go internal. Most people make the Big Mistake of looking outside their Who Network thinking their success will be found “out there” somewhere. It’s a false notion that your success will come from a bunch of people you don’t know.

**Tip
Look around the landscape of your life. There are valuable treasures there you’ve been overlooking. Too often we allow the temporary to eclipse the eternal. The true and lasting treasures of life are those key relationships that have been given to us as gifts. Sit down and make a list of your 12-3-1. Your 12 friends, your 3 closest and that One Best Friend.

You Got WHO!

The Natural

People are too concerned about making mistakes, and this fear of failure causes them to become stuck. In other words, they don’t even try anymore. Remember, “Failure is an event, not a person” As my Plano Texas neighbor Zig Ziglar says. “It’s just an experience where we didn’t like the result.” What I’ve discovered in the executive search business is that failure is overrated. If viewed correctly, it just provides real-life instruction/training and another chance to experience success.



We have two lives, a life we learn with and a life we live with after...

TAKE ACTION -Seek Help From Friends

Investors Business Daily

BYLINE: Gloria Lau

SECTION: Leaders & Success;
IBD 10 SECRETS TO SUCCESS;

Say you were in the hospital recovering from minor surgery and wanted to get home. Most likely you'd call family or friends. Now suppose you lost your job. Would you call the same friends? Some folks do, but many opt for faceless sites such as Monster.com or start networking with recruiters and other strangers.

"Take everything you've ever known about networking and throw it out," Bob Beaudine, an entertainment executive recruiter, told IBD. "Talking to people you don't know, handing out business cards like mints -- that doesn't work."

He urges people in need of jobs or anything else to go to their friends.

"You've developed networks of friendships over the years," Beaudine said. "You've got to go back to that. Acquaintances just wish you well. But friends will help you.

Beaudine, who recently wrote "The Power of Who," and Jerry Colangelo, chairman of the Phoenix Suns and the U.S. men's gold medal basketball team, share tips.

** Turn to the familiar. Beaudine says make a list of 12 friends, including three close buddies and one best friend.

It doesn't matter if they don't work in your industry. They care about you and might be able to introduce you to their friends in your business. Each of your 12 pals has 12 friends. Either their friends will hire you, or their friends' friends will.

Colangelo told IBD: "This applies no matter where you are on the totem poll. . . .Whatever your lot in life, there are people around you, whom you may not even recognize as important, who could be helpful, constructive. But you have to take the initial step."

** Don't be vague. "Tell your friends specifically what you want from them. If they don't know what you want, they can't help you," Beaudine said. "Don't be afraid to ask, and don't let pride hold you back."

** Use references. Endorsements help. Suppose you're applying for a job. First, ask your pals if they happen to know the hiring manager. If one does, have him say nice things about you. It'll give you an edge.

When Beaudine was picking agents for his book, he didn't know any. But he'd heard of a great agent named Jan Miller. So he e-mailed friends. Within minutes, five responded that they knew her. One volunteered to arrange a 20-minute meeting. Miller didn't know Beaudine, but she knew that their mutual friend respected him. Two hours later, she signed Beaudine.

** Look for connections. Before interviewing, find out where the hiring manager went to college, what groups he belongs to, what his interests are. Once in the office, look for ski pictures, sports team paraphernalia or photos of children. "Try to connect," Beaudine said. "People hire those they like. If you're interested in the same things, bring it up. But be authentic. All tips around manipulating your way into a job -- it's all crap."

** Give first. If you want your dreams to come true, start by helping others. "The law of reciprocity always works," Beaudine said.

A neighbor, a colleague or a friend is always watching what you're doing. So if you do good, someone will likely help you in return.

Sheri Sharman went from being a broke single mom who taught pre-school to becoming one of the most successful women in Network Marketing history. As a pre-school teacher, Sheri quickly learned that she had a passion for teaching and helping others. She incorporated this passion into her Network Marketing career and has since coached tens-of-thousands of people on personal development, image, building confidence, finding joy, earning more money, and creating one's desired lifestyle. Sheri has been a top income earner in every company she has participated in. She has broken numerous sales records for both personal and team production, and she earned multi-millionaire status early in her career. In 2009, she will celebrate twenty two years of success as a network marketing professional. She is an expert at building sales teams.

The Power of “Who”.There is a book with that exact title, The Power of WHO written by Bob Beaudine. In this book Mr. Beaudine talks about the importance of friendships and how vital they are to our dreams and success. I totally agree with him that true friendships are based on love, loyalty and mutual respect with no strings attached. I thought it was very interesting that if you have 100 friends and I have 100 friends…most would think that between the two of us we would have 200 friends. But that is the wrong answer, it would be 10,000! It’s exponential. In this book he explains how each of the people in our circle of friends has great influence with their circle of friends. He explains that our friends are pre-wired with a strong desire to help us.For those of you that have attended any of our current trainings with MVP University or any that Buck Reed and I have taught throughout the years you will feel like you are hearing something very familiar. We have referred to it as “digging” and working with your warm market. In today’s economy it is so important to reconnect to people and to reach out to others by using today’s online tools to speed up your relationship building.I myself have become more familiar with LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter as well as blogging just to name a few ways to stay connected and to build on your relationships and establish new ones with social networks.

To Your Success,

Featured on the Today Show, The Power of WHO is a LIFE CHANGING Resource!

After 25 years as one on the world's leading executive recruiters in sports and entertainment, Bob Beaudine, CEO of Eastman & Beaudine offers practical and proven advice, through a common sense approach to attaining your Goals and Dreams.

Bob Beaudine believes Networking is Not working for Americans any longer. This highly respected and well-connected head hunter shares his philosophy on what really works in identifying what your dream in life is and how to get it. With his unique 100/40 principle, Beaudine takes the traditional networking concept, shakes it up and rebuilds it, explaining that individuals already know everyone they need to know. He shows readers that they have established a powerful network simply by interacting with people in their daily lives. Beaudine explains this new way to achieve dreams clearly, in a step-by step fashion using his well-tested knowledge to break it down and help readers tap into the Power of Who.

Testimonials:“Bob Beaudine had me hooked by chapter two! He articulates what we instinctively know: people matter most. God teaches this. Our heart teaches this. But we forget. You are holding a timely reminder. I’m going to read it again.”- Max Lucado, New York Times bestselling author of inspirational Christian books“Bob Beaudine challenges you to think differently. His unique approach to life and business has helped elevate many careers.”- Roger Goodell, Commissioner of the NFL

“The Power of WHO provides great lessons about how to succeed in business and in life. If you surround yourself with quality people and great friends, the sky’s the limit.”- Wayne Gretzky, Owner, Managing Partner and Head Coach, Phoenix Coyotes“The Power of WHO is the biggest, simplest idea that has ever hit the scene for effectively building, growing and sustaining relationships!”- Todd Duncan, New York Times bestselling author-motivational speaker-sales trainer

Bob Beaudine speaks out on:
On setting the right priorities in the first place:

"Many of us are working way too hard in jobs we don’t like while pursuing relationships that are actually bad for us and in some cases even living in places we don’t enjoy. If you allow yourself to be fooled into pursuing just position, power, and money, you will miss out on the true treasures of peace, happiness, and a deep-down contentment."
On changing the trajectory of our lives:

"One of the big lies many of us tell ourselves is that our current position in life disqualifies us from achieving our dreams and goals. Some of the common phrases I’ve heard are “It’s too late for me. I’m too old,” or “I’m too young,” or “I’m too…whatever.” Is that true? No! It’s absolutely not true. You’re never too early or late in life to begin walking on the pathway of your dream. One thing is absolutely certain: the future is on the way. Ready or not, here it comes."
On investing in your "Who":

"Do you know your ‘Who?' I've developed a database of over 5,365 people that can say "Hi, Bob." That really doesn’t mean a lot except that I know a lot of people because of my business. I had what I thought was a great networking strategy, but I discovered I was dead wrong. One day I stopped and studied who had actually given me business or touched my life in some significant way over the last ten years. I was shocked to learn that there were only 87! Eighty-seven out of 5,365! I enjoy meeting people, but I should have been spending more time investing in the 87 who were actually impacting my life in significant ways."

On getting what we really want:

"Most people never get what they want for three simple reasons. They don’t ask. No one can help if they don’t know what you want. When they do ask, they ask the wrong people. For some reason, people are uncomfortable asking their m>'Who' for help. As a result, they’ll ask most anyone except their friends, who are the only ones with a motive to help. When they do ask for help, they ask too vaguely. Even if I’m motivated to help a friend, I can’t do it when I don’t know what he or she wants."

The Power of Who in Cox Today Magazine

SPRING 2009--COX TODAY MAGAZINE Alumni Profile Bob Beaudine

SMU Cox Alumnus and Executive Recruiter Transforms the Job Search with “The Power of WHO”In today’s troubled economy, many job seekers are getting creative in their job search. But according to Robert E. “Bob” Beaudine (BBA ’77), you already know everyone you need to know, and with that, you can build a professional community that will alter the trajectory of your life. Beaudine, CEO of Eastman & Beaudine, is one of the world’s leading executive recruiters in sports, entertainment and business, and has been called “The most influential man in sports you have never heard of” by Sports Illustrated. He maintains close ties with SMU and the Cox School of Business. In fact, Beaudine is responsible for the recent hire of football coach June Jones, Steve Orsini, SMU’s director of athletics and Matt Doherty, men’s basketball coach. He is also a long-time member of the Cox Associate Board. His new book, “The Power of WHO” was released in January and turns conventional wisdom about networking on its head, based on two decades of experience in the industry. Beaudine offers job seekers – those in search of a new career, a better job and a richer life – irresistibly practical solutions that work in good times and bad. The “WHO” Beaudine frequently refers to is your circle of friends, family and supporters. “It’s a call to you that says, ‘There’s a different world. We’ve been lied to, we’ve been misled, and we need to draw a line in the sand. Here’s the dream job from now on. This is what you should do,’” he said. Beaudine says position, power and money are the wrong motivators for happiness and contentment. Instead, do a job you love with people you love in a place you love. He tells job seekers the first step towards finding that dream job is to “get out of the box and into the circle of WHO.” “Networking is disingenuous and implies something that it’s not. It implies friendship when it means mere acquaintances,” he said. “So I really tell people that they’ve got to take everything that they’ve ever heard about networking and throw it out.” “The first and foremost step is to realize that you’re not alone. You have a community of friends we have each developed individually over many years through love and unconditional giving who want to help you. Don’t base a job search around acquaintances. Make a list of your “Inner Circle 12-3-1” – 12 friends, 3 close friends and 1 best friend. Once you have come up with your 12-3-1 list, list your top 1-100 friends. These are people who came in or out of your life for a variety of reasons –high school or college, church, clubs, your first job, through your mom or your extended family. It can be your pharmacist, your coaches, your teachers and your mentors. The next step is to develop a list of your dreams, goals and aspirations. This is the second piece of what Beaudine calls the “100/40 Strategy.” It is the “Top 40 List” of what you want to do and accomplish in life. Then, tap into your “WHO” list of 100 and your inner circle to help make personal connections within your “Top 40 List” that will help you get in the door.” One great resource Cox students and alumni can take advantage of is the Associate Board executive mentor program. This is one of the most differentiating factors of the Cox School, said Beaudine, who has been involved with the Board for many years. This program allows students to capitalize on the school’s close ties with some of Dallas’ leading companies and most influential business leaders. “We have amazing people on this board. These are the sharpest, brightest minds I consider to be in America,” said Beaudine. These people have contacts that can introduce them to any category in any area, just like any executive recruiter. These people have WHO!” Beaudine offers the following tips to job seekers:-Remember your friends and family (your “WHO”) and nurture those relationships.

-Stop the traditional way of doing things: cold calls, blind e-mails, letters to “Dear Sir or Madame.”

-Know you are not alone. Don’t be afraid to ask your WHO for help.

-Make a 12-3-1 list and develop your 100/40 strategy.

-Find what you are amazing at doing. If you don’t know, ask your friends.

-Don’t be vague. Develop a clear and specific game plan of where you would liketo work, and with whom.

-Reconnect with old friends and acquaintances. The Cox Alumni Association, Linked In and Facebook are great places to start.

The Power of WHO! FEATURED IN SPORTS TRAVEL MAGAZINE

Since 1997, SportsTravel Magazine has served the sports-related travel and event industry. It is the only publication written and designed to serve the people who organize and manage sporting events of all types at all levels.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

You’ve Got Who! Perhaps you’ve gotten the phone call yourself recently. Someone you know has lost his or her job and is calling to ask if you know of anyone who’s hiring or if they can use you as a reference. With the current state of the economy and the massive layoffs that have resulted, that type of scenario has become all too commonplace. According to Bob Beaudine’s new book, “The Power of WHO,” the first place to start with a job hunt of any other of your life’s goals is with those people you know the best.Beaudine owns one of the nation’s preeminent executive search firms specializing in the sports and entertainment industries, Eastman & Beaudine, and served as a presenter at TEAMS 2007 in Louisville. As an executive recruiter, he hears from thousands of people every year who are unhappy in their jobs or are looking for work. In “The Power of WHO,” Beaudine says that too often people focus on the “what” (what they want) at the expense of the “who” (the friends or friends of friends who can help them accomplish their goals). Beaudine suggests that the first step for anyone looking to change careers or pursue other major goals should be t make a list not of everyone you know but a dozen of your best friends. From that list, select your three closest friends and your one best friend. These 12 make up your inner circle. But having an inner circle and constructing a list of your 12 closest friends will itself not lead to your dream job or the attainment of your goals if those people are not aware of what it is you’re pursing.

Beaudine writes that most people never get what they want for three reasons:

1. They don’t ask. No one can help if they don’t know what you want.

2. When they do ask, they ask the wrong people. For some reason, people are uncomfortable asking their “who” for help. As a result, they’ll ask almost anyone except their friends, who are the only ones with a motive to help.

3. When they do ask for help, they ask too vaguely. Even if I’m motivated to help a friend, I can’t do it when I don’t know what he or she wants.

In “The Power of WHO,” Beaudine also suggests the use of what he calls the “100-40 Strategy” In this case, you should make a longer list of your friends (100 maximum) and a list of 40 things you want to accomplish (or if you’re hunting for a job, 40 places you would love to work). As Beaudine notes, the exact numbers are less important than the concept of putting your goals in writing so that your wider circle of friends can help you attain them. With each of your 100 friends becoming your proponent in their own circle of friends, you will now have the potential to connect with up to 10,000 people who can help you achieve your dreams.Beaudine also points out the importance of reaching out and reconnecting with your “community of friends.” But he is quick to note that for “The Power of WHO” to work, you must offer assistance at least as often as you ask for it. Not only will his approach produce results for your business or career, Beaudine says, “More importantly, you will grow closer to the people who should matter the most to you—your friends.” For more information or to order “The Power of WHO,” please visit the Media Zone at www.SportsTravelMagazine.com . As Beaudine notes, staying in touch with your network of friends is critical to achieving the success you’re hoping for. One way to do that is through industry conferences, such as the TEAMS Conference & Expo. For sports-industry veterans, TEAMS 2009, October 13-17 in New Orleans, is an opportunity to reconnect and revitalize your existing relationships. For sports-industry newcomers, it’s the perfect place to add your community of friends. For more information, see the ad on page 25, visit www.TEAMSconference.com or call us toll-free at (877) 577-3700.

What’s Holding You Back? You Already Know Everyone You Need to Know!

We need the key relationships we've been given to get us moving toward our Dreams & Goals!

By Bob Beaudine CEO and Owner of Eastman-Beaudine and Author of The Power of Who

"Fear Factor in the Workplace." The New York Times editors recently stated this when they reported that the economy lost 524,000 jobs in December, raising unemployment to 7.2 percent. Now more than 10 million Americans are unemployed. These anxieties are transforming the workplace. We need a new plan because it's way too depressing and frustrating to have dreams, goals, and a vision for where you want to go but no way to get there--or even an inkling of how to get started.
One of the most important "Job Advice Tip's" you need to know Right NOW is that "You Already Know Everyone You Need To Know" to get that job you desperately need. Before you balk at the simplicity of that statement, let it sink in a bit. I'm telling you it’s true! Most of us haven't taken advantage of all that's available. We're going through life with the misconception that our Job Search can be accomplished without any help from others. Pity the person who thinks they don't need coaches, teachers, mentors, parents, or friends to help advise them.

• The fact is: You and I need the special relationships we've been given not only to get that unique job we’re seeking but also to thrive in this impossible world. Don't attempt to live life on your own. Get off the "Lone Ranger" treadmill. Running harder and faster all alone is clearly not a good strategy.
• What if each of us had been given key relationships in our lives that have been specifically placed there to help us in ways we never imagined? And what if those special people were not just happenstance acquaintances but were, instead, strategic relationships meant to be actively involved in helping us find that place in life we always dreamed about? Could it be that we've missed the simplicity behind this mysterious thing called destiny? What if the real problem of finding your dream or achieving that goal isn't about who you don't know, but whom you've neglected?
• One of the greatest mistakes in business today is that most people never reach out for help, never lean on their "Who" in times of need. “Who” friends undergird you with a power you don't have on your own. They'll ask their "Who" to help you get where you want to go. They'll open doors for you that you couldn't open alone and get you connected—that’s the strength you gain with The Power of WHO!
  

What’s holding you back from reaching out to your “Who” -- the people that can truly help you? Do you know who these people truly are? Start with your circle of greatest influence--your 12-3-1. Your 12 friends, 3 closest and 1 best friend. Reach-Out to them this week and set a time to get together and Re-Connect. Let me know how it goes. When you do life with friends--everything gets better! Let me hear your thoughts on why you cannot connect with your Who by posting your comments at my blog at http://powerofwho.blogspot.com/. Give me your questions so that I can show you some answers.

“Anything Hidden Will Be Exposed”

Having a “Personal Board of Directors” is an absolutely Vital Strategy for Success in life.


By Bob Beaudine CEO and Owner of Eastman-Beaudine and Author of The Power of Who

When I mention the names Plaxico Burress or Michael Vick what comes to your mind? How about when I say: Rod Blagojevich, Eliot Spitzer, or Bernard Madoff. These are smart and talented people—but what were they thinking…? We’ve all seen the mistakes of many high-profile people that result in embarrassment and public humiliation.
I have come to believe one of the very best strategies you can implement to achieve maximum protection is to create your own “Personal Board of Directors.” It has been very revealing to me over my 20 plus years as an executive recruiter that in interview after interview the significant and differentiating factor of one candidate over the other was the-- quality of their “personal board” (or lack of them). These important advisers are the ones who helped design, guide, and encourage the successful candidates to believe in themselves, press the outer limits, shoot for the stars, and discover their dreams. But they also held them accountable to be transparent in business and above reproach in their personal lives.
So, who makes your list, and how many members do you pick to be on your board? There are seven categories I review in depth in my new book The Power of WHO. For a step by step plan of how you can build your “Personal Board of Directors” go to http://www.powerofwho.com/ to find out more about your Board as well as learning about other life-changing resources my book is available now.
Having a “Personal Board of Directors” is an absolutely vital strategy for success in life. It is just a little alarming to know that you and I are just as vulnerable without our “Personal Board of Directors…

The Power of Who with Kurt Schemers

Do What You Love

By Bob Beaudine CEO and Owner of Eastman-Beaudine and Author of The Power of Who


"THIS CAN BE SO LIFE CHANGING YOU SHOULD READ IT TWICE!"
All across the nation, we have heard cries for "Change!" Leadership change, economic change, social change, you name it–we want to change it! But interestingly, the process and strategy we are currently using to find jobs -- needs changing! We need to take everything we have ever heard or learned about "Networking" and just throw it out. That is right. Throw it out…as in jettison, dump, expel, and cast out, in other words… Fuh-ged-aboud-it! I can make such a radical statement because, based on my 20 plus years in the executive recruiting business as the CEO of Eastman and Beaudine.

I can unequivocally tell you that: "Networking" as we know it is crap! It does not work!

This year do something better for yourself:

· Forget traditional networking
· Friends get you jobs you want
· Go where your celebrated not just tolerated
· Find jobs that ignite your passion
· What you love is a major clue

Doing what you Love is one of the most essential components of finding your dream. One of the great disconnects of life, a truly monumental error people commonly make is not allowing love to direct their course. You may be surprised to discover you already know someone who can open a door for you -- someone who likes you enough to act as a bridge for you.

Remember, Reach-out and Re-Connect.

Use the authentic circle of people that care about you -they will truly want to help you. This is your "Power of WHO”. And with CHANGE, comes HOPE.
