Priorities are prior commitments. They are advance directives. They set the course for the future by eliminating the need to make decisions that have already been made.

The question of whether it is easier to set a priority or to keep one is a viable concern. In fact, it may vary from person to person. You may be someone who has to analyze the living daylights out of every issue that comes before you and still be indecisive. You will find it very hard to set a priority and quite a relief once you have done so.

You may, however, be a person who makes quick decisions by has a hard time sticking with them. You fly by the seat of your pants and are subject to emotional variations. You are going to struggle with priorities on the back end.

Whatever you personality or decision making style, success in networking is going to require the development of skills in the area of priorites.

This is an excellent topic for an entrepreneur's table.

I met with some friends the other day and we reaffirmed that it is in the area of principles that overlapping businesses in network maketing have the most in common. It is in these areas where cross-training is possible.

What I want to insert as a caution here is that I do not refer to cross-lining when advocating cross training. Cross lining happens when people in the same business model (or others) who are not in a networkers imediate line of sponsorship, discuss the specific details of that person's business with him or her and offer advice or instructions related to specific strategy.

Only a person's sponsors and their sponsors in networking have the particular information and vested interest in a networker to offer that kind of advice.

Cross training deals with principles; cross-lining is dangerous. We must maintian the distinction.

Previously published articles concerning this Entrepreneur's TABLE can be found at my main blog:

The Entrepreneur's Table

The Entrepreneur's Table - Part II - T = Timely Topics and Transferable Themes

The Entrepreneur's Table - Part III - A = Attitude

This journal is designed to expand upon the postings from www.pastortomsims.com which specialize in training for network marketers. There are principles and strategies that are transferable between businesses that employ the multi-level philosophy. These principles can be called a TABLE:

T=Timely Topics and Transferable Themes
A=Attitudes
B=Building Blocks
L=Lifestyle
E=Ethics

The last four are the legs of the table and the first is the flat surface.

Join us for the ride. There will be a discussion forum attached to this weblog.
