Eric Shaw & January Jones Discover Championship Networking

I met a really entertaining fellow this past week at the meeting for The Book Publicists of Southern California hosted by everyone's favorite PR man, Irwin Zucker.  

Eric Shaw from New York Credit Incorporated spoke about networking and he really had some great ideas to share with all of us, embryo networkers.

First thing to remember, most men can do their networking in the men's bathroom while standing at the urinals.  

Second thing to remember, women have a problem networking there but I think that shoe stores might work the same way for women. 

Third thing to remember, God gave us two ears and one mouth so we'd better learn to do twice the listening instead of once more all the talking. 

Eric seemed to like my book since he is most definitely not a WHINER but rather a big time WINNER!

I like his positive approach to life and I'm challenging him to put his networking talents to work helping me with my Grandparent's Day internet promotion on amazon.com that will hopefully get my book a #1 ranking and to help out The Boys & Girls Clubs at the same time. 

Remember Stop Whining and Start Smiling and if that doesn't work for you, then you'd better start eating Chocolate, lots and lots of it.

Also you heard it here from January Jones, "Chocolate is the new Brocolli!"

STOP WHINING with Elliot Irving at WFLO at 10:15 am est T WFLO Richmond, VA Wednesday, August 12th

Tomorrow I'll be doing an interview with Elliot Irving at WFLO from Richmond, VA  10:15 am EST. We'll be talking about whining and "How to stop it!" 

The complaints, the causes and the cures will be explored and I'll even share some of my super secret 100% guaranteed cures. Listen in and you'll learn some new techniques plus get to visit with Elliot. He is so sweet that you'll feel like you've known him forever. 

As you can see, I'm back from the family reunion at Clearlake and it was terrific. There were about thirty of us all together and guess what? there was hardly any whining at all except for maybe at nap time. We had all six of our grandchildren with us which was so special for all of us. There was lots of jet skiing, boating and board surfing. MorMor even got wet. Now I want to buy a jet ski instead of a motorcycle. Reunions are better now that I'm The Savvy Granny and not The Mommy on 24/7 duty.

Clear Lake is definitely a NO Whine Zone. Ahsley, my beautiful, talented and amazing granddaughter, even found a small sign in Renee's Cafe that said, "Thou Shalt Not Whine." It seems everyone, even Renee, is on board for my Grandparent's Day internet campaign on Wednesday, September 3rd. 

Be sure to mark your calendar for that date and join me in helping The Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Also, let's see how far up we can get TSNW to place in the rankings at amazon and b&n.com. for that One Day 24 hr time period.

I am so proud to have Diane Heavin founder of Curves International's blurb on my front cover. I recently did an interview about her trip to The Great Wall of China with Olivia Newton John. It will air in September and every time I'm working out at my local Curves and slow down all I do is think of Diane and Becky walking The Great Mall of china with Joan Rivers and I'm inspired to stick with it. Wait till you hear all about their blisters and the menu and the tons of money they raised for fighting cancer!

Now back to the book:

50 Reasons Not to Have Kids by Joe Sidoni

I did a really fun and funny interview with my dear friend Joe Sidoni that I hope you will take the time to listen too. Especially if you need a laugh or want to be silly. The interview is on constant streaming 24/7 on www.bigmediausa.com or just click on to Big Media USA at my website www.januaryjones.com.

As you can see from his picture, Joe is a hoot plus he is quite aware of all the difficulties raising kids since he has been a single Dad for a long time. As you can guess, he loves doing stand up and no one ever tells him to sit down.

Here is what Joe had to say about my book:

"Thou Shalt Not Whine is a wonderful book! Even though january Jones is nicer than Dr. Laura and prettier than Dr. Phil, she still made me see another side in me. I had to admit that I too can be a Whiner! I had to laugh about her husband and all the pillows though, because I too can't understand all the pillows - especially the ones we're not allowed to use! I blame it all on HGTV! But here I go whining again!

Only now I catch myself...and smile. I think I'm gonna go out and buy another pillow for our bed!"    

Now you can see why, I adore this guy!
