I've been preparing for (and am now away for) our 2011 Regional Meeting of the Americas here in Newport Beach. I'll be writing more on that soon, but while I'm otherwise engaged, I wanted to share with you an email that I got this morning from my friend and Rainmaking expert, Jaimie Field of Marketing Field. You can see her previous rainmaking recommendations here or you can sign up to receive them right in your email inbox on the first and third Wednesdays of the month. I highly recommend doing that - they're always excellent!
On to her recommendation!
Rainmaking Recommendation #46: The Reasons You aren’t becoming a Rainmaker
There are only two reasons why you aren’t becoming a Rainmaker.
1. You don’t know what to do
If this is the case there are many things you can do:
· Take a class,
· Read a book,
· Ask a mentor,
· Hire a Rainmaking Coach
And
2. You aren’t doing the things you need to do on a constant and consistent basis.
As with many of my clients, I suspect this is the main reason.
If this is the case there are things you can do:
- Create a plan and stick to it,
- Schedule your rainmaking activities and make them inviolable appointments
with and for yourself.
Rainmaking requires that you are constantly doing the things you need to do to create relationships

We have looked at a LOT of information about Twitter this week, and we'll finish out the week with our final post on the anatomy of the home page. 
So now we've got our profiles set, and we're building our followers. I'd like to talk about engagement as we did during the LinkedIn series, but first, I think it's important to understand the Twitter home page. Because Twitter does seem to have a strange language all of it's own, I want to make sure that it's all understandable as we move through the tutorials. One of the best recommendations I can give you though, is to play around with Twitter as much as possible - with all of the various social media platforms out there, I've found that diving in is one of the best ways to learn what Twitter is all about. 
Now that we've got our Twitter profile ready for it's debut, it's time to start following people. Yes, this sounds a bit stalker-ish, and it is, a little, because you're subscribing to whatever someone else wants to tweet.
