If you're in Austin, Texas you're probably working from home like me today rather than trying to slide your car around on the hills and bridges of Austin.

Today face-to-face meetings are impractical and all of the regular meetings that you would usually attend have been cancelled. Plus you probably have even more time available than usual since you didn't have to hassle with any type of commute.

Therefore and henceforth by the lack of power vested in me by some non-existent authority I decree today to be: Follow-up Day!

What a great time to pick up the phone and reach out to all of those people you've been meaning to follow-up with, but haven't had a chance. I'm even a little ashamed to admit that I have a number of them myself. (How else do you think I came up with such a great idea?)

If the people you'd like to follow-up with are also here in Austin or Dallas or Waco or you get the idea, then they're probably more reachable than they might ordinarily be.

Only have an office number and they're not in the office? Start with an e-mail and ask if there's a number that they can be reached at. I'm willing to bet you'll get a pretty quick reply in most cases.

Take advantage of this adversity to take your 2007 goals and networking to the next level. Make today your own Follow-up Day!

Happy Networking!
