Thanks so much for connecting with me. This is not SPAM or an autoreply…I am choosing to send this to you since you requested to be connected. I connect with literally a thousand new people a month through my companies or my events around this big beautiful world and guess what? 10-20 percent follow-up, click through. or care enough to make a difference in the world. This email helps me to know who is serious and who is blindly connecting to sell something. So, you have 1,440 minutes today and a choice to make, are you willing to take 5 of them to read about me so we can help each other and others here do better? Most won’t, and this is the first mistake most of us make when we meet someone, we add the connection and we move on, we don’t cross connect and we don’t try to help one and other. So if you feel the need to blindly connect and then delete this email and stop reading this, then it's our mutual loss. It’s time we ALL step up to help each other do better, and that’s my goal with everyone I meet. So there are two critical things you must understand about me, I have more fun on this planet than most people, and I love meeting and connecting people more than anything in life! First is a bit about me. I’m an award-winning Personal Branding Consultant, Creative Director, Graphic Designer, Film and Music Director/Producer and Event Producer. I help individuals and corporations worldwide build their personal and corporate brands in order to bring positive change to this world in some way through my 13 companies, and I friggin’ love it! I work as an hourly consultant on projects or on really big picture strategy, and I own Reflectur a strategic Branding/Advertising and Creative Marketing firm with a very strong ethical standard. Take a peek: Website: http://www.Reflectur.com/ As Public Speaker/Trainer, I am all about connecting and helping people to succeed and collaborate better no matter what they do, I call it “Brainfood Creative Programs” and “Left of Center Thinking”. I help individuals and teams finally live that passionate creative life we all deserve. I am available to speak or train you, groups and corporations anytime at seminars, conferences or retreats. With anyone I connect with, I want to offer my massive networks as a way for you to grow and build cool and lasting relationships. Please connect with me deeper using this link if you want to grow yours: Website: http://www.MarkESackett.com/ There you can add me to any or all of the social media sites I use by simply choosing the ones you also like. I am always happy to forward any introduction and to think of whom I know and how I might help you do better towards living your passion in life, love or business. I love my creative life living in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles and I so enjoy sharing something I created called “The Art of Active Networking”. It’s NOT your typical networking event by far, as it provides lasting benefit to those who attend. My worldwide events provide a forum and a unique format to help others do better by sharing yourself and your amazing talents, connections and resources. I’ll bring it to any city that can gather 100 or more amazing folks to attend, and I am a great collaborator, see why over 6000 people from 38 countries have already attended.

Then let’s band together to make a big positive impact. So are you in? Now tell me more about you! I promise I too will take the 5 minutes to learn about you! If not, we always have that handy ‘delete’ button. BE WELL, BE CREATIVE, BE GREAT! Mark E.
