Think about Business Networking
Put join a group on your to do list with a big underline, star and happy face. You’ll be glad you did for more reasons than you can count. And the advice is coming from this confirmed non-networked who, in 20 years of business, considered networking a colossal waste of time. The old dog is here with a new trick.
Business networking groups bring together people who, most times, are self- employed, successful entrepreneurs or corporate folk paid truly paid for their efforts. (see commissioned salesperson) The types of businesses these networkers represent vary, but the commonality is they meet to share, learn and become better at their craft.
The networking meetings are held at times that are fairly convenient even for the most type A business owner. Early morning, mid-day or evening are the popular meeting times and all involve food of some type, contests, and sometimes cocktails.
There is a networking etiquette that is a mix of business sense and remembering what your mother taught you. Be nice. Smile. Be genuine. Don’t show up looking to dazzle everyone you meet with your slick sales pitch. To be sure, meet a lot of people, hand out a lot of cards, but give before taking. Listen more than you talk. Question more than you answer. Care about someone else and their plight.
What’s in it for me? That is the common question in many business conversations. Here is what you get by joining a networking group:
New contacts–what business can’t use more contacts? The fellow businesspersons you meet might be able to use your service. They also know lots of people and aren’t shy about recommending you.
You look like an expert to your customers. As you meet new professionals, you won’t hesitate to recommend them to your customers to handle tasks you do not. Your stock will rise appreciably with your customer for being such a willing problem solver.
Education. The meetings always revolve around a guest speaker who will bring to you valuable information about topics ranging from accounting to law, sales to hiring an employee and much more.
Friendship. Everyone can use more friends. Imagine playing golf with those that share your passion.
Advice. Ask around and fellow networkers will be glad to dispense it for free and many have already faced the same situation you now have.
Find a local networking group and get involved. It will be one of the best decisions you ever made. Go ahead. Write it down. Your to do list is waiting.

are there any networking groups for building businesses in the field of education and life coaching?
I have bloglogged and aol journaled about how the educational system and work experiences create doubt, lack of creativity, loss of identity, confusion of what are true purpose is in reaching our goals in life. Basically, they crush our dreams and unmotivate us to continue learning. I have blogged and journaled about the resources and ways we can untrain the mind from all the negative learning that takes a piece away from us as who we are as individuals. Learning how to unlearn what society thinks is good or appropriate for us, whether it be school or work or relationships. How can I get people to comment or rss to my blogging. It seems like im writing to myself since I cant seem to reach other via internet. What are some ways I can reach more discussion boards and people to grow my business in this area of untraining the mind from undue expectations the world puts on us that truly are not healthy for our individual growth and self esteem?
Hi There,
Would you like to start a yahoo group. I would join and invite a few more to join in. Hopefully with that we can get more people to network and we can benefit each other.
Perhaps you could start the group with a small core team and set the group policy or ground rules with its commitment expected from each other.
Let me know if you are starting the group and want me to contribute.
Good Luck
