Networking for Fun & Profit
| |
| Networking events can work for both business-to-consumer (B-to-C) and business-to-business (B-to-B) companies. Some of these events have a theme; such as industry (hospitality firms), descriptive (marketing firms), or location (businesses on the west side of town). Your local business press should print the networking groups in your area along with the day, time and location of their meetings. Many networking groups are local, while others are national lead exchange groups such as Le Tip and BNI. |

CONNECTING IS NOT ENOUGH: The Networking Journey……How networking has changed and where it is heading
| |
| May saw me celebrate a ten-year anniversary. On 11th May 1999 I started work for Business Referral Exchange, then a new networking organisation founded six months previously and with just four groups running in London, Hertfordshire and Essex. At the time networking as a formal activity was little known in the UK, with a few independent groups supplementing the networking offered by Chambers of Commerce and community groups such as Rotary.
How times have changed! Networking is now a key activity for millions of small business owners across the World and, with the rise of social online networks, is being recognised as a key skill for everyone, from jobseekers to global corporates.

Buying A Franchise: Some Do's & Don't
| |
| Life has a way of manipulating the circumstances and the conditions. Often executives and those vulnerable to economic downturns turn to consideration of business ownership.
I'm often asked when I speak to groups, "Are there some hard and fast rules of doing a proper examination or investigation of the various kinds or brands? Can you better understand the business if you do certain things?" The answer is mostly yes. The more you actually know the more confident you are once you make a decision.
But there are dangers as well. Often we study so much the line becomes blurred between what is factual and actual and what is someone's overly blustered and inaccurately stated opinion or random thoughts.
Here are some things I recommend to you that you DO: |

You've Got To Be Self Confident To Ask For Help
| |
| People lacking in self confidence don't like to feel vulnerable. Self confident people, on the other hand, realize that it's OK -- better than OK really to put themselves in a vulnerable position by asking for help. Self confident people find mentors to help them learn and grow. They realize that admitting what you don't know and asking for help are the best ways to learn what they need in order to success. |
