Networking - Making or Breaking Your Business
One of my favorite business authors is Harvey Mackay. He has written many books on networking and success. He has such wonderful simple principles and guidelines that if we all would follow them, we would see a drastic change in our businesses. I'd like to share a few of my favorite bits and quotes from his book "Dig Your Well Before You're Thirsty" (A Currency Book, Published by Doubleday Copyright 1997). Even though this book is geared towards networking, there are many truths and thoughts to bring into any business. And really, in essence, our business will die without us actively pursuing the practice of networking.

"No matter how smart you are, no matter how talented, you
can't do it alone." |
"Find an outfit to join that recognizes you have something
to offer, and find out what they can offer you: contacts, exposure, experience.
It's all there - in exchange for a little effort."
"The wise person isn't the one who makes the fewest mistakes. It's the one who
learns the most from them."
Networking is, in my opinion, one of the most critical areas of your business
that you need to constantly keep on top of. Your "network" needs to consistently
be growing for your business to continue to prosper. When you are tuned into
networking, you will become aware of the fact that opportunities to network are
presented to you each and every day, in almost every situation.
