The networking group is limited, only one representative from each type of business or profession.


Networking is an essential skill for most business people, but especially for entrepreneurs. The strong association between the entrepreneur as a person and his or her business demands that entrepreneurs get out into the world and create and maintain business relationships.


Referrals are earned! Nobody owes us their list of contacts. We "earn" referrals in several ways. 1. knowing someone in a position to provide access to THE PERSON because of their relationship or connection .2. knowing someone who knows someone who knows THE PERSON (the basis for social networking sites) The most powerful is the third way: 3. directly knowing THE PERSON. This can happen via membership in an organization, being part of a community, a family, a neighborhood, a company roster or alumni list. This person can be your neighbor, your cousin, an acquaintance from school or a former colleague. Or the barber, mechanic, butcher or personal trainer. A timely reminder: be nice to everyone because you never know!
