]]> Comment on Networking by David http://sheldesign.wordpress.com/2008/04/26/networking/#comment-27 David Tue, 01 Jul 2008 21:47:03 +0000 http://sheldesign.wordpress.com/?p=11#comment-27 Networking is the best way to get started in business. Not only do you meet like minded people but it gives an opportunity for your business to reach people because as most of us know word of mouth advertising/promotion is very valuable. Using the resources and people you have around is a gret way to gain an advantage over other businesses. Just think how many people you know. They then know more people and so it goes on. You can also learn from others that you network with. Their experiences can teach you lessons good and bad and once again you can use that to your advantage.

I was talking with my Dad this morning & he was saying it's time to start looking at what I'm doing and cut out things that aren't profitable! That's a scary thought...

I think that is why a peer sometimes explains something better than an expert - they use familiar terms. Good luck with those miltestones Michelle :) I agree – the change of a word can make a huge difference to someone’s understanding or how they relate to something.

It is also very cheap! A good habit to be in is to thank anyone who does refer potential customers to you - that way, even if they don't get anything conrete out of it, they feel appreciated and may well do it again! Plus it is just good manners. Networking is by far the most effective marketing I’ve used in my business. It is also very cheap!

It might be about semantics, but I firmly believe in working with what works for you. If milestones is something you can relate to, that's the term you use. I tend to break my major goals into baby-steps and take one of these steps at a time. To me, the word 'goal' sounds competitive whereas 'milestone' signifies an achievement.
