Business: Who Loves Networking????

Who Loves Networking????

Written by Dorene Lehavi

Many professionals who don’t enjoy networking equate it with selling. I have heard many say, I’m a professional. I didn’t go to school to learn to sell and they didn’t teach it. It is a common belief that in order to get new clients professionals need to make cold calls and do other activities they find distasteful and uncomfortable. It would be helpful and probably a relief to understand that networking is a different story. The purpose of a good network is much more than a basis for getting new clients. A network of connections, which has been built over time, is a source for many things, such as career management in general, a resource for information and even valuable friendships. It is not an overnight way to get new clients. It is a support system for repparttar

long run. The main feature of a good network is that it is mutually beneficial. Did you ever put two people in touch for something helpful to both of them? Did you ever recommend a restaurant to someone? Those are examples of networking. Despite repparttar 103448

way it is commonly done, networking is not about elevator speeches, nor an exchange of business cards in repparttar 103449

hope

recipient will become or refer a client. Networking is a sincere interest in learning and understanding repparttar 103451

needs of someone else with repparttar 103452

purpose of you being able to help them now or in repparttar 103453

future with a referral, some information or other helpful gesture. Obviously you hope for reciprocity.

Public Domain – The Internet Goldmine

Written by Eric Wichman

With repparttar

advent of

internet and repparttar 103448

ease of which information can readily be downloaded and compiled you would think that more people would realize that repparttar 103449

public domain is a source of wonderful wealth that can be tapped into for huge profits.

I have spent repparttar 103450 last 4 years “discovering” little known secrets of this information that is readily available to those who know where to look. Or should I say “prospect”. That’s exactly what it is. It’s Mining. When you mine repparttar 103451 internet, you are not mining little rocks in a quarry or dredging a cold river looking for that elusive nugget of gold. You are searching for repparttar 103452 gold of repparttar 103453 future, and of repparttar 103454 past. Information becomes your ore. You now become an information prospector. A “Millennium-Age Gold Miner.”

The tools of your trade are much different today than in repparttar 103455 days of old. Your “pick-axe” has evolved into your mouse, and your “gold pan” is your hard drive. Your computer is repparttar 103456 dredge and your internet connection is your “claim”. In repparttar 103457 old days when a prospector found gold he would drive a stake in repparttar 103458 ground and this would become his claim. You are doing repparttar 103459 same thing when you sign repparttar 103460 contract for your internet connection. You are staking a claim to repparttar 103461 largest source of wealth in repparttar 103462 world. Public Domain Information.

You transcend repparttar 103463 boundaries of repparttar 103464 physical world by entering a realm in which it is possible to find riches in repparttar 103465 deepest recesses and crevices of repparttar 103466 web. The public domain is repparttar 103467 undiscovered country of repparttar 103468 information age. It’s mysteries are deep as oceans and it’s knowledge as expansive as repparttar 103469 universe. The public domain now becomes ultimate natural resource.

Information has always reigned king since repparttar 103470 beginning of time. There are millions of us who know not repparttar 103471 sheer power and value of repparttar 103472 information that is freely available to anyone who knows where to look.
