Are You Helping Yourself or Hurting Yourself When You Network?
We all talk about networking. We all seem to know that networking has something to do with meeting enough folks to continue to build our referral network, which in turn will continue to build our businesses.Referrals come when someone you’ve met likes you and believes you can offer the solution to someone else’s problem. So, if the goal in networking is to have someone like us, and possibly offer us a referral, then why do people make the mistake of engaging in conversations that do not promote relationships?My mother attended a party last week. She met a radio personality who immediately began talking politics with my mother. As often happens, the two did not agree and a strong debate developed.

The bill calls for “market solutions” to be used in these situations, but d

“Fear not to entertain strangers for by so doing some have entertained angels unaware.”

This quotation is from the book of Hebrews, which means it probably has nothing to do with networking.

Who holds a conference in December anyway? But, since it was a paid speaking engagement, I decided what the heck. I should have had a clue as to how things would go when I sat on the runway with an engine light malfunction for two hours. Consequently, I missed my dinner engagement when that turned a 90-minute flight into one that lasted four hours. Remember when airlines distributed snacks? Forget it. We got free head phones for a flight too short for a movie. Who can eat headphones anyway?
