Do some networking
Sometimes in this crazy world, it’s just about who you know. After all your world-beating business plan, or universe-denting invention might go nowhere if you don’t have the right connections to build a great team and open the right doors. Almost any book on success will tell you it is important to build your network and strengthen your networking skills. It can be the key to finding the right job, or getting the big lead that helps you close that million-dollar deal. So here’s a link to a site that is all about making links, of the people sort. LinkedIn is an interesting tool for helping you build and manage your network. First off, the basic service is free, which as you know is my favorite flavor. You can place a profile online to let other members know what your skills are and what type of opportunities you are looking for, you can also invite contacts to link to you and share networks. That’s the cool part, every member of your network can potentially help you grow your network by sharing contacts, and vice versa. Check it out, chances are someone you know is already a member.
