Always be Networking

If you want to be successful, it's a huge boost if you can master a skill. Years ago I decided to practice the art of networking. Secondly, I wanted to be as good at networking as possible.

Many people think of networking as a tool for job searching. But that's too limiting. Networking is just as important when you have a job. "Always be closing" is a line from the famous movie "Glengarry Glen Ross." In a twist on that theme, think Always be networking.

Networking is open to most everyone. It is professionally accepted and welcomed behavior for the most top of executives to entry level people. Here's some of the benefits:

1. A person can start friendships and build lasting bonds.
2. You can network for industry news, connect with new people in your network, and those outside of it.
3. An astute networker can assist others in their objectives and goals.

Always be networking, even when you reach your goals. Keep your contacts in mind, think about assisting others and it will make you a believer in the power of people and your networking power.
