Do you know who they know?

Businesses thrive on a people to people connect. But very often we get engrossed in the business itself and then we stop working on the business. How is this different, you ask? Ok, let's approach this differently. Are you spending most of your time in the operations? Are you losing track of strategies and how to add value to your business? If your answer is yes, then you starting to lose track in some ways and it might hurt your business. As entrepreneurs, it is wise to work on the business itself and leave the operations and management of service delivery to someone else. Quite often, it may be hard to let go, but that is the only way to free yourself aiming for the greater success!

When did you meet someone new the last time? When was the last time you went to a Business networking event? If the answer is "don't remember" or "not too often", you might be missing the whole trick. Often business thrives on contacts and referrals. What percentage of business do you get from referrals? If so, what are you doing to sustain a source of steady referrals?

Joining a Business Networking organisation might just be the answer to your challenges. Quite often we judge people on what they are and how they behave, but ask yourself, do you know who they know. Being good or helpful to someone could open a range of contacts for you to work with. There are a number of stories that highlight how a small connect led to large transactions. A neighbour, old schoolmate, vendor, supplier, a social connect, or for that matter even your Gym trainer or home gardener could connect you to the biggest connection of your life!
