The Power of Community

The Power of Community

If you have ever tried to do business alone you will know that business is all about people. Your customers, your staff, your network are all people. Relationships are what makes businesses function.

If you are in a tense or a begrudging relationship, everything is hard work. But, if you find someone you can align with or where some trust is already established then everything just flows smoothly.

A network, or a community, is a group of people that support one another. Rather than just turning up, they show up for each other. In other words, they don't just go through the motions, they proactively advocate and edify each other.

A community is there to support, to share knowledge and experience and is a place where likeminded people gravitate together and build connections based on trust.

Are you part of a real community or do you just turn up and drop off your business cards?

Check out the Relevate Community and see if you are networking the right way.
