At one time I lived way out in the back country and raised a ranch and my sons there (not by myself).? As the kids grew up, I found ways to move out into the world again, after being a stay-at-home mom, with my big public face being that of a school board member.? I developed a couple of businesses along the way, taking any opportunity I had to make money along the long and winding Route 1 way through Big Sur up to town.
?
One day, I was invited to accompany a client to a business event, a big gathering of people from all over the country, that changed everything for me.? I saw and heard about things I had never dreamed of.? I said to myself that there was not one person in the room who was smarter than me, and I dove in. I wanted what I was seeing to be what I was doing.? It was time for a change, and I knew it.? I just didn’t know how it was going to happen.
?
Next to me was sitting a woman who told me about the local professional women’s network.? I immediately joined online even though I had never attended a meeting!? Why?

BECAUSE>>>I didn’t know how to find out who to get help from if I needed it in business. Because I knew I would meet people who would teach me things I needed to know. Because I wanted to learn, to make friends, to get opportunities.? And all those things have happened as I have now networked for over ten years, both in person and online. Best choice ever!? By gaining the experiences I did I have grown as a person and in my professional capacities in ways I could not have imagined.
?
Networking can do so much.? You find mentors, you test the waters, take risks, find out who is real and who is full of BALONEY. You are not going to figure these things out on your own!? It takes time to learn about the people you meet and find the connections that are right for you. Once I did this, I found the people I knew I could rely on for things I would need and made some friendships that will last forever.
?
Networking can save you time, money, and even your life.? It is the very best way to get your feet wet (if you are still on the dock), to take swimming lessons (if you just dove in), to find lifelong friends who will support you in business and in life, to swim with as experts and teammates.

7 个月Betty Withrow, She is awesome to work with and helped me to stay on track when I was writing my book. I had struggled for years wanting to get started and she was great about letting me know whether or not I was going the right direction and if not which way I needed to shift. I highly recommend her if your wanting to get going on your book. Thank you so much Betty, In Gratitude, Yolanda Martinez
