That phrase from the prose work by the English writer John Donne is every bit as true today as it was when the author penned it in 1624. Forgive us for the slight change to include women.
If your business is not as successful as you would like, maybe it's time for a checkup from the neck up. Do you incorporate networking into your daily efforts to promote your business?
We are talking about putting your foot to the pedal and REALLY reaching out to others. Most folks will answer by telling us that they support their local Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, etc. etc. ad nauseum.
Business owners frequently join local organizations with an eye toward who they can "meet and greet" to better promote their own agendas or merely as a social outlet.
Meaning no disrespect, if that is your sole purpose in belonging to those or other organizations, save your money. Look, there's nothing wrong with either reason for joining.
