Within 25 minutes of the November issue going out, readers sent me 14 emails. I`m humbled by the speed, volume and concern in your responses. I spent the rest of the month in meeting people who cared enough to help. There are more meetings and lunches in January. Excellent opportunities are available.
There`s a lesson here. Networks work when you add value without looking for immediate gain. Networks work when you build connections before you need them. You plant seeds, nurture and wait.. That takes patience. That takes discipline. That takes time.
Thanks for reading. Feel free to send your comments, questions and article suggestions.
Let's learn and share.
You can easily reach me by Replying to this eNewsletter. However, responses will be delayed since, I'm in India, returning on New Years Day.
If I can help you in other ways, simply ask.
