A Little Help From Your Friends
Whether you own a business and are looking to grow or have recently become unemployed and are looking for work, there is one thing that can help you get to where you want to go: networking.

The other day I was speaking with a colleague of mine. She’s recognized in North America as one of the continent’s top authorities on finding a job. She has a top-selling book, sells out conferences and has been featured on news programs across the county, talking about the importance of networking to find work.

She says that, these days, people rely too heavily on the Internet in their job search and, due to this fact, they rarely get hired. She says to get hired, you have to pick up the phone, make calls and get on the street to talk to people.

As she was explaining this to me, I told her that I agreed that networking was the best way to get hired, but asked her if there was a way for entrepreneurs to grow their businesses the same way.

She responded by saying that this was a very exciting time for the American economy, entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs. I asked her if by “exciting” she had meant to say “depressing.” She told me, however, that through networking, new and existing entrepreneurs could grow their businesses in this economy. She assured me that the work was in fact there; people just had to do a little more to find it.

She suggested that the first thing you should do is determine exactly what it is you want to accomplish. It’s important to be as specific as possible here. This way, you can get a better idea of where to look for help. Ask yourself what you want to be, where you want to take your business or what kind of business you want to start. Once that stuff is clearly identified, you can begin your search.

Start calling people and asking them about opportunities. Ask around and find the right people to talk to and see what they can offer. Remember not to always come right out and ask about what you want; rather, facilitate a relationship. Ask them for advice and what they’d like to see happen in their industry and offer any insight that you possibly can. Try to maintain an open dialogue, but ensure they do most of the talking. The more they talk, after all, the more information you can extrapolate and use to your advantage

It’s true that the key to getting what you want is to meet and become acquainted with people you trust and can approach for help. They can give you the opportunities needed to grow. If you’re looking to find employment or grow a business, start building relationships. There’s a good chance that they can get you where you want to go.
