I have been trying to think about how I can talk about this subject and address it in a way that would be fair and balanced without injecting too much personal opinion and have decided to first talk about the types of groups and then later on be more specific. It is important to remember that you will have preferences that may not align with mine, but that each of us share a common goal in our networking. More business and possibly more friends.

Leaders help others. If you are going to be successful in network marketing, you must arm your new distributors against people who will try to convince them their business won't work. Show your downline you want them to be successful. Encourage them. Show them how the most successful network marketers have achieved their success, and teach them to model those attitudes, habits, and actions. Remind your distributors that they are the CEO of their lives. Arm them with the power of positive thinking so they don�t let others live their lives for them with their negative attitudes.

Network marketing is the process of earning residual income through the products and its referral system. This is occasionally called multilevel marketing.

Perhaps the term business networking is a misnomer. Think of it as people networking, because it is PEOPLE that make networking successful.

Remember that any career-minded individual can use business networking to advance their professional progress, and to make their work life easier. You may be a teacher, plumber, customer service representative, stockbroker, social worker, doctor, or a telephone repair person. Perhaps you have a part-time job or you work at home taking care of the family and the house. Networking can help everyone!

Far from being a case of "those who can't do, teach", those who take music education jobs are talented not only as artists but as teachers who want to pass their love of music on to another generation, to ensure that there is always music in the world. Once upon a time, a degree in music education was seen as a 'fallback option'- the job that would always be there if a performing or pro...

At a Chamber of Commerce Business Card Exchange several years ago a well-dress woman walked up to me, business card in hand and, in perfect form held it in both hands in front of me, gesturing for me to take it. I took the card from her and smiled. She looked up and in a polite voice, said "Thank you," and walked away. How sad. Here was this obviously well-intentioned woman, who most likely owned an interesting business but never learned what to do at a card exchange. Somewhe...
