Networking………..

For many of us networking and personal or direct business referrals is the basis of our businesses. This is especially true for professionals and service providers such as myself. I belong to a couple of networking groups in Perth and enjoy them.

As a young man I was lucky enough to befriend one of Perth’s most successful and prominent businessmen. I will not identify him here as that would be wrong, however he has helped me greatly over the years. I have often reflected on the way he and a group of his business (and personal) friends have networked over the years. From the time I first met him / them over 40 years ago, each of them actively traded with each other, referred business to each other, invested in each other business, and helped each other establish new businesses. When things were difficult they also helped each other get through the tough times. Don’t think for one minute this was pure friendship. Whilst they were undisputedly friends, the assistance always made each of them money. Nothing was for free, but it was constructive and designed for each of them to win. It is noteworthy that each of these men is now very, very wealthy. More importantly they have each had highly satisfying careers. I have always greatly admired this / them, and have shared this philosophy with my children in the hope that they will learn to act as a team throughout their lives.

I am sharing this with you because I am interested in starting an on line network. Whilst I am very happy with the two networks I am in, I would like to do more. Networking should not be about networking fees, etc. It is about business and working together. In that spirit I am therefore curious to explore those possibilities with you. Please respond to me letting me know if you share my beliefs regarding this, and whether you are interested in starting an on line networking group. Who knows what we can achieve. I suspect it could be very significant. Your thoughts?

Cheers
