The POWER Of Networking

Writes Trevor:

I received some inside news that Nikki will be writing an article in her blog - When Reality Bites - highlighting The Power Of Networking.

I quickly linked to her site to see if it was there and found a neat story - WE ARE ALL VALUABLE - where Nikki describes the story of a crumpled R100 note retaining it's value.

To take that little analogy further, I think that The Power Of Networking can be demonstrated by tearing that R100 note in half and giving it to two business-people in the room. If those two people do not network together on finding a mutually-beneficial synergistic solution to extracting value from the two pieces of that R100 note... it will be rendered worthless.

In my experience most business-people who come together have torn MILLION RAND cheques in their pockets... most just don't bother to bring them out to match them with the other pieces held by their colleagues. Those that do have magnificent experiences.

Nikki will write: 'Networking is a daily part of my life, in fact I could not imagine how my life would be if I were not able to ‘network’! I am a ‘natural’ networker and it is at times excruciatingly difficult for me to understand that this is not the case with many people! How they ‘manage’ is beyond me, which is probably why I keep threatening to write a book which I will entitle - The Reluctant Entrepreneur!’

In a recent blog article of my own - The POWER Of Networking - I discuss how SEVEN attorneys in my own network provided invaluable insight for my youngest daughter just entering her law degree at Tukkies.

And, I am reminded of how Nikki herself has opened up amazing connections in her personal network for my eldest UCT-just-graduated daughter. Thanks Nikki - you truly understand and apply the POWER of Networking - can't wait to link this article of Nikki's.
