Networking ~ It's Easy When you ASK!

We are always hearing that one of the most important things in business is the ability to Network!  Building relationships and connecting with people is what it's about! Is this realy true?  YES.  So why is it so hard for so many to "connect" and to build valuable relationships that have an impact on business and/or life.  What I have found over the years is that we are too busy talking about ourselves!   Let's think about this another way ~ if I'm talking about myself ....it leaves little time to get to know the person in front of me and whether or not they may be a valuable connection.  I'm still amazed after attending 100's of networking events that I am VERY RARELY asked a question?  Here's a tip - ASK A QUESTION and you'll see how easy building your network can be. Here are a few to get you started:  1. Tell me, what brought you here today?  2. What type of business are you in?  3. Do you live in the area?  What questions work for you?
