At the end of every year, it is a good idea to reflect on what has worked and not worked for you with networking. Since Thanksgiving just passed, I thought that it was appropriate to list what I am thankful for this past year. Think about what you are thankful for as well. Here are my top five.
1. Started using Send Out Cards – helps me stay in touch better by sending more frequent personal cards
2. Expanded my network significantly – met dozens of new people by leveraging my existing network and had meetings with as many people as I could
3. Became a writer for Soho Magazine – met publisher through an existing relationship and became a monthly writer about networking; has helped with my personal brand
4. Leveraged my network to generate business – started a new job this year that tested my business development skills
5. Ran a business leads group with a friend – gave me the opportunity to connect even more people on a monthly basis; great way for me to stay in touch with people
