Networking Is NOT for YOU!!!

If you are easily annoyed with people ... then networking is not for you.

If you find attending business social events to be a waste of your valuable time... then networking is not for you.

If you think the other people in attendance at networking events are beneath you.... then networking is not for you.

If you do not see the value in helping others succeed... then networking is not for you.

If you are so busy that you cannot invest the time to establish relationships that can and will become mutually beneficial in the long run... then networking is not for you.

If you want a shortcut to success.... then networking is not for you.

If you are always making excuses about why networking wont work for you... then networking is not for you.

If you put down the people who have succeeded because of their contacts and referral networks... then networking is not for you.

If you hate the term "networking" and put it down as somewhat icky.... then networking is not for you.

There is not law that says you need to make, grow and keep business relationships. Nobody is forcing you to establish contacts and invest in cultivating professional relationships.

Networking is a choice. You either think it is a valuable part of your future achievements, or you do not. If you do not... why in the world have you read this blog post to this point?

Have A Great Day.
