That's Why It's Called Network St%$%d!

Often I hear people say, "Ok lang kahit anong business pero pag
 networking, ayaw ko niyan" (Any business is ok but I don't want it if it's networking). I immediately get it, that that person doesn't know what he/she's talking about.

In any business, you need to learn to network with people. Come to think of it, if you're going into business, where are you going to get your fishes, in the pond or in the ocean? You need to get it, that whether its traditional business or not, you need people, hundreds, thousands and millions of them to promote your business. Don't tell me that you are only promoting your business to your family, relatives and friends. Even a small business like sari-sari store cannot survive with only relatives as clients. You need "fishes", millions and different kinds of them in different oceans to get your products and services across and you need a powerful net to get to them. This http://www.ca2020.net/profiles/blogs/its-not-just-business-its-a uses a powerful net by the way.

Each of us, is already holding a NET, whether we are employees or entrepreneurs its up to us if ever we will use it or HOW we will use it.

Come to think of it, you have a NET and you just need to make it WORK. That is why, its called NET-WORK, not NET-EAT, not NET-SEAT, not NET-WALK.

Again, It's NETWORK. Make your net, WORK.

So to make things clearer, to repeat what Robert Kiyosaki said, " Rich people look for and build networks everyone else looks for work."

You can actually choose:

1. Having a NET without making it work.
2. Having WORK yet not making use of your net.
3. Having BOTH: NET + WORK= NETWORK.

Wealthy people choose BOTH while poor people choose either/or.

If you tell me, "well I'm an employee so I don't get to choose right?". Probably, but the company you're working for made a choice to make their NET, work while you, on the other hand is busy net eating, net seating, net walking etc. So, that's why you're there.

Even if you don't do networking and you go into traditional business, you will still have to make your NET, WORK. Don't tell me your clients will just be your parents? Sorry, there's no getting away from it.

Enough about this. Gtg. Just make your net, work.
