Community Networking, enjoy yourself at the same time (Part 3 of 3)

Community Networking, Part 3 of a 3 part series.

Many people think networking means work. It doesn't have to mean work. It can mean fun and enjoyment while building your business at the same time.

Here is a couple of example of personal networking ventures. Our uncle was in a nursing home, we make note than make of the occupants never had visitors. They made excuses for their relatives not seeing them but down deep they wished they had a loved one stopping in to see them.

This same scenario is played out all over the US. We (my wife and I) started to expand our visits to people we said hello to in the halls. They always brightened up with a smile of appreciation and acknowledgment. We spent a few more minute per visit saying a bit more and getting to know our nameless smiling friends. Pretty soon they were part of every visit.

We ended up learning more about the nursing home staff. We even listed and helped a couple staff members buy homes. The families were told of our visitations of caring when they came to visit. Our positive gestures moved past the nursing home into the homes of the relatives. The relatives wanted to know more about why we would care. The answer was simple...they just needed conversation and we were willingly able to listen. With time we knew the relatives too. We have listed one of their homes too. It takes a bit of time but you can enjoy your efforts and make money doing it.

The opportunity to network can be fun. You can do little league, soccer, baseball, hiking, kayaking, biking, dancing with groups...you can serve food, help at pantries, yard work, volunteer and get huge personal satisfaction and have fun doing it. The dividends from being a community servant will give you more business and what is your best advertising method? Word of mouth. What is the most cost effective advertising method? Word of mouth!

So have some fun, network and make money doing it and feel great that you have impacted someone else's life in the process.
