| Build Your Network and Build Your Net-Worth |
Do you have a business? Do you own a shop? Are you in sales? Want to better your better?
Almost all entrepreneurs I have met all abide by the golden rule of business, "it's not what you know but who you know."
If you have not done so, check out www.meetup.com. Meetup.com is one of the best sources for networking and meeting anyone with similar interests. I get most of my events and seminars from this site that literally brings to life the term "social networking site." I look for entrepreneur clubs, investor clubs, marketing clubs, etc. and I go to atleast 3 meetups a week. I invite you to take a look and find whatever group suits your tastes and needs. If anything, join the skydiving club and see if that doesn't open you up a little.
For real estate investing, a website that anyone can go to is www.REIclub.com. REIClub.com is where i found groups like Southside Real Estate Investing Club (SSREI), WCRT, and Chicago Real Estate Investing Club (CREI). These groups meet on a monthly basis and have guest speakers who are active professionals in real estate investing. Most require a small fee to join in, but this is not an issue for people who are serious about networking with successful entrepreneurs.
Finally, there are networking companies that cater towards young people such as Young Professionals of Chicago, www.YPChicago.org. Young Professionals of Chicago host networking events for the 30 and under club. The events usually take place in chic lounges and restaurants. Check them out and become an active member of anyone one of these great organizations.
