Definition of Networking = "Discovering what you can do for someone else"
- Darcy Rezac (The Frog and the Prince)

So true! Helping others, helps you help you too. Say that fast five times…

Taking that first step and signing up at OSP!! =)

I love this!!!

However, it seems around here that either they dont even know what networking is or they only want to network if they see something in another that can benefit themselves. The photographers that actually do network in my area only want to do so with photographers/vendors who are already established in the business, even if said networking photographer is not. Its sort of frustrating.

I love to help! I know how hard it is to be doing everything on your own.

Thanks for passing this on, David!

I love what your definition says about doing for others.

The world that we live in would be so much better if the concept of servicing others was applied to every aspect of life. When you are sick ~ help someone who's sick, when you are sad ~ smile at someone, when you need help ~ help someone else, when you are blessed ~ bless someone else.

The shape of the world {round} I believe wasn't by any accident. Round means never ending, that things will come back to you, a symbol for connection. We are all connected and share an energy if you are sending out negative energy or seeking a connection to someone for negative personal gain you will attract negativity.

Networking is .... for me building a connection, a genuine connection, that I may be able to lend a hand or send a blessing to someone I know or someone that I know may help me in my time of need. Networking has also been a challenge for me as Theresa Marie stated.

Networking is radical! so, if you are scared to meet other people consider these things. it is a great way to learn, help out others, grow your biz, get support, ask questions and Love what you do!
