Networking for the Newbie

Friday, November 16th, 2012

By Guest Blogger Bianca Osbourne

When I became a self-employed business woman just over two years ago, I knew nothing about networking. Quite frankly, I thought networking was for old men in suits. Little did I know that finding a network and building quality relationships was going to become an integral part of my business.

When you think of the word “networking,” what comes to mind? Panic, intimidation, something you just don’t want to do? If you think of it as FUN, and an opportunity to take your business to the next level, then you might change your perception.

Networking isn’t just a vehicle to give out business cards; it’s a tool to building relationships that are mutually beneficial.

NO BARRIERS—JUST RESULTS

Calling all MomPreneurs, Women In Business, Small Business Owners!!!

Tired of wondering where your next client or customer is going to come from—or staying up all night because this brilliant business idea of yours just won’t go away? Whether you’re sick of doing all you know to do to make your business profitable (and still coming up short) or just tired of WAITING to (finally) take the leap, you’ve got to meet Tory Johnson (www.toryjohnson.com).

Today Tory is the weekly Good Morning America (http://abcnews.go.com/gma/jobclub) workplace contributor, a New York Times best-selling author, and a millionaire business owner, but she hasn’t always been. Far from it, in fact.

After being coldly fired from her dream job, Tory set out to build Women For Hire (http://womenforhire.com)—a company that now has a solid presence across the nation. No deep pockets. No family connections. No special education. Just a “do-or-die” need to replace her income to support her family—fast. Now, she’s stretching her entrepreneurial muscle to help others do exactly the same.

Into an endless sea of opportunity!

I have a few questions for you:

  • Do you wake up Monday morning and wish it were Friday already?
  • Do you feel unsatisfied with your current job and wish you had more flexibility?
  • Are you tired of getting a paycheck for doing something you hate?
  • Are you a stay-at-home mom who is antsy to finally do something for herself?
  • Are you a professional who is looking to change career paths entirely?
  • Are you burning out in the corporate world?
  • Have you ever thought of turning your hobby into a career?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you just may be ready to get off the fence and START YOUR OWN BUSINESS.
