I can give ten excuses for not writing but I won’t.  The business has picked up four-fold and I am getting more involved in my brain child LinkedinOmaha, a local networking website that focuses on bringing local Linkedin users together monthly and 24/7 online. I have also joined local Toastmasters Group that meets once a week.

This past one year has been a great learning experience as I have expanded my business network, built strong relationships with many small businesses, developed websites, done speaking assignments and made big plans for the year ahead.

While the best is yet to come, past one year has taught me that networking is a key to successful business.  While it does consume time, networking brings results sooner or later. My co-networkers that I met about a year ago, remembered me and have provided referrals that has resulted in substantial business.

Finally, I would like to thank members of my networking group Business Development Alliance for providing me strong support in the form of business masterminding and referrals.
