2 Reasons Why You Should Join Business Networking Groups
By admin | July 3, 2009
For some time now, people have asked me what the truth in regards to business networking groups is. And I have been pondering on what is the right answer in this direction – you see, there is no precise way of quantifying how useful business networking groups can be to you and your business. While at first I would be tempted to say, “They are truly useful” I come to think that not everybody is built to discuss in groups and make connections. Therefore, I will open this article by mentioning that business networking groups are designed only for those willing to listen to other people’s opinions, to learn from others’ mistakes, not to mention to abide to some unwritten rules of the business networking groups. The first thing that comes to my mind when it comes to why one should join business networking groups is to make new business connections. When you have to carry around a business without any additional help, without having someone to share your disasters and your highlights with, it becomes discouraging. Telling your family or close friends make no difference because they might not understand, and often they are unable to give an actual advice. Business networking groups underline the most important part of being human – the need of connection.
Whether you believe it or not, very few business networking groups are solely about their business. Actually, some of the most dull business networking groups discuss only about business – people are people and they sometimes need to connect through other means than just discussing about their business. Cracking jokes, going out in large groups to discuss different issues can be a great way to make business connections. A real business networking group will take everything to the next level – it will have speakers and programs, it will often take its members out for presentations in regards to methods of succeeding in your niche and so on. Finally, a serious business networking group will allow any Tom, Dick and Harry to improve his business to as much as 100 percent. I guess this is one of the first reason for which I recommend joining business networking groups.
The second reason is due to the fact that you are able to find the answer to your questions a lot faster. I mean, when you are forced to do research on your own, and see what others had to say through books or articles, you have no idea whether the idea will work in your case. When you are discussing with someone that went through the same thing you did, you will find a lot easier to see the solution to your problem by taking advantage of your colleague’s knowledge.
Making connections with people in your own niche can bring a breath of fresh air in your business – you are not forgotten in your office chair anymore trying to pull your business through, but you are doing everything you can to keep it up to date. Remember that your business is like your own child, and often it is better to ask than to play smart and try to find all the answers on your own.

Help answer the question about networking groups
are there any networking groups for building businesses in the field of education and life coaching?I have bloglogged and aol journaled about how the educational system and work experiences create doubt, lack of creativity, loss of identity, confusion of what are true purpose is in reaching our goals in life. Basically, they crush our dreams and unmotivate us to continue learning. I have blogged and journaled about the resources and ways we can untrain the mind from all the negative learning that takes a piece away from us as who we are as individuals. Learning how to unlearn what society thinks is good or appropriate for us, whether it be school or work or relationships. How can I get people to comment or rss to my blogging. It seems like im writing to myself since I cant seem to reach other via internet. What are some ways I can reach more discussion boards and people to grow my business in this area of untraining the mind from undue expectations the world puts on us that truly are not healthy for our individual growth and self esteem?

I have tried to do business using the small networking groups. I have been involved with people who are trying to make a living with them.
Ahhhh they don't work. WHY? People come and people go. No one stays long and very little business is done. They all become a hangout spot for an hour and a little tax right off that is not Worth even mentioning unless people are in many of these little groups.
My suggestion is to find something else to sink your teeth into.

Hi There,
Would you like to start a yahoo group. I would join and invite a few more to join in. Hopefully with that we can get more people to network and we can benefit each other.
Perhaps you could start the group with a small core team and set the group policy or ground rules with its commitment expected from each other.
Let me know if you are starting the group and want me to contribute.
Good Luck

There are generally LEADS groups out there possibly through the chamber of commerce or rotary international. Typically the LEADS groups are limited to one professional from each profession. They do this so if one person has a LEAD, the others can benefit as opposed to compete with one another for the lead.
As with many businesses, the securities business is very cut throat and no one wants to share the potential big whale.
Good luck.

I made a group, but when I try to post something for everyone to say it say it’s by me not the actual group. And I don’t know how to do it.
