With summer in full swing and everyone out and about, I find myself in the “it’s a small world mode”.
It’s either because I’m getting older (as much as I hate to admit it), or because I’m cutting across many different social networks. Whatever the reason, it’s great. Reconnecting with folks, cross-pollinating friendships between old and new acquaintances, and cultivating new relationships, it’s all good on both a personal and business level.
I’m treating that theory of 6 degrees of separation like my golf handicap – battling to get it down!
Why this Post?
Because I find that summer is an absolutely perfect time to “connect” – people generally tend to be in a connecting mindset and there’s no shortage of things to do or talk about. The perfect conditions for networking and building new relationships. We often get so busy that we dismiss social events as taking time away – but in fact, it’s one of the best business investments you can make.
It’s no secret that a strong network is a pillar for building great companies. So take advantage of this time of year - whether you golf, play tennis, bike, love to cook, or whatever, find an activity or create an event to extend your network.
Just think of it this way -- It’s simply good business.
