To Get Connected, Be a Connector
Why is this so important? When you become known as a go-to person, your circle of influence grows. Everyone will want to ask you for a recommendation or be recommended by you. But give generously and don't keep score. You'll be more effective at building a solid network when you keep your intentions pure. If you’ve been neglecting your network recently, take a moment and think about a connection you can make that could make a big difference in the business or personal lives of your contacts. Here are 5 ideas:
Good networkers are generous with sharing information and resources because networking is not only about getting what you need, but helping others get what they need. Sometimes we find it hard to get into the giving mentality because we question what value we can possibly offer. But we all have something to give, and making a connection for someone can be priceless. © 2003-2007 Liz Lynch WANT TO USE THIS ARTICLE IN YOUR E-ZINE OR WEB SITE?

Hi there! 
By the time you read this, I’ll be just at the starting point of a 3-week vacation in Asia, which means that with my twice monthly publishing schedule, I’ll be writing the next issue of Network NOW from somewhere in Indonesia. But that’s okay, I look forward to the challenge of finding networking inspiration among the volcanoes and rice fields on the other side of the world. ;-)
Making referrals and recommendations on behalf of others is a critical activity in networking, and probably something most of us don’t do enough of because we’re too busy with own issues. So I’ve been trying to make more of an effort lately to make connections and bring more people within my network closer together.
If you live in the New York City area, join me and Rick Frishman, publicity guru and author of Networking Magic, as we show you how to use networking effectively and efficiently as a tool for reaching both professional and personal goals.
