supportive system of sharing information and services among individuals and groups having a common interest. All it really means is people are getting to know who you are and what you do. Don't be afraid of the word "networking."

It opens doors of opportunities and fulfills a need for social interaction. It gives you a feeling of being in control of your career.
When you network, you will learn about new products/services, new ideas and ways to do business. You will learn about your competitors and how to excel from talking with other business owners and professionals.
It takes time - Rome wasn't built in a day - neither is your company. As time passes and your contacts grow, so does your business. Always be prepared to network with everyone you meet. You never know how many people will become your best customer, your best cheerleader or your best friend. It's imperative that people know who you are. If you don't have time to network, hire someone to do it for you! Don't keep your business a secret any longer. Give people a chance to purchase your product or service.
The most important thing to remember about networking is to make it FUN!
