Networking, You Have To Love It!

Alright ladies and gentlemen, a very busy week or so has gone by and I am on a roll. As I said the online and offline work is going well. I am at the point now where I am meeting A LOT of people in my area, we are working well off of each other. We have also started a few groups on Cafemom to get women in our surrounding areas together to work with each other. On top of that we have joined another networking group in our area called Mastermind Moms. This group was an amazing experience for the both of us. They know the TRUE meaning of networking. The first thing they asked us was what do you need, and how can we help. As Shannon and I spoke about what we were trying to do, they were taking notes and telling us that they know of certain people that can help us with certain areas.

Shannon and I were also going to a mall here in WS to meet with one of the women from our group, now mind you neither of us that morning (honestly) wanted to leave our houses, however we went anyway. Mind you the woman we went to see did not show up, however we ran into another group of moms who were there from Triad Mommies group on cafemom. We all got to talking to each other and we sat for a while and networked with each other and watched our kids play together. You never know what is going to happen when you step out of your house.

Along with that, I have run into a great business man on Black Business Space who I have been networking with for a while now. While speaking with him he asked if I would come onto his radio show with him within an hour or so. I did. There is one thing about me if someone asks me to do something I will do my best to make sure I do it. His name is Rickey Johnson, and he is an amazing man who is doing his best to help people in the same spirit I have. His links are: http://www.juniques.us and http://www.juinques.org. Check out his pages he has a lot to offer.

This week I am not placing the link from my radio show, I am placing the player from the show that I did with Rickey, take a listen and see what networking is all about.
