MARCH 22, 2023

I’ve gotten a lot of great business information by just listening to what people have to say, whether it’s work-related or not.

Back in the days when I bought into the hyperbole of The Hustle™, I went to a lot of networking meetups.

Pre-Plan Your Networking. Make Sure You Pack Business Cards. I realize that this sounds like networking 101 basics, but I'm amazed at the number of events that I go to where people forgot their cards.    Consider putting your picture somewhere on the card and a reason for people to go to your site.

Instead of filing the PDF on the network, the document was printed and placed in a filing cabinet , where it will sit until doomsday or at least until someone cleans out those files.
