Over the last week or so my inbox has been full of well meaning advice about goal setting and new year resolutions. The same topics have seemed to dominate on blogs and social media. One thing has been missing from a lot of what I have read - the importance of knowing where you are starting from. You may be a lot nearer to your goals than you think. One of the common mistakes people make when building a business network is thinking that it is all about making new contacts. Don't forget the people who already know, like, rate and trust you.
I shared some tips on how to identify the people already in your network in a short podcast that you can listen to here:
I heard someone say once that if you don't know where you are going then any road will do as you don't know which one to follow. Equally if you don't know where you are then you don't know which road to take.

Hi
Sorry to see you are moving. Research amongst Fortune 500 Company executives shows that the majority of their internet research is confined to independent Blogs. These are blogs written outside the confines of a web site, and viewed as authoritative.
The psychology is that as the views presented are in these independent or separate blog is not part of a commercial organisation. They are then free of commercial interest, not true but it’s about perception. So by adding your Blog to your web site you are likely to see less traffic to it. OK the SEO boys love them as they constantly add content so Google ranks the site better. I would rather see them held separately.
good information on business events and business networking
