The importance of networking should not be underestimated. I say this because, I did not do it, for years. Even though I worked for large corporations, my market was very exclusive, and my business did not depend on it. When I left to start my own business, because I had not been actively networking in my community I was behind. I started my business from scratch thinking that through visibility on social media and having a website that clients would suddenly appear. I was underestimating the power of the face-to-face relationship. If it were not for my friend Jolene Risch, who invited me to my first local networking meeting here in Dallas, I don’t know if the realization would have come to me in time. So why is it important to network? I think the example I just shared is one reason…. And there are so many more. Which is why I’m excited to bring this episode to you today specifically on the power of networking.

My guests, Susan Bryant and Phuong Jennings, will both share their thoughts on networking, how it has worked for them, and how we can use it to help each other professionally and personally.
