Grow people

In my last post I mentioned an event that Andy Lopata and I spoke at.

Andy finished with a great quote from an old proverb;

If you want to be prosperous for a year, grow grain.

If you want to be prosperous for ten years, grow trees.

If you want to be prosperous for a lifetime, grow people.

How many people does it take for a good networking meeting?

I attended a networking showcase event recently where a number of us introduced our own business networking organisations. Andy Lopata also spoke and mentioned a great networking event that he attends every month where there are just 2 attendees, Andy and I. We are at the stage where we advocate each other and every month we progress our business relationship further. Our 121 meeting is very productive in generating referrals. Andy mentioned one instance where my referral led him to business in an organisation he had been targetting for 4 years.

Next time you find yourself asking 'how many people will be at the event?' maybe think about another question.

'Will the people there be ones that I can build productive business relationships with?'
