It's nice to know that in business there exist many types of human kindness. When I take time to think of all the wonderful people that I've met whilst networking, and the paths that have lead on from this, I am amazed.
The "6-steps-from-anyone" rule of contacts certainly can apply when networking, I've proved this many times over. The rule is, that you are only ever 6 steps from someone that you would like to meet, i.e. someone in your network will know someone who may know someone who can put you in touch with that person. However, what I find so wonderful about the whole networking scenario, is how busy business-minded people, will spend their time doing favours for you, for no economical gain themselves.
In turn, I do the same, and always have, when I cast my mind back. However, it seems even more wonderful when this favour is reciprocated. They always say "it's easier to give than to receive" don't they?
This blog, really is, just a thank you to all the people I've met whilst networking, it has helped me to realise that not everyone is in business is a "money grabbing egoist" - far from it!
