Professional Networking is Difficult they say. Why do you think? Networking is difficult because professionals neglect to foster and maintain their network over time regardless of their business or employment situation. It should be no surprise that it is difficult to reach out to your network in times of need if you only value your network when you need them.

Can you be successful without networking? You can't grow your business if you don't get people to know, like and trust you. You can't just lurk in the shadows, or you just end up losing out on potential business opportunities. Networking opens you up to those opportunities, whether it is today, six months from now or even later than that.

The same goes for being on social media. Social media is an essential way to reach your customers, gain valuable insights, and grow your brand. If you're avoiding this powerful communication tool, you're missing out on an incredible opportunity to connect with an audience.

The key takeaway with social media is to avoid the drama and the selfie pix and focus on educating and helping your connections and potential customers with your knowledge and build relationships. Strong relationships are the key to all success!
