NETWORKING IS WEALTH (SPEECH Z)

Ladies and Gentlemen,

In this wonderful world of emails, eBay, linkedin and tweeter, it is no longer business as usual.

In fact, we are living in a world of Business Unusual.

We don’t speak anymore – we email and SMS friends and relatives.

We don’t window-shop anymore – we surf the net for those pretty things we want.

We don’t meet anymore – we inter face using avatars and domain names – and this is sad, bad…and glad!

Glad?

Yes! Now we can connect and be better served via Networking!

With that, I want all you friendly Facebookers and thrill-seeking Tweeters: Who has made money from networking?

Great! Now, who wants to make more money through Networking?  

Fantastic! Thank you.

Yes, this is exactly what I am going to share with you today, because networking is my passion.

Blogging has helped me discover a world I didn’t know exist, connected me with friends I have yet to meet, and allowed me to share my interest with like-minded people globally.

I began blogging in my late forties with lots of handicaps - I am lousy at technology, and I am not good at writing and storytelling.

But I learn these skills from my new friends globally through Networking.

Working closely with like-minded people, sharing our meager (abundant) resources and broad (expanding) networking generously fuel us to prosper rapidly.

This rewarding and enriching journey via my networks of friends has opened doors for me, and removed my limited beliefs.

As a result, I was shown opportunities to actively participate in events related to my interests.

I have given a Radio talk on tea culture on BFM 89.9

I have conduct seminars on Looking Beyond Financial Statements

To date, I have conducted interviews with local and international authors, and participated in book launches by local and international authors.

My networking via my blogs offers me a solid platform to touch different people around the world with just a few finger clicks.

It also made me more resourceful, efficient and effective by engaging with the latest and powerful communication tools.

It colours my life with lots of new and refreshing ideas, solutions, contacts and business opportunities, so to speak.

In short, Networking is Wealth.

Networking has enabled me to impart my skills and knowledge to others so that they could acquire the skill on how to fish and not wait for someone to give them a fish. 

With this, I am able to leave my foot prints in people's hearts and repay those kind souls who have touched my life.

Through networking, both on line and off line, I have also managed to invest in some good business ventures and made handsome profits.

You know, I make money from blogging too.

Imagine being paid doing something you truly enjoy!

Now, you know why I turn my hobby, tea drinking, into a business enterprise. To know more, please check them out at my blogs.

Once people know who you are, they will feel more comfortable dealing with you. This is where integrity speaks through your action.

Another beauty of networking is its perpetual nature. You will reap more benefits over times. That's one of the reasons why I ended up with not only one blog, but a few.

Due to strong supports and responses, a few of my blogs have reached high rankings in the Google's search engine in certain keywords.

Ladies and Gentlemen, you can use networking to brand yourself, products and services.

 I guarantee that you may even get referrals and testimonials from those who are satisfied with your services and products. I have!

In conclusion, we need networking to keep things going.  Otherwise, how our is our business going to have the exposure it needs? Without much exposure, we may face the prospect of closure.

I wish you a lot of funbuilding a strong, sustainable and successful network.

I will share with you more on wealth building in my next few speeches.
