Networking?

I have noticed, and correct me if I am wrong, that no matter where you go there is a catch phrase in our lines of business that everyone uses - networking.  Unfortunately, that's usually as far as it seems to go - a catch phrase.  Although I have tried many times to establish a network of contacts whose lines of business would result in mutually beneficial business (and profit) relationships, they don't mature into that.  Why? 

I am positive that everyone here knows someone who could use the services of someone else we have met on this very blog.  I have received "advertisements" from other professionals to which I have inquired only to never hear from again.

I know that we are all busy, but are we using our time in the ways that produce the best results?  I propose that those of us who are seriously attempting to get REAL FINANCIAL RESULTS start a Network.  Let's learn each other's names and business and talk regularly - even by telephone - and get our businesses moving hard and fast toward the bigger profit margins that true networking will bring.

I invite anyone interested to visit my website at www.GreeneNotesLLC.Net and post on the discussion forum/blog.  Or, we can meet anywhere else - let's just do it!
