This posting strays from the typical blog that you will normally find on my "financial tips" site, but certain networking approaches amaze me. When it comes to utilizing tools to expand your business, whether it be product or service based, one must be tactful. The idea is to offer your services to others in return for the possibility that you may get some business in return down the road.
If you go out in search of people who are waiting around, wishing that someone would approach them with a request for their help, you will find that those opportunities rarely exist. It has been my practice to reach out to those that I know I can help, and hope for the best. The worst thing that can happen is that you help them and they do not return the favor. This is not an ideal situation by any means, but it happens. People that commonly network like this are bound to be unsuccessful in the long run. It all goes back to the idea behind Ralph Waldo Emerson's Compensation. Those of you who have read this essay know that it all boils down to the golden rule.
My point is this: When attempting to establish a professional network, be empathetic. In general, you will find that by initially offering your assistance to another professional, you will be more than satisfied with the ensuing reciprication.

Just as the name states, this blog aims to give honest, direct and effective investment advice. Unique investment techniques directed toward everyday decisions can make the difference between living comfortably and struggling to maintain your lifestyle.
