Networking for a living

I have been networking all my life, long before the term "Networking" was created. Years ago, I wanted to find a way to super charge my networking capabilities. I had attended tons of networking events and meetings. There were some things I really like and other things I didn't. One day, I decided if it were up to me, what would I like to see at a networking group? On 4/1/03 I created my own group called, "The Motivational Roundtable". I wanted a place that other people could connect and share things that worked well and things to avoid.

Little did I know that I had created something that others would really enjoy. People sent me lots of emails explaining their experience and how it had saved them time and money. I knew that if you want to be a success, you had to discover the secrets of accelerated business development. If you can learn something quickly, efficiently and tips to avoid the pitfalls of running a business, then you had a better chance of creating something very special.

I love networking so much, that I had thought..."wouldn't it be nice to actually do networking for a living?" If you believe in The Law of Attraction like I do, then you guessed it, I found a position in Sept. 2005 as the Managing Director for a women's networking organization called, eWomenNetwork.

That was 3 years ago and 100's of members later. I discovered that I was also attracting other women just like me. These women all wanted to accomplish more, become strong and self-confident, achieving more than they thought they could. I guess I wanted to surround myself with other highly successful and dynamic women so we could all benefit.

I have coached and mentored hundreds of people (not just women) to reach and obtain more in their professional life. I had always told them to find a way to stand out and shine. In the world of business, it's important to separate yourself from your competition. To personally brand yourself even if you worked at a company. When you network, you find tons of people that are in the same industry and doing what you do. What makes you Unique?

In January 2008, I decided to take my own advice and "The Sassy Networker" was born. It's my own personal branding and ultimately the title of my book.
