When you’re an Entrepreneur, you’re always at work, you’re always open for business and you’re always be looking for ways to connect with potential partners. You DO NOT have to be at an official “networking event” to network. In fact, you should set an intention to connect with like-minded people who could enhance your brand everywhere you go! One thing you want to avoid, however, is coming across as fake, phony or too needy when you meet someone.  To avoid that, use these four ways to establish a genuine connection: 1. Find the Common Denominator What do you have in common? There could be a common interest, common goal or you may have a common industry.
