Helping someone is its own reward. If you lead with that mindset, you never become a user.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for thinking of me, Julien, I appreciate it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758836516479126281.post-4065681116461416212008-05-30T09:24:00.000-04:002008-05-30T09:24:00.000-04:00Talking with someone who could not attend the even...Talking with someone who could not attend the event but looked at my presentation, I received the comment that it "looks" like everything is calculated in networking and that the only purpose of connecting with people is to use them. <BR/><BR/>I wanted to provide some quick comments about this. Even if networking is often performed at first to build a network who can be "used", the best contacts made become relationships. <BR/><BR/>Many "contacts" I made during various events often became good friends, mentors and business partners - genuine relationships - and that's the goal. <BR/><BR/>There are many people in my network I will never ask to help me out with anything, they already do without knowing it. They are in my network because they inspire me and because I learn from them. <BR/><BR/>To everyone in my network: thank you!Julien Dionnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495634468703089244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758836516479126281.post-63896510876603977972008-05-30T08:21:00.000-04:002008-05-30T08:21:00.000-04:00Hey Julien, Thank you so much for the presentation...Hey Julien, <BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for the presentation today.
