Here we are in a brand new year. Do you feel any different? I guess I do...a little bit. The beginning of the new year is always so full of hope and promise. The U.S. will be seeing a new Administration as well as history in the making when Barack Obama takes office as the first black president in U.S. history.
We still have our challenges...remember that economic thing going on? Yep...that's still here with us in 2009...no ball dropping in Times Square, New York seemed to fix that, no matter how energy-efficient it was. The fireworks launched off the London Eye and every other world landmark in honor of January 1, 2009 didn't seem to do much for the economy either...
...but there's still the hope...the promise...the potential for positive change...
One thing's for sure...no matter how scarce money seems to be at this time, there doesn't seem to be any shortage of networking opportunity. In fact, is it me or have the invites from colleagues and people we don't even know to every network under the sun(online or otherwise) seemed to increase?
As I've stated in many articles regarding the Laws of Relationship Capital (even in my article this month), Intellectual and Relationship Capital preced any Financial Capital. Perhaps it's no wonder then that we're either scrambling or continuing to scramble to build those connections that will lead to positive change for ourselves. It's a perfect example of "when the going gets tough, the tough get going".
So here's to the wonderful promise of networking opportunity this year. May those who have give to those that need and let's make this world a better place. To find the best opportunities and get some of the best ideas how to make the most of your networking, we hope you continue to make TNNW your networking publication of choice...you'll be glad you did!
Speaking of reasons to be glad, we are introducing a new column this week for the small to mid-sized companies out there looking to do business with larger companies. How do you get in? With whom do you speak? Where do you go to network? Please join us in welcoming Claudine Halpern, CEO of the YCH Group as she answers these questions in our new monthly column Dealing with Giants. WELCOME CLAUDINE!!!
There is certainly more in store over the next coming weeks. Most of the feedback we've received regarding our new look and new services have been quite positive. This is the year that we are committing to bringing more value to our subscribers (and now that it's 2009: members).
How are we going to do this? By growing TNNW from being just a publisher of networking content unlike any other and turning it into a provider of premium services that no networker can do without...all for the most reasonable rates that we can negotiate. We have and continue to grow one of the world's most phenomenal networks and you're a part of it - we want to share all we can with you
Let's make it a memorable 2009 together!
New for 2009...
