The Connect, Grow, Profit Network

Phil Minnes knows networking. From successful network marketer to president of the Atlanta Jaycees, Phil has built his business and personal life around meeting, helping and sharing with others.

That’s exactly what I observed when I attended a recent IBAL Breakfast at The Buckhead Club in Atlanta.

This is an exciting article since it’s the 12th article I have written for the National Networker. I will have completed a full year of writing. It's an accomplishment since I didn’t think I would have anything to write about when I started.

With your permission, I would like to slightly away from normal structure of introducing a person who is doing some interesting networking in Canada. I am going to focus on The Modern Networker.

The Modern Networker loves people and loves to network. But what does it mean to network? The Modern Networker does what she can to make the world a better place.
