Everything we do is through networking. Whether you are looking for a J-O-B, offering a service or building a
business pretty much everything involves networking. I’m always invited to
networking events, I don’t really go to too many but just yesterday I went to
a networking event that I was invited to. I am so glad I went, it was a full
house. So many great things I learned & great things will happen because of
this One networking event. First, let me start with the company that invited me
to the event. I found this company back in May through craigslist. Through this
company I was able to promote my Motives business with my own booth at the Miami Beach Beauty Show this
past May. Best of all I didn’t pay $1000 for the booth I paid a $60 for a transaction
fee thanks to the United Chamber Exchange. Cool huh? I got an instant credit line of what
is called trade dollars & I paid for my booth with trade dollars. When I first heard the idea I couldn’t
believe it but sure enough it was legit I got my booth & participated in the show. So
now I’m a member to the United Chamber Exchange & I get these perks. They just opened up
an office in North Miami & they hosted this networking event just to expose
their services and open up to the community about trading. I know it’s a little
confusing but I think the idea is ingenious, I love it! I keep saying to myself that this
is better than the lottery ;). The offices are fantastic it’s a great location
with that warehouse midtown look, concrete floors, great space with an art
gallery feel. I loved the place & the girls I invited also were impressed
with the place.
The event was already going great, then I ran into a friend I
haven’t seen or heard of in over 20 years! The last time I saw her I was 19....that was a LONG time ago. Can you believe it??? OMG it was like a Kodak
moment. She recognized me I would of never recognized her I thought she would of been still 15. I’m soo excited that I found her
just like that. Just the other day I thought about her & wondered wow
whatever happened to that little girl Anacelis. Anacelis is a grown woman just
like me I was shocked. Isn’t that funny to run into someone after so many years
& too see that they too got older lol. Duh right I’m such a dummy of course
everything is happening simultaneously. Anyway the moral of the story is really that networking is fantastic. I’m
so excited about the United Chamber Exchange membership because I believe that this
network of business people is really going to boost my business & I ran
into a long lost friend that I will be hanging out with this weekend so we can
talk about soooo many things. So networking is really important!
