Networking…The Key to Success

Networking is the ultimate key to success in business. I completely agree with what was said in class. If you don’t have any networking experience in the industry you wish to pursue a career in, you have no right to be working in it. The majority of my knowledge I have consumed about Finance has not come from college, but has come from workers from within the industry. Setting up informational interviews as well as obtaining an internship, and establishing contacts within the industry has helped me excel at a faster rate. Creating “networks” within an industry leads to endless amounts of opportunities. From my positive and successful networking within the financial industry, I have now opened my eyes to networking with entrepreneurs. I have recently within the last few months came up with a golf website that I feel has a major upside to it and I am currently networking and learning about how to grow this idea from an “idea” to a reality. Just speaking with entrepreneurs within the computer industry has helped me more than anything. I plan on conducting more informational interviews within the industry to gain more knowledge and more insight about how to grow a successful company.
