When I first sat down to write this blog, I must admit that I was stumped. What could I write about that would be both interesting and beneficial to my readers? After much thought, one term jumped to my mind – networking.Networking has two main definitions. The first, and most common, is “the act of meeting new people in a business context.” The second, and most applicable to this blog, is “the act of working using a computer network, the act of connecting computers into a network.”Everyone networks. Be it the difficult customer that always calls work, or Facebook accounts that put ones best face foward, nearly every encounter with the public could be a networking opportunity.
As a new business owner, I searched for some networking opportunities online. I wanted both information and support. That way if I ran across something I did not understand in my business I could ask someone or at the very least have people supporting me in my search. I found in my searches for groups to join a couple neat groups on Yahoo, "Powerful_Eneprenuer" and TheMomPack Group. Both of these group deal with women and their businesses. These sites offer support, ideas and networking. There is no selling – we all have our own businesses after all. These groups are just to help one along the way to a better business.

If you're in business for yourself and would like to check these groups out I recommend that you do. Go under the Yahoo Group Link and business and finance group heading. Both of these groups are geared toward women, however, there are many available for both genders as well. Here are the links if you would like to take a peek now... http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/powerful_entrepreneur/ or http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/themompack/
You won't be sorry to check these groups out. Happy Business-ing!
