Living In A Bubble... go on Burst It!

It was the extreme festival down near the beach last weekend. Rock climbing, street running and a skateboard competition on the halfpipe. Lots of active people all trying out new sports and activities.

Lottie wanted to try Zorbing, so we put her into a big plastic bubble. When we asked how it was afterwards she said it was fun and that although she could see out and see everything it was quiet in there and she could not really hear us.

How many times is your business like living in a bubble?

Sitting behind your computer screen waiting for your business to grow and happen. On-line skills are really important to establish yourself and provide a platform for people to know, like and trust you. But sometimes it is like living in a bubble.

It is also really important to get out and network and meet people face to face. Even when you do go out there might be lots of activity going on around you, just like when Lottie was in the Zorb, but can you hear what they are saying. What are their wants and needs? Are you listening to the people you are networking wth or just telling your own story.

One way of connecting face to face with active, positive people is via networking groups.

The newest kid on the block in the UK is 4networking.They have over 200 venues throughout the country and each fortnightly meeting is full of people looking to share ideas and connect.
