Networking Tip: You’re There to Give Not Take

      All too often, entrepreneurs go into a networking event thinking it’s their one shot to get X, Y or Z. By setting the stakes so high, you suck all the fun out of the event and put an inordinate amount of pressure on your shoulders.  Change your mindset. You’re not there to get. Instead, you’re there to contribute to the event, help others or just learn what other professionals are doing. This little change in thinking will boost your sense of purpose and self-worth and erase that overwhelming pressure. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself having a good time, developing strong relationships and attracting loads of referrals.  Submitted by Edeline Francois-Dryden, Licensee for JOC/Woodstock and CEO/Founder of Dryden Tax & Accounting Services
