Future Week-day Jersey City meet ups are targeted to be in the downtown JC area around Grove Street, focusing on business development. Currently seeking a location for July.

Topic: How to utilize your community to build your practice and integrate yourself into an existing network. This is important for an employee, sole practitioner, and employers alike.

Make your purpose of Networking be to learn something important
You don’t have to recreate the wheel, research existing resources to help you along the way, or to jump off from
When networking, consider collaboration versus simply trading business cards
Widen your sources, who are you getting feedback from?
We learn from dialogue
When we don’t ask for help or delegate, it can communicate distrust or a lack of respect
Know when you are actively rejecting relevant and purposeful information <- Why?
Realize when you can let go of control in order to increase your quality of life, or overall quality of work
Become an expert in what you do, which translates into confidence
