As a business professional, you need a constant supply of information to achieve success.
You must stay aware of trends and issues and keep up with rapid economic and technological changes to become and stay competitive.
You may have already discovered that it’s next to impossible to keep up with all this information on your own. There is simply too much of it.
Fortunately, the knowledge you lack is always someone else’s specialty, so you can turn to others for help.
There are usually at least a few people who can help you deal with certain issues or special problems that you may encounter in the business or profession you are in or are interested in entering.
In lieu of specific knowledge, you must know in advance whom to contact and where to go to get the information you need.
When you’ve identified your most important contacts, start connecting with these people to enhance and improve your knowledge network.
As you do this, your network and the information you need to build your business will expand and grow.
