Let's start off 2010 with learning how to effectively network! I have heard many comments from members of our group about how networking does, or doesn't work for them and their business. Well it seems to be a perfect time to learn how to effectively network while growing your business in 2010.

Our guest speaker, Daphna Hernandez from Life Coaching Masters will discuss how to effectively network and grow your business. It's not just a matter of going to a mixer and handing out business cards to every person standing in the room. It's not a quantity game, it is a quality game. Come and learn effective techniques to find real potential clients and leads, and how to use networking to expand your business - not just your Rolodex.

Interactive! Let's make this meet up useful for you! Daphna would like to address specific issues that you may have about networking. You can help make this a great meet up by emailing me questions, issues or problems you have concerning networking. Why do you feel you have not had any new business by networking? What is it about networking that drives you crazy? What makes networking difficult for you? What information would help you become a more effective "networker"? Email your comments or thoughts about networking and I will forward these to our guest speaker so she can address these in her presentation for you. Email me at info@freelancerforum.net and together we can make this meet up matter to you!

When: Sunday January 10th, 3 pm

Location: Blankspaces on Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles
