If at first you don't succeed, Network - Network Again!
by DPM on 01/31/13So I headed off to Atlanta, GA the other day for a whirl wind trip to volunteer at the GA Music Foundation event. My job was to meet and greet... Count me in!! The who's who of GA Music was there. Everyone from Dallas Davidson, Luke Bryan, Zac Brown, all the way to Ludacris and Gov. Deal. I made a lot of good contacts and shook a lot of important hands. Now comes that task of connecting the dots and making them all line up so that they draw a pretty picture.
Networking is very important. Let me state that again... Networking is very important! It is the key to success. If you are not doing that as part of your day to day duties, well then you aren't getting anywhere fast. Of course you have to be good at what you do, but if no one knows what you are doing, how do you expect to get anywhere.
One of the hands that I shook the other day was a lady that is very important in the GA Music Scene. Once we went through our formal introductions, I found out that she is originally from the same small town that I currently live in. Guess what that makes? An instant connection. Always try to connect the dots. Always try to learn. Always try to connect with others that are in your field. Always be Networking!
Until next time...
Daniel
