This is not the title of the topic that I am going to write here. It was raining for the past days in the late afternoon. Yesterday was the heaviest downpour as far as I’m concerned. Since I wasn’t involved in any training or appointment, together with my youngest son and daughter, we decided to go bowling.

It was a fruitful day for me as I managed to complete some errants before we ‘get down to business’. At about 4.30 pm, we reached SAFRA Yishun Bowl – it was raining. However, there was no available lanes. We were told that we have to wait for ‘quite sometimes’, for the lanes. We were a bit disappointed but refused to let this dampened our day which has been going smoothly as planned. We discussed and decided to ‘entertain’ ourselves at a games alley at North Point Shopping Centre.

We then decided to go to the library. As usual, I will proceed to my favorite section. I managed to find two books on Networking in general; namely Brilliant Networking and Networking for Career Success. Yes, its the title of the book that decorated my blog title for today.

Networking for Career Success was authored by Diane Darling who is the principal consultant for Effective Networking, Inc.

I’ve completed reading the book and found it good and effective. She put all the details in a simple formats divided into 24 lessons in a 48 pages book. It was easily understand and all recommendations or action plans she stated in the book, are executable. Diane Darling simply defined Networking as the art of building and sustaining mutually beneficial relationships where there is a worthwhile reason for all parties to participate. Networking happens everywhere; at home, at work, in our community, with everyone.

Effective networking is about getting what you need or want while helping others get what they want or need. This book provides you with the right skills for making mutually beneficial connections, knowing how to cultivate those connections for the benefit of everyone involved, and creating a classic and valuable win-win situation. So read the book if you want to know more.

For those who want to know all about Networking especially those who wish to be involved in network marketing industry, I highly recommend this book. You can also visit her website at www.effectivenetworking.com.
