Or is that, Away Networking? Yes, I've been out networking a ton lately. I think it's paying off, but at the same time I haven't been able to write anything even remotely interesting in the last couple of weeks. I miss it! But here are some highlights:
Entrepreneur's Entourage is a neat company I discovered last Monday at the West Conshohocken trade show. I went to their happy hour on Friday, and it was chill. I appreciate chill. Networking is almost never chill. But these ladies do some cool stuff, and they share lots of great ideas. I showed up after 5pm, and they were still coworking. This is their monthly afternoon of sharing ideas and gettin stuff done. That's my understanding anyway. I think I'll join them on November 19th for their next Coworking event and happy hour. Maybe by then I'll have followed some of their advice and read something on their reading list. I especially liked their blog post about getting away for a couple days to focus on business!
Last Monday I met up with a new friend at a business to business trade show at the Marriott in West Conshy. That's where I met Emily from Entrepreneur's Entourage, and some other interesting business peeps. It was way smaller than my contact, Bob, had expected, but I had the advantage of having no expectations. haha. So perhaps I'll get a chance to use some of those contacts sometime. Most likely I'll be in touch with Intelligent Homes and Sounds. They were the second most memorable conversation I had.
Before that there was Business After Business at the new Residences at Palmer Square in Princeton. I had a good time and saw lots of people I know. I didn't win anything this month, however. We'll not get into what I thought of the architecture. I did get a nice tour of the neighbor's house, etc. But I spent so much time getting in touch with people before and after this event that I didn't even catch my breath until last Thursday.
Now I'm hoping to follow up on advice I've gotten at all three events, and I bet it'll be many hours of reading and writing emails. At some point I still plan to discuss my new shade device for the chicken cage, but all that sewing takes a while so no rush. Oh, and developments on the tech side of business this week hopefully will include new project management software and time tracking software. It's already too late to use for my new Princeton project, but hopefully next time. Gotta boogie.
