  • Kevin and Karen, Thanks for reading and your comments. Sometimes the old fashioned way is the best way - the trick is knowing when to use the old vs. the new. Both can work effectively as long as we don't use either to avoid truly connecting.

  • Alana, what a great story. I'm really happy that your bank and banker were there for you when you needed them. Planting the seeds early can make all the difference in the world. Creating a keeping a strong bank relationship must be the responsibility of both the bank and the owner. Your story is a great reminder of that. Thanks for your post.

  • Diana,

    Thanks for the great article. I have spent a lot more time recently using and understanding LinkedIn. It is a great networking tool and easy to use. I especially like your comment about posting my LinkedIn profile badge to my blog and website. A simple idea, but a duh! moment for me. (By the way, I highly recommend you personalize your profile link with you name in it instead of the generic link you are assigned when you sign up.)

    Another feature I like is the book review add-in where you can recommend books you have read and people can follow what you recommend. Just another way to create a connection.

    I've worked on my profile many times and keep tweaking it. I'll use your advise to go back and work on it some more. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

    Thanks again. Dennis http://www.linkedin.com/in/denniskelley

  • Charlene, thanks for a great article. I've heard about Twitter from so many sources but never really understood what it's all about. Just haven't been able to figure out how to use it to effectively support my business. It seems you could easily spend hours a day on all the social media programs available. Your artilce helped to put this particular one into perspective for me.

    I think your advice just to give it a try and test it is the best advice for me. I'm big on testing and measuring as a business strategy, so I'll give it a go. Thanks for the information.

  • Thanks for the comment Kate. You are absolutely right. Wealth may come from the lottery but it will be short term unless you really understand what it means to be successful. This was somewhat 'tongue in cheek' but your point is well taken.
