Make time for networking

I attended the Mega Mixer last night at Marriott that was hosted by 13 of the areas chambers. Not only did I make some good connections, but I was able to chat with people I have not seen in years. One consultant I saw was a client of mine 5 years ago after she left the corporate world to pursue a balanced life that included time for her family.

It has been a tough economy, but resilience pays off. Today's entrepreneur needs to be flexible, creative, resourceful and bounce back quickly. It was pleased to see so many familiar faces last night. Rochester really is a good place to do business.

If you haven't been out lately, take a look at our events calender on http://www.fingerlakes.natbic.org/ and find a networking event to attend. It is good to be seen!
