So the last time I was fortunate enough to have a successful networking experience was actually very recent.
I was at a benefit about a month ago with a bunch of family and friends in my neighborhood. I began speaking to a old basketball coach of mine from the 5th and 6th grade and telling him about school and my current job here at SHM. I also went into telling him how I started up my own landscaping business on the side just trying to earn a few extra bucks.
Since that conversation I have two additional properties. The one being his lawn, and the other is his neighbor a couple houses down.
I look back on that conversation and if I didn't put the time in to actually say hello, and see whats new in my coach's life, then I wouldn't have those two additional lawns.
