Having a quality network is just not about business as the last couple of weeks has demonstrated massively for Asentiv Merseyside. This week we have moved into our new office. A truly exciting time for any business.
One thing that became apparent during the process of purchasing and furnishing the office is how my network has supported me in so many ways. Firstly and rather amazingly an Asentiv client has moved in with me. This has enabled us to now have a presence in the City centre and have our own delivery and work space for our respective businesses.
We can support, collaborate grow and develop our businesses together.
Secondly the way our respective networks have supported us has been amazing. They have helped with sourcing and moving furniture for the office as well as sending us lots of good will and lovely messages of support.
Too often in business people view their network purely as a way to generate business, while you can obviously generate business from your network, you should never overlook the other benefits a well formed network provides such as, support, knowledge, and varied resources.
The other side to this is of course, this only happened because of the time and effort my office partner and I invested in helping our networks with our time knowledge and resources. This truly is the World of reciprocity in action and as Zig Ziglar famously said “Help enough people get what they want and you will truly get what you want”
