1. Replaces your weakness with strength. With Facebook, Linkden, Twitter, etc we can connect with people of like interests and get input into any type of information we seek. We can develop long term relationships as well. Join the group that has the experts you need.
2. Provides immediate feedback so you don’t have to make needless mistakes. Your network can identify what’s unclear or confusing or simply wrong. Your network can be your sounding board to learn what works and what doesn’t.
3. People in your network can lead you to people in their network. Other people might have leads or know people that can help tackle your particular need. People are usually quick to help if they realize that you value their opinion.
4. A network can help you any place in the world. How many people in your network live out of the country? We are in tune into our little world and people living on another continent might have a different perspective on things. Colleges and universities have students from all over the world. A good place to network and meet new people.
5. A network can provide you with new experiences and knowledge. You will find that people have diverse interests and you become exposed to new ideas, businesses, hobbies, etc. You are expanding your life experiences.

Jacques,
Those five things are very powerful. We all need sounding boards sometimes. It is good to have it with people that you can trust. Thank you for this good information.

Hi Jacques .. having an online community is great too - they can provide thoughts on the same wave length, perhaps not bringing negativity into your space .. so your thoughts are going forward, not being held back.
I really like the camaraderie we get from friends .. either I've met and/or have got to know just by being on the internet in social media.
Thanks .. Hilary Melton-Butcher
