CHAPTER 8
Networking:
the power of
people
N
etworking is a big thing – it’s more than meetings, more
than conferences, more than business cards and more
than suits. Networking is not an event, but a long-term
endeavour. Don’t think of networking as a way to get work;
think of networking as a way to make friends. Freelancers need
friends. You need friends for support, for sympathy, for advice,
for help and for making connections.
