Networking provides many businesses with not just valuable leads and contacts, but sometimes something a little bit special can happen...magical some may say.

How? Well, for many of us business owners we spend a large proportion of our working days fire fighting and making things happen, this alone brings a catalogue of headaches, pains in the business bum and not to mention silly levels of stress.

However, once you put a business owner within a networking environment something very magical takes place .The day to day worries slip away, the financial juggling side steps and the fire fighting tasks go caput, and businesses start to talk positively about their activities, their roles and there general love of what they do.

We all know that positivity breeds positivity; recently at one of our partner’s events our ‘something very special’ theory was blatantly happening. One of our members had shared with me that they had been facing some very tough times and were unsure that they would even make it to the day payroll run; which I’m sure you can appreciate was a horrible thing to hear and face.

This said member was at her wits end, but in spite of this still undertook her networking duties and along she went. Now within around fifteen minutes this very magical thing happened; no longer was she pulling her hair out, ready to burst into tears or snap the head of the nearest person , she was smiling, very positive and gushing about her plans for the next six months.

Now bear in mind this lady was literally about to jack the whole business in only hours earlier; but wait for it, it actually gets better...

A couple of days later we received a call at MNPA HQ from our member, who explained that  a guy she’d spoken to at the event had decided to use her graphic design agency on a retainer for the next six months and work on it would start very soon.

So folk’s networking does provide valuable leads and contacts, but it also has that special something giving business owners the chance to shine and add that extra bit of sparkle to their somewhat hectic and very testing business lives. With many businesses going under these days and struggling, here at MNPA HQ we can only say that networking is indeed a little bit magical.
