The Power of Peers
Contributed by David Cumming, the CEO of Hannon Hill Corporation, located in Atlanta, Georgia.
As entrepreneurs, we’re always so busy forging new relationships with partners and clients that we tend to forget one of the most priceless opportunities: peer-to-peer networking. There is a wealth of knowledge within the entrepreneurial community, and all it takes is a one-on-one meeting to realize that all of the business answers we seek could potentially come from our peers. I came to this realization some time ago, and have since made it a point to proactively involve myself in the lives of fellow entrepreneurs.
How do I do this? It’s simple: I invite them to lunch.
