This year has been a truly amazing experience from the aspect of networking and the power that it brings.

My involvement with the Working Women’s Network has been very rewarding, giving me opportunities to meet fantastic business women, amazing and inspirational speakers, an opportunity to express my thoughts and the ability to build connections in the media.

Those of you who have read my blog before have been regaled with my stories of the power of Twitter, an amazing global network that has given me access to some of the most incredible and influential business people here and overseas.

An extension of the Twitter network has been the amazing real life connections that I have made through attending Northside Coffee Mornings (#nscm) in Mosman, which has introduced me to people who have made a significant difference to my approach to business, even in such a short time.

But, perhaps one of the biggest things I will take away from my networking this year is the unbelievable generosity and instant spirit of community that my network connections have shown, both when I organised the official launch of the Project 18 website and when Iggy Pintado sent an urgent Christmas request to help make the lives of 15 women at The Stepping Stone crisis centre.

I have been moved to tears on more than one occasion to see that community spirit is definitely alive and well amongst small business owners in Australia. It is so fantastic to see that networking brings people together, not just for business, but for the good of others as well.

The working year is now officially over and I’m rewarding myself with a ‘proper’ break for once, followed by some serious planning time for 2010. This year has been amazingly rewarding, both for the growth of my business and me personally. And, having seen many of my business associates experiencing a similar story, it is encouraging for a successful year next year.

I’d like to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and New Year holiday period and hope that you have a safe, happy and prosperous 2010. And, I’m looking forward to seeing you at the fabulous events and workshops that are lined up for Working Women’s Network members and guests next year, starting with a great Business View Panel in February and a fantastic Networking event with Robyn Henderson and Iggy Pintado to catapult yourself into successful networking for 2010.

Until next time.
