Editor's Note
Abraham Lincoln is reported to have once said 'things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle' (well, it was either him or the rapper 50 Cent). What I think Lincoln/Mr Cent was talking about was the art of effective networking.If you don't put yourself out there, no one will know you exist. People will only do business with people they know and trust, but how can you make this happen? This week, Mark Lee talks to networking strategist Andy Lopata to find out why networking demands a strategic approach.
Unfortunately, both Lincoln and 50 Cent were shot (although the latter survived to rap another day), which brings me rather tenuously to Simon Sweetman's rather bold assertion: let's shoot all the bankers. It's a suggestion that has been bandied about a lot, but are there any other practical measures that can be taken to extricate ourselves from the current mess we're in? Feel free to share your thoughts at the end of the article.
Until next week,
