I dont't have a marketing background either (but am catching up very quickly running a business), network without agenda but with the expectation of meeting new people, new ideas, new business opportunities. And that 'agenda' seems to work fine for me. Tammy, with all networking it works best when you stay yourself I found.

You say that your marketing background got in the way, made it hard to adjust to doing some networking without an agenda, without expectations. The latter comes easily to me...but I network this way to a fault. My lack of marketing background gets in MY way. I know I've too often been on the receiving end of people who came on with a hard sell, who wear their agendas like lapel pins. And I've gone to the opposite extreme, I think, in my effort to not be like them. I have the opposite problem of you when it comes to networking.

I don't claim to be the final word on leadership, but it certainly is a subject that needs to be brought up for discussion. I'll see what I can do to up my blogging - light this week with the holidays. And, I'm meeting lots of new electronic buddies - the Purple Curve sounds very interesting.

And rightfully so, Francie questions why people say blogging will peak in 2007 when so many people she talks to don’t even get it yet. I don’t know when blogging will peak. Who cares? It’s fun. It works. [...] [...] Francie Stirling learned that she’s behind the curve when it comes to blogging but catching up fast.
