Start 2023 Right!

Happy New Year! Are you ready for 2023?

Reflections on 2022.

In 2022 I failed to do much blogging, which was strange as I was busier than ever with networking and business development increasing to pre-pandemic levels once again. However, that might have been one of the reasons why I had limited time to dedicate to the blog.

Our most popular posts for 2022 were:

• Business Networking Goals & Objectives
• C is for… Coffee Roulette
• Quick Tip: Use LinkedIn Kudos to Say Thanks
• A Beginner’s Guide to Networking
• Cold, Warm and Hot Contacts

Making the most of 2023!

2023 we intend to be back with a refreshed outlook. The new year is (as always) a perfect opportunity to hit the refresh button. It is natural to feel a sense of excitement and motivation to make positive changes in our lives. Whether you’re looking to improve your health, career, or relationships, the start of a new year is a perfect opportunity to set goals and work towards achieving them.

One of the key factors in achieving our goals is having a clear plan and taking action. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of the new year and make grandiose resolutions, but it’s important to be realistic and break your goals down into smaller, achievable steps.

Another important aspect of goal setting is to track your progress. This can help you stay motivated and see how far you’ve come. Consider using a planner or journal to write down your goals and track your progress, or use a habit tracking app to keep you on track.

Give yourself a networking boost for 2023 and get the new year off to the right start with our networking resources and planners. Here is a reminder of what we currently have on offer:

Networking Planner

The Networking Planner is your complete networking planning solution and is aimed at people who attend one or two formal networking events a week.

It has approx. 450 pages and therefore has enough pages to last you all year. It is available in 3 cover options (as well as on Custom Order) and includes pages to plan out your goals, networking events, memberships, conferences, in-person and online networking etc for the year.

Networkit

Networkit is a networking strategy tool for professionals, business owners and entrepreneurs to help build your network and develop relationships. Treat yourself to a starter bundle of the Networkit Deck, Connection Cards and Stickers.

NTFB Template Library

Our Pocket Notebooks Collection includes:

So what is in store for 2023?

I personally love a new year. It gives you a fresh start. In 2023 we will continue to share Networking Tips and stories on the blog. As well as our regular blog posts we will also be:

• releasing an updated version of the Networking Planner.

• releasing a new sticker pack for our Networkit.

• taking part in the April A to Z Challenge once again (we hope).
