What have you done in the last few months to strengthen your professional network?

"Networking is a huge component of gaining business, so I'm active in the online consultants' community. I recently started a LinkedIn group for Management Consultants in my city, and we will have our first meetup next month. I have also joined a consultants mastermind, where we meet once every quarter to share tools and resources and read up on client success stories, and I plan to keep focused on these activities in years to come."

"I am very focused on building my professional network. I am a big fan of traveling as a tax write-off, from Paris to Dubai, and I make every effort to attend every conference, tradeshow, and convention I can. For the past six months, I have also enjoyed membership at the local Chamber of Commerce."
