When we start a business it’s important to remember - this is just the beginning. Growing it requires building strong relationships within your industry. When I started Sobe Kreative, I quickly realized the importance of networking and connecting with other entrepreneurs and professionals.Â
Networking can open doors to new opportunities, partnerships, and collaborations that can propel your business forward. One of the best ways to start is by joining industry-specific groups and attending networking events, both online and offline.
Sobe Kreative was launched during the pandemic, which made in-person networking events impossible. However, online networking opportunities grew in necessity and changed the way we connect and learn as business owners. Wix was one of those platforms that offered live online events chock-full of resources and guidance for Web designers. Another platform that proved invaluable was Hubspot. Their targeted online course not only fueled my knowledge as a business owner, but I was able to target some of my learning for Marketing and Social Networking and to participate in live online forums. These outlets opened doors for virtual connections to be made. Business owners in my field shared advice and provided support, all while they were learning themselves.Â
As the world has opened back up, we have the opportunity now, along with online options, to connect in person, an opportunity of which we all can take advantage. This could look like Expos, TED talks, conferences, or in-person entrepreneurial classes. However, you can source resources, to foster connections that will be beneficial to the growth of yourself and your business - Go for it!
Remember, success in business is not just about what you know, but who you know. Invest time in building and nurturing your professional relationships, and you’ll create a supportive network that can help your business thrive.
