Life Support Network

3:00

Here's an idea you can implement with your circle of friends and acquaintances.

You can create a form to fill out, like the one HERE.

The minute a person in your network of contacts fills out that form, you can then refer the right expert or service provider (also in your network) to the person who needs the expertise or service.

This is a services-oriented process. It's more than networking.

Linkedin.com, for example, is networking. A lot of people might be in your network, but they never meet each other. They never interact with one another. That's quite a boring party!

With the form above, any person in your network that has a particular need, can be helped by another person in your network who has the expertise or who offers the service.

This idea is quite brilliant, I know. So now, I'm going to prepare myself a well-deserved hot chocolate!
