It looks as though Lisa Schulz of Women Wine and Wellness has got herself a great idea. Business networking for women and helping them realize their dreams is Schulz’s passion, one that she’s become very good at. And for women near the South Metro Denver area, this is a great thing. For those that aren’t near there... I guess you’re out of luck.
Which brings up a very good point. Are there any ideas out there that cannot be spread nationally? Or internationally? Is there really a business that must stay local to work? No, not even handcrafted ottomans made by one man in a tiny shop in South Dakota should stay local. Obviously he can sell them online, post pictures of completed pieces, future projects, how-to videos, take commissions, and even organize tours for the really motivated ottoman lover.
And Schulz with her networking for women idea is confined to one part of one city? I can’t believe it! Perhaps the article didn’t mention online courses, or weekly conference calls, or branch locations in other cities with nightly meetings that have video conference linkups. I hope networking and communication tools like these were simply overlooked in the article, because this is an idea made for sharing across the globe. This “networking” idea was made for conferencing.
Does anyone out there have a business, or part of a business that they truly feel cannot receive benefits from conferencing? Tell us about it in a comment, but check back for ideas from everyone on how it can be done.
