I just finished reading this post on Entrepreneur, and I think there’s something in here for almost everyone.

In the Niagara Region, what do you think are the most important points to take away from this article? Is there anything specific to our little corner of the world?

100 Ways to Be a Better Entrepreneur

I was thinking about the goals of the Niagara Networkers group, when a thought struck me about its operation and formation that brought a smile to my face.

The members of this group understand how open source software works because I’ve put the same principles to work in the networking group.

• The group identified an itch.
• They decided the itch was enough of a concern to actually do something about it.
• The group is pooling resources and talent to scratch the itch.
• The idea is free in the sense that there are no barriers to other people in other areas doing the same thing.

this group is no longer meeting at the moment.

Well, the Niagara Networkers had their second official meeting, and it was just as well attended as the first. We’re making some real progress here and everyone is excited about the potential.

If you’re new to the idea, as most people will be, you can find the details here. It’s a local business networking group that a bunch of us have started to help one another generate business in a more cooperative and collaborative spirit.
