Hi there! I just finished attending a networking event at Technology Park next to Curtin University. I must say that these events are gold! Not that you can network and link up with so many businesses and companies, you learn so much about how businesses operate and how they go about achieving their goals. I met a bookkeeper who has a part time job and part time business. It was very interesting to see her view from a bookkeeping perspective. Coming from a very technical and IT background, bookkeeping, I must say is a whole new world to me. She was explaining how she used to work for many companies, but one company in particular, the boss made her go through reems of paper to find out why there was an error in the final amount. The difference in this amount was 1 CENT!!!! I found it quite funny, well, those who are reading this may not find it funny but after when you have a few glasses of red wine, by god, everyone you talk to is funny!
Tonight, I would consider, another successful night. Networking is a great form of advertising. Its also great to learn about other businesses and most importantly, helps you learn more about yourself and the way you communicate. I was able to link up with 2 businesses tonight which all were interested in having a chat about doing business together.
It never ceases to amaze me how many good people are out there in this world. A man I met tonight, he was around 23 years old was awarded “2006 WA Citizen of the Year, 2006 WA Young Person of the Year, 2005 Australian Young Biomedial Engineer of the Year” and he just opened his company in helping disabled individuals benefit from recreation.
Great night, free food, free alcohol, free advertising, met great people, learnt a whole lot, improved communication skills, all topped with a beer to celebrate 
Highly recommended!
