We sometimes get frustrated waiting for business to happen, especially when we spend a lot of time networking at the Chamber and other business organizations. It's often said that "patience is a virtue," and sometimes we just have to be patient for good things to happen. Let me give you a case in point. Our company has been a Chamber member for over 10 years, and during that time we've made a lot of connections with prospective customers and business associates. A few years ago, in a casual conversation at a Chamber event, one of our longtime business associates asked if we'd be a sub-contractor on a project they'd just landed with a new client in Pennsylvania. We agreed to help them, completed our piece of the marketing project, and ended up with a new customer relationship in a new industry! We'd built a relationship with this Chamber member over the years, and the connection paid off in the long run.
