If everybody can stand it just one
more time, I'm going to invoke the
"N" word. Although networking may
strike you as being way off the topic of
building and remodeling, the time I
spend sharing business and technical

as valuable as anything I do as a
remodeler. In fact, between formal
groups—I belong to three—and informal
interchanges, I spend an average
of an hour a day and quite a few hours
a week comparing notes.
You can network in groups or individually
with friends, colleagues, suppliers,
competitors, and subs. The topics
can include everything from
business—sales, marketing, finance,
and management—to technical areas.
