Week 5 EOC: Progress towards my Four Professional Contacts and Progress on Networking

Week 5 EOC: Progress towards my Four Professional Contacts and Progress on Networking
My first objective was to find all my professional contacts which had the minimum driving distance using Google search.  Once I found them, I mapped out my route.  I started with my bank.  I went to Bank of America and found a small business/ mortgage specialist right away.  I didn’t even have to ask to see someone or ask for a card.  All their cards were out for the taking on the greeting desk.  Once I got my bank card, I head for my Attorney card, their office is on West Tropicana between 215 and Durango.  When I pulled in, I noticed there were a lot of small offices.  In this one location I found all my contacts.  I didn’t talk to talk to any of them.  All I did was walk in and ask for their business cards and they handed me one.  It was that easy.  Because of this one location saved me gas and mileage.
My progress on Networking is a constant effort.  I showed up at Blue Agency were Rusty Myers (local Actor) hold a get together for film makers every month on the last Thursday of the month at 7:00.  Last time his students perform a few short skits.   Unfortunately he has moved to on Wednesday and I wasn’t told.  I will be going to the Dam Short Film Festival this weekend Feb 9-11 in Boulder City.  I never was to one before so I am looking forward to it.
