The Power of Networking: Strategies for Building Valuable Connections
August 24, 2023 in Business
In the modern business world, success often hinges on the ability to create, maintain, and utilize relationships both within and outside your industry. Networking, which involves forming and fostering these connections, is a critical aspect of professional growth and business development. This article will delve into the importance of networking and provide you with some practical strategies for building valuable connections.
Understanding the Importance of Networking
Networking is the process of interacting with others to exchange information and develop professional or social contacts. But why is it so critical in the business world?
- Opportunity Creation: Networking often leads to opportunities you may not have found otherwise, such as partnerships, sales leads, or even job openings.
- Knowledge Expansion: Networking allows you to learn from others’ experiences and insights. It can provide you with new perspectives and ideas that you might not have considered.
- Increased Visibility: Regular networking ensures that you and your business stay visible within your industry. It allows you to showcase your expertise and value to key influencers and decision-makers.
- Relationship Building: Networking enables you to build relationships with others who can help you professionally. Over time, these connections can become a supportive network that you can turn to for advice or assistance.
Strategies for Effective Networking
Now that we understand why networking is important, let’s delve into some strategies that can help you network more effectively.
Online Networking
In today’s digital age, online networking has become incredibly important. Here are a few tips to network effectively online:
- Utilize Social Media: LinkedIn, Twitter, and even Instagram can be powerful networking tools. Regularly post updates and engage with others’ posts to stay visible.
- Join Online Groups: Participate in online forums, Facebook groups, and LinkedIn groups related to your industry. This can help you connect with like-minded individuals.
- Webinars and Online Events: Attend online conferences, webinars, and virtual networking events. These can provide opportunities to connect with other professionals in your field.
Offline Networking
While online networking has its advantages, don’t neglect the power of face-to-face interactions. Here are a few strategies:
- Attend Industry Events: Conferences, seminars, and industry meetups are excellent places to meet new people and build relationships.
- Join Local Business Groups: Local business groups and clubs provide regular networking opportunities.
- Volunteer: Volunteering your time or skills to industry events or community causes can help you meet people and showcase your values and abilities.
Maintaining and Leveraging Connections
Building connections is only half the battle. Here’s how to maintain and leverage them:
- Follow Up: After meeting someone new, follow up with them. A simple email expressing how nice it was to meet them can go a long way in fostering the relationship.
- Stay in Touch: Regularly check in with your connections. Share relevant articles, congratulate them on professional achievements, or simply catch up.
- Offer Value: Networking is a two-way street. Ensure that you’re offering value to your connections, not just taking from them.
Networking is a skill that can be honed over time. As you continue to build and foster connections, you’ll likely find that your network becomes one of your most valuable business assets. Remember, the power of networking lies not just in the number of connections you have, but the relationships you build and the value you provide to each other.

New Livable Forest Vendor- Pur Noire Wines
August 21, 2023 in Business, Community News, New Vendor Alert






In 2014, Carissa and Kenneth Stephens discovered a love for wine, especially intrigued by minority-owned wine brands. A trip to Italy in 2015 deepened their passion, with the Venetian atmosphere and Tuscan landscape heightening their appreciation for Barolo and Chianti Classico.
A disappointing venture into a luxury wine club in 2017 nearly led them away from the wine industry. But, in 2019, they chose to launch their own brand, Pur Noire, to combine high-quality wine with unique experiences.
Though the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted their initial launch plan in March 2020, the couple pivoted to a virtual event, nearly selling out their proprietary Red Blend within their first three months. Despite the pandemic’s limitations, the quality of the wine received acclaim.
November 2021 saw the opening of Houston’s first Black-owned winery and tasting room by Pur Noire, earning praise and major press coverage. Since then, the portfolio has expanded to nine wines, winning numerous awards and even earning Pur Noire the Innovator of the Year Award from HUE Society in 2022.
Persistent and committed to excellence, Pur Noire has grown sustainably, now shipping their award-winning wines to 42 states. The brand continues to thrive, representing Houston’s first Black-Owned winery and tasting room. Enjoy Pur Noire today!

New Livable Forest Vendor- Granny’s Tamales LLC
August 21, 2023 in Business, Community News, New Vendor Alert
Granny’s Tamales Houston, a family-run chain of stores, has turned a cherished recipe into a national sensation. The ‘original’ Granny, Juanita Gonzalez, crafted the mouth-watering recipe in the 1990s and only shared it within the family.
Juanita and her husband Robert ignited this tamale trend with their first shop in Corpus Christi over two decades ago. Their son Daniel and his wife Tina have since expanded the business, opening locations in Humble, and adding two more. Married for over 35 years, the couple’s two children also contribute to the family enterprise.
Tina, who left a lucrative sales career to fully commit to the rapidly growing business, credits their success to divine guidance, hard work, and perseverance. The journey, filled with long hours and challenges, began with only two part-time employees but has since grown to include a fleet of full-time staff and daily delivery routes.
Granny’s Tamales Houston has even been recognized as one of the top 10 Tamales in the city by Fox 26 News. Their stores offer more than a dozen gourmet varieties, including six vegetarian options, all cooked in Humble. Each order comes with their signature red or green sauce, making them a far cry from ordinary grocery store or restaurant tamales.
