I believe I have made the point of speaking about networking in my blog and how it can be used to great advantage. Networking can link you with people of experience, with people with capital, or with people who run the services that you might need. These people can also serve as examples for the budding entrepreneur to learn some good business strategies and tactics. Many times these people are called influencers, as they can affect how your small business operates. The top men and women in small business influencing people were listed on a website that I stumbled across and the list can be found here.
An influencer doesn't have to be another small business owner, he/she just has to be someone who positively affects the small business environment. This could include government officials, academics, journalists, or even lowly hourly employees.
This article has many top business leaders, but none more prominent in my opinion then John T. Hewitt. Hewitt started two of the worlds three biggest tax consulting companies. With 42 years of experience, Mr. Hewitt has assisted countless small businesses in finding tax breaks in order to increase their revenue stream. He has been named in Accounting Today as most influential person... 10 times! He has assisted over 3000 franchisees in making affordable and attainable financial goals. He is by far one of the most useful influential people to know when consulting tax issues with your business. He is just one example among many of useful contacts for the budding entrepreneur.
