EXPERT ADVICE
Your personal reputation in your industry is something you need to continue to grow and widen the base of people who know you. I can tell you from my own past experience that networking with my industry colleagues, many of which are my competitors has always proved to be valuable. In many instances my competitors have referred business to me that they could not handle or on occasion felt nervous knowing I was competing for the same piece of business. Your personal reputation is something that will stay with you forever, so practice your own personal brand and talk with everyone that you can.
