At the Oklahoma Governor’s Conference on Small Business, Larry Mocha gave a couple of pieces of pointed networking advice.

| Vikki Dearing from the Oklahoma Department of Commerce is a long time friend, and Tara Fiechtl from CareerTech was a new friend from the conference. |
You know how it is at conferences; we always gravitate towards the people we already know.
“You’re not going to meet anyone new if you just stay comfortable,” Larry Mocha said.
“Even if you think YOU don’t need to meet new people, there are people out there who need to meet you!”
Too often, we’re busy thinking about ourselves. We know everyone here, or we think we do. That may just mean that we owe some amount of debt to those who have helped us along in the past. Maybe it’s time to pay it forward by making ourselves open to those who need to meet us.
