Today we’re talking about the importance of learning how to network in midlife with Nefateria Fonda.
Nefateria Fonda is Certified Business and Sales Coach and PRESIDENT of Go Get It, Inc. She’s also an Author and Speaker specializing in helping new parallel-preneurs. Parallel-preneurs are professionals who are building a service-based business while they are working. Nef helps them get clear on who they serve and how they serve them.

New marketing tricks come and go, but networking stands the test of time and is something that you can get better at it. It’s just relationship building. But it does take practice.
So, are you squirming yet? Is networking a concept that turns you off and has you full of discomfort? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. But don’t miss this interview because it can really help you. It’s a good one! Enjoy!
