The sole focus of WealthNet Partners, LLC is to help entrepreneurs create real wealth by providing a vast array of business development resources. When WealthNet was founded in 2002 I have to admit that finding the right name was a real struggle. My goal in this post is to share a bit of our story and explain what the “Net” in WealthNet means.

We started as Sterling Management Solutions, LLC which served it’s purpose for a while. But one day, as I was riding through the desert on one of my bikes doing some serious thinking about the business, the word WealthNet popped into my head. This was truly Divine Inspiration at it’s finest. I had been through a coaching certification program and needed to better define what the company was all about. And I wanted to find a new name for the company to take us to the next level.

It’s funny how things work. I had been searching for a new name and then, one day, it comes to me out of the blue. And it sure did resonate for many reasons. The name WealthNet is significant for two primary reasons. First, we believe that real wealth is created most often by entrepreneurs who start, fund and grow their own businesses. Second, real wealth through entrepreneurship can only be created by building a significant network of people who will support you in your effort to build your business. Ask any successful business owner about the importance of building a solid network and you will undoubtedly learn that it is essential to creating real wealth.

Hence, the “Net” in WealthNet is all about the power of building a network. In fact, if you look closely at the WealthNet Partners logo, the image at the top right section of the company name is a network itself. It represents the power of the “Net” in WealthNet. It represents the power of an ever expanding network. Our network. Your network. The Internet as a global network. Your employees as a network. Your business partners and associates as a network. And your community as a network. Each of these networks is entwined and impacting your success whether you know it or not.

In a simple sense, WealthNet clients immediately leverage our growing network of designers, website developers, and business development experts. We are constantly expanding our network and resources to help entrepreneurs. And if you are truly committed to building your business and creating real, sustainable wealth you need to take building your network very seriously.

Building a successful network requires discipline, focus and persistence like anything else. It requires that you focus on giving first. Helping others by putting them first. I call this living with a Servant’s Heart.

As a side note, I am headed shortly after writing this to a meeting that will hopefully finalize a new business partnership that will enable me to serve the world’s premier leads organization. And the success of this long-time business is all based on the power of networking. Assuming we can agree on the remaining terms of the partnership, my goal is to help hundreds and thousands of business owners and entrepreneurs leverage the true power of networking within their local community. To me, this is the single most import activity any business owner can embrace to grow.

Networking and growing a network is a fundamental principle of WealthNet Partners, LLC. Again, Divine Inspiration at it’s finest. For which I am eternally grateful.

As WealthNet continues to expand and work with entrepreneurs all over the world, please remember that the most powerful way to grow your business is to grow your network. Over the weeks ahead I plan to share many thoughts and tips regarding how to grow your business through networking. So please tell your friends about the WealthNet blog and contribute your thoughts and comments. We are always open to more contributors.

I am also interested in interviewing what I refer to as “power networkers” for upcoming posts, articles and a book I’ve been working on recently. So if you know anyone who you consider to be a “power networker” please tell them I’d love to meet and talk with them.
