When I was in the USA, I was a member of many networking groups. Not only did they provide me with leads that I earned a substantial profit from, but I made trusted partnerships with local businesses. It also helped me stay sharp, and continue to be motivated by surrounding myself with like minded people.
Now I am living in Ningbo, and I am organizing this group as a collaboration of all the positive elements from the groups I attended in the USA. I see a great need for this type of collaboration in china. Growth here is so great that we cannot overlook the fact that we are still a community.
I wanted to create a community of our own, where we all can communicate in English and feel comfortable to ask questions and help each other.
