After hours of banging my head against the desk on an issue I could not resolve. Light bulb! My user groups!

I am involved in community groups via Yahoo groups, Google groups and others. I am on three IT based boards/Task forces. I try to give knowledge wherever I can because I usually need way more back than I contribute.

Desperate and frustrated. I reached out to a few user groups. I got handed the answer to my client’s problem by a newsgroup friend. Funny enough…miles away from me. Spot on! Thank you!

I can only hope I have provided the same to someone else in the past!

Get involved. Give back. Join groups. Volunteer.

We are all smarter and better together.
