Alternative Places to Network

Rosalind Resnick, founder ofAxxess Business Consulting(and a contributor to Entrepreneur magazine) may not have scaled mountains, but the working mom, who works and lives in New YorkCity, is on the John Hopkins University undergraduate advisory board, and owns asecond home in Long Island, is a globetrotter on a weekly basis. 

"A lot of the best contacts I meet have been with the person sitting in the seat next to me," Resnick says. "Think about it--if you're on a business trip, flying from New York to Chicago or to LA, chances are that most of the other people on the plane are probably going to be business travelers as well."

In fact, Resnick doesn't let a moment go by when she's not scanning her surroundings and the potential peers around her.

"You might think you're getting on that plane to fly to a conference in San Francisco," she says.
