Hear expert business advice from social networking guru Penny Power, Founder of Ecademy. In this business tv show, she speaks candidly about this collaborative business approach serves so many companies so well, and explains how social networking can be of great help to them as they do it:

"Well I've watched these businesses in Ecademy and I suppose for a, to a certain I've taken for granted what an Ecademy business member is and it wasn't until recently somebody recently highlighted to me the difference between Ecademy's network and other networks that it started making me realise that 21st century business is built through collaboration and is built much more through having people on contract to you running their own businesses are able to really raise your game all the time because if they're contracted to you as a business they are wanting to be a supplier to your business, makes your business have the best at all times in your business and rather than managing a large work force of people that you are ending up having to have HR departments to manage and offices to keep them in you're actually, as the leader of that business, focussed entirely on what the customer wants because you're not having to manage HR and facilities so 21st century business people should be collaborating with large groups of people that are all the experts in their field and bringing their skills in for their clients when they need them and that's the way that I see people using social networks at their absolute best is when they're not just using it as somewhere to get referrals and grow their brand, they're also using it in a collaborative way to develop their business in having the best people in their network.
You know I've already talked about Darwin and the species who are most likely to survive is the one who can adapt the most. That has to be one of the most important mantras that we have when we go into the 21st century.
Massive competition, massive visibility of brands so how can your business constantly adapt to this changing world that's accelerating at internet speed, the knowledge is accelerating, the needs, the demand for markets are accelerating.
If you have a leading business where you're completely customer focussed then you're going to be able to adapt and by using a social network, a large group of people around you, experts in their field you're going to be able to adapt your business utilising a field of people rather than utilising a base of employees.

  • I agree with Pennys comments that employers need to adapt to modern practices and contract the best people to improve their businesses.

  • Penny really knows her stuff!

  • I am a huge fan of Penny's and that fact that she is female and doing so well in her career.

  • Really like this thinking - Penny always explains things in a great way as well.

  • I really enjoy hearing penny speak she always makes some great points and i completely agree with kelsi and her comment about evolution

  • Penny makes some very good points about networking and definetely hit the nail on the head when she said business is somewhat like evolution, only the best adapted will survive in todays ever changing world.

  • Penny makes an impression...she gives a simplistic view about implementing business strategies.

  • Opens the door for many small businesses in the 21st century.  Definitely makes alot of sense - good advice!

  • Penny really gets to the true value of online networks here. It's utlising the old wax and flame expression. The main thing to it is making sure that any external parties that you rely of for key services to your customers will deliver every time.

  • Penny is spot on. And my own experience is that this is right. There are a lot more shows coming out featuring Penny. Good stuff for any entrepreneur.
