Professionals, students and entrepreneurs are encouraged to write out their objectives and goals.

By creating a fiction based networking magazine, individuals are able to focus on key points or issues which can affect their endeavors. Listed below are helpful questions and ideas for mapping out a good strategic plan of action.

Front Cover

As the owner of the magazine, who would you select as your first cover model? Is this person well known within your industry or someone who is popular in your community? What values does this individual embody? How has this particular person helped or enhanced your business? These types of qualities and values should be evident in your networking circle of friends and colleagues.

Editor in Chief

Who has the best interest of your magazines values and the interests of the readers? Can this person make the magazine successful?
