Week-End: The Importance of Networking

Know that most things in life come from other people.

Every interaction you have is an opportunity to create a new friend.

Find out more about people’s interest and concerns.

Aim to keep in touch as the relationship will fade if you don’t.

Be willing to invest time talking with people.

Learn to enjoy it – people are endlessly fascinating.

Aim to leave people in better emotional shape than you found them.

The practice of networking (online and offline) will become even more important in the future. And think how important Facebook, LinkedIn, Branchout etc. are now! You’ll also find that income opportunities will arise due to the people you meet. Business is built on relationships. And seeking a high quality network may open the doorways that will surprise you. Remember, that the networks you are a part of can contact any person on the planet in only 6 steps. Whether president or pop star. Somebody knows somebody who knows somebody etc.
