Networking – Few people fully realize that a good network of contacts can take years off meeting your financial/career goals and can bring benefits you haven’t even thought of yet, but will be glad you have when the time comes. There is a huge population of people out there who have made their fortunes from networking effectively.
Examine your own life, I’ll bet you owe the bulk of everything you have, and everything you are, to a small number of influential people that you can easily count on one hand. Although everyone likes to think they can do it on their own – we can’t. The reality is that we are not Independent – we are Interdependent. It is our interdependence that makes us strong, and good people help us to grow and build our strengths. I would not want to be independent if I could. Why would I want to cut that many good people out of my life?
In actuality, most people are successful in direct one to one proportion to how many people know them, and like them. Likeability is huge!. We like to do business with people we like, we help people we like, we hire people we like, promote people we like and give breaks to people we like. Get the idea? The list goes on and on.
Networking helps us to realize what opportunities are out there and gives us the opportunity to help people and advance in ways we would never have thought of. Being good isn’t enough when your network is limited. Think of a limited network, as limited options. Get good at networking, or get good at going through life trying to live off the scraps instead of living in abundance.
Nobody teaches us how to network – but it is a key life skill. This is a case where others are not excluding you – you are! Get in their and just be yourself, draw on what is best in you, come to serve, and you will do great!
Look, you could write an entire book on how to network, but my goal is simply to give you a sense of how important this area is and point you in the right direction. Get out there and get some books on networking and the time spent studying them will come back to you a thousand fold.

That's it for now!
