Networking Tips

 Need to build a network? Here are ten tips for successful networking:   

1.     Look at your present positive and meaningful relationships. Is there more you can give?

2.     If you want to get to know someone, ask a mutual acquaintance for an introduction. Friends cannot read your mind; communicate how they can help you.

3.    Make healthy connections by avoiding toxic personalities. They drain you and prohibit you from making the right kind of connections.

4.    Practice patience with yourself and others.

5.    Make a new connection each day. Plenty of opportunities can present themselves daily if you are open to them.

6.    Be quick to laugh - things do not always go as planned.

7.    Travel out of your comfort zone to meet new people. You never know when that next great contact will come your way.

8.    Share information or articles that would be helpful someone prosper. Sharing shows you care.

9.    Tap into your strengths when it comes to meeting people. For some, it is one-on-one. For others, it is large events. In addition, keep in mind: weaknesses are only potential strengths!

10.  Remember to network at home. Spend time with your family, friends, or even a good book. The more knowledge you gain, whether it is about a child's sports team or the latest stock market research, the easier it is to find a commonality with a new acquaintance.
