I’ve often heard people get frustrated about the fact that other people were able to get opportunities because of who they knew. And, I would often be in agreement that some people are positioned better based on the communities that they are in. But, what if I told you that you too could position yourself better and utilize networking to grow your life. In fact, I will insist that networking is in the top 10 life-skills that you HAVE to master if you want to:
- Grow professionally-Connect with opportunities to share what you know.
- Grow personally-Connect with opportunities to push yourself personally and intellectually.
- Potentially fall in love-Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were set up through friends.
- Have access to more information to better your life
You have more control over how you build your network than you’ve been led to believe. This episode will share some easy and actionable tips that bypass the traditional and boring networking lunch/dinner/or mixer.

Many people hate to hear this…but, it’s not always what you know…but, who you know that gets you ahead. One of the biggest mistakes that I see people in people in the workforce (working for other people or entrepreneurs) is not prioritizing networking.
So, I ask you.
How are you meeting people?
There is no right or wrong answer to the question. But, you may find that you only meet people from one specific area of interest and that you may want to expand your circle. You may discover that you’re spread thin and are a part of too many groups and can’t focus on building sustainable connections.
Networking should not be stiff and awkward and the best type of networking happens when you’re doing what you enjoy.
Always remember that people prefer to work with people that they know like and trust.
