Your network is your net worth.

But are you truly investing in it?

"Never Eat Alone" by Keith Ferrazzi reveals 5 mindset shifts for building a powerful network:

1) Build a relationship mindset.

Networking isn't transactional - it's a way of life. (Sentence 1)

Prioritize continually making new connections. (Sentence 2)

And nurturing existing ones over time. (Sentence 3)

Relationships open doors. (Concluding sentence)

2) Be generous first.

• Don't network just to get something.

• Offer your time, advice and resources upfront.

• Give before expecting anything in return.

Generosity builds Trust.

3) Cultivate authenticity.

• People crave real, honest relationships. (Sentence 1)

• Share vulnerabilities to build mutual understanding. (Sentence 2)

• And actively listen to nurture respect. (Sentence 3)

Authenticity attracts the right people. (Concluding sentence)

4) Follow up relentlessly.

• Networking isn't a one-time transaction.

• Consistently follow up and stay connected.

• Use social media, calls, coffees - whatever works.

Relationships need nurturing to thrive.

5) Build your personal brand.

• Identify and showcase your unique strengths.

• Define your goals to attract aligned opportunities.

• Then leverage your network to open those doors.

A strong brand amplifies your connections.
