2/ Stop thinking about what you can get—start giving instead 🎁

The best networkers focus on adding value before asking for anything. They connect people, share insights, and offer help with no strings attached.

The ROI of generosity? Exponential.

3/ Be interested, not just interesting 👂

Want to stand out? Listen more than you speak.

Instead of “What do you do?”, try:

✅ What’s exciting in your work right now?

✅ What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

✅ If you could collaborate with anyone, who would it be?

4/ Follow up—because almost no one does 📩

Most people exchange contacts… and then do nothing.

Be different:

✔ Send a message within 24 hours.

✔ Reference something specific from your convo.

✔ Add value (a link, intro, or resource).

Simple. Effective.

5/ Play the long game ⏳

Real networking isn’t about instant wins—it’s about relationships built over time.

The people who “know everyone”? They didn’t just wake up like that. They nurtured those relationships for years.

Small, consistent check-ins make all the difference.

6/ Your circle determines your ceiling 🔥

You become the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.

Want to level up?

✅ Join mastermind groups.

✅ Be intentional about your circle.

✅ Surround yourself with people who challenge you to grow.
