Secret Skill # 4: Networking
Networking is totally crucial in your business. In the past, I Focused my energy on doing my own thing. (Well, that's exactly what most people do today ) I not only felt alone, but I've also made a lot of unwise decision within my business.
IF that time, I had chosen to network with someone of the most passionate people within my ventures, I would NOT have made a whole bunch of mistakes that made me make a lot of WRONG decisions.
Why is networking so important?
Why do you need to establish a support group?
Why do you need to do it right now, instead of waiting when you need to?
Getting to now the people who share the same passion that you do is absolutely critical. In fact, when you can have the same-minded individuals to support your growth, you are able to avoid unnecessary mistakes by going solo.
Heres the truth...
When I first started my very first 500 campaign, I had no idea what I was doing. I just knew that at that time, I wanted to have a big list, However, when I learned from several friends and mentors my prospective about my buiness changed 100%.
If i didn't have my support group at that time, I might have chosen to focus quantity, isntead of quality. not only is it a wrong decission, but it could cause a fatal death in my business.
What IF I don not have that support group?
What IF I was just working solo, without getting advice?
Well, my guess is... you would NOT be as successful as you want to be. Perhaps, today, I would not have given you the suggestions on networking with others, right?
The problem is...
"How Do We Network With a Group
of Same-Minded Individuals?"
There are many ways to connect with passionate people:
1.You can attend seminars
2. You can join coaching programs
3.You can participate in the forums
4. You can create a mastermind group
5.You can create a breakfast networking meeting
One of the fastest ways to connect with others is by going to the local business meetings in your area, such as: Small Business Association (SBA). Get to know people. Present your business.
Don't forget one more Thing... "Stay Open"
What do I mean by "Stay Open"?
Many times when I met business people, they would present themeselves as if they were bigger than who they really are. However, after earning millions online and networking with friends who are earning between $10 million-$50 miilion per year, they are very humble.
In fact, the first time I met them, I thought they were janitors working on the street. Once we engaged in conversation, they were just RICH in wisdom.
The secret in here is..."Stay humble and stay open to suggestions".
