You don’t need to know everything if you know everyone.
There’s pressure in our industry to always be networking. Always working a room. Always “on.” Why is that?
Simply put – the power of the right connections can be invaluable.
I can recall early on in my career making a connection that would be the major kickstart to my career. There were two business owners that shared in a similar season of life/business, the same values, and the same sized aspirations. They were both making big waves as newly formed businesses and I knew they were both going somewhere big (and I wanted to be around it).
I introduced the 2 of them and it was off to the races. This connection proved to be invaluable to them, and in turn it became invaluable to me. How? Not only did each of our businesses grow substantially over the next few years, but we also unlocked something all the more valuable.
The access to specialized experts.
You see, amazing people tend to hang around amazing people. And achievers hang around higher achievers. And as time went on and our businesses grew, it unlocked incredible new introductions to specialized experts and big thinkers over…and over…and over. That’s a game changer.
So maybe you’ve tried your hand at networking. Maybe you’ve been longing to level up your game but can’t find a way to break in. Or maybe you’re just flat-out exhausted of wading through the lead-sucking, troll-festering waters of LinkedIn. We get that. We’ve been there. We’ve waded those waters.
But remember – you don’t need to know everything if you know everyone.
…And we can help you with that ‘everyone’ part.
