Networking takes consistency and time and that habit to always be knocking at someone’s door and letting them know that you are ready, willing, and able to provide them with lots of value and when and if the opportunities arise, you are ready to receive the value in return, and as we talked about in prior episodes, make it an appreciation of having some great friends, colleagues, and referral sources around you anytime that they can.
How to become a better connector? What is Networking?
Networking really is about making friends. Making connections, being out there, and basically making sure that you are getting to know more people, what they do, and how well they do it. And keeping your eyes and ears open on opportunities where you can provide those benefits.

- Focus your time, energy, and effort on providing lots more value than you received.
- Don’t keep score.
- Generosity, not greed.
- When it’s time to talk about yourself, be very specific.
“What we feed our mind will ultimately be what we’re always thinking about.”
This particular Special Episode is going to focus on a few quick passages from the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill.
The Self-Confidence Formula
- I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my definite purpose in life.
- I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward physical action and gradually transform themselves into physical reality.
- I know through the principle of auto-suggestion, any desire that I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression through some practical means of attaining the object back of it.
- I have clearly written down a description of my definite chief aim in life, and I will never stop trying until I shall have developed sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.
- I fully realized that no wealth or position can long endure unless built upon truth and justice.
Don’t worry about constantly looking to meet new people just yet.

How to get the most benefit from your top 12 referral sources? Why do we pick the number 12? Well, There are four quarters in the year, and there are three months in every quarter. You’ve got three groups of four, and you’re going to connect with them, reconnect with them, and then repeat them every particular quarter.
Consciously and deliberately pay attention to those top 12 for this particular exercise, which I promise to you, if you implement this correctly and you do this routinely and consistently, it is going to have a direct and noticeable impact on your business development opportunities.
