He wrote a great book on networking called “Never Eat Alone”. Fascinating…

Now I think it’s awesome. Being able to learn about new people while sharing tips with each other leads to connections that I would have never had.

I’m finding this to be true more and more these days. It’s a noisy world and the ones who speak the loudest aren’t always the ones who get heard. It’s the ones who build relationships with a win-win mind-set.
 
I’m a singer/songwriter and it took me a while to get over the really immature attitude that us artsy folk have when it comes to stepping out and meeting people. There can be this strange sort of “false humility” that says networking is just sleezy self promotion. But I’ve recently found the opposite to be true (depending on motives).
 
When I meet a new person whether online, or at a gig I play, or anywhere, I want to add value to their lives and “selflessly promote them” (like the Yakezie slogan says). This only comes back around to me in the end anyway — so it’s win-win!
 
Thanks for the article. Keep it dude!

@TacklingOurDebt I was in BNI for a while as well. I made some great contacts including my rock star accountant who has saved me tons of money. I also found a great mechanic in addition to bringing in several new patients. Highly recommend networking groups!

My work has sent me for off-site training several times and there I have met people who work in different departments and have gotten some advice on how to advance to certain positions. I’ve also learned what it was like work in certain positions. We also have an opportunity to job shadow someone for a day in a department we are interested in learning more about.  Unlike the other companies, I’ve worked for, I feel like this organization really wants to help you find your niche.
