Challenging work? Reading? Learning? Nope.
If you asked 100 people you would likely hear answers like "hard work", "reading", "learning", or "daily meditation". While all of those things are good practice, there is one thing that makes more of a difference than any other, and it isn't always the most obvious answer.
Adam Rifkin, the three-time cofounder of venture-backed startups knows about this career-best practice. He was highlighted by Adam Grant in his book Give and Take as the top connected person.
Turns out Rifkin knows the importance of networking. He has built his professional network over decades with the simple mindset of doing small things every day to increase his connection to others by having a genuine desire to help them.
Rifkin lives out building his network by using the 'five-minute favor' principle. "You should be willing to do something that will take you five minutes or less for anybody.
The stories about Rifkin and all of the positive things that have happened to him and his startups because of his network are endless.
Now is your opportunity to use networking to bring your business or career beyond that you have ever imagined. to do that requires several unique-simple steps.
Here's 4 steps you should be taking every day for at least 1 hour a day to change your financial future through networking. Yes, make networking an everyday habit for your success. It will help you escape the 9 to 5.
When you begin to make networking an everyday habit, you will see that meeting people should not be for the purpose of meeting an immediate personal need. Mandy Menaker, head of Brand for the emerging professional networking app Shapr when asked about the importance of networking she said,
"The best time to build professional relationships is when you can be helpful and share a great conversation without a transactional purpose. Spend time connecting over shared interests and focus on building meaningful relationships with no favor in mind, so you have a strong network in place when you need it down the line."
Chris Manley, a partner at Skookum Digital Works, is one of the best and most effective networkers I have ever met. He is constantly connecting people without any benefit to himself or his firm. When how he got so good at this career-advancing skill he said, "Originally it was all about me and meeting people who could fill my pipeline. I learned this approach didn't work.
So, I started going to events and connecting with people with similar passions and interests as me. I stopped thinking about how it could benefit me and started thinking about who I had in my network to help others. The truth is, the magic doesn't start until people truly care about each other's success."
The best part about making networking an everyday habit is that it's easier than ever before to build a professional network that matters. Thanks to powerful platforms like LinkedIn, apps like Shapr, Meetups, and industry conferences in every city there are endless opportunities to meet others and create real value-based relationships.
- Here are a few tips about networking from someone who has gone from no professional network to over 30,000 contacts in five years.
Step 1: Be an active participant on LinkedIn or Alignable
LinkedIn or Alignable has become a must-stop place on the internet to showcase your business, resume and personal brand. Ensure your profile is updated, send personalized connection requests, and contribute to the platform by writing articles, commenting on posts, or uploading a value-added video. If you stick with it, people will take notice and you will build real human connections.
Step 2: Use the five-minute favor.
Take a page out of our playbook and be willing to do something for anyone if it takes you five minutes or less. It could be as simple as sharing a blog that you found interesting and letting the person who wrote it know much you liked it.
Step 3: Make introductions for others without being asked.
In many ways, it cheapens or makes networking feel dirty to ask someone for a referral or introduction. There is nothing I hate more than a financial adviser bringing a list of my LinkedIn connections to a meeting and asking if I would be willing to make introductions.
Instead be proactive in offering introductions, and helping to elevate your network through connecting them to one another.
Step 4: Meet people outside of your industry for a call or a coffee.
I have begun using coffee appointments to meet people I wouldn't normally meet. I have yet to feel like it's a waste of time to share my expertise with others, learn something new or meeting someone I would never have otherwise met.
I will leave you with a quote from LinkedIn co-founder and host of the Master of Scale Podcast, Reid Hoffman: "The more altruistic your attitude, the more benefits you will gain from the relationship. If you set out to help others, you will rapidly reinforce your own reputation and expand your universe of possibilities."
If you want to have your career or business take off like you have never dreamed of consider doing networking every day.
Here's the #1 Reason WHY you'll want to network every day!
The transition to advanced automation technology has sparked fears of massive business, job and career losses as machines take over the work. While much of the larger public conversation has been focused on the automation of blue-collar work like truck driving or manufacturing, there’s little reason to think that white-collar work is immune from the looming changes that AI and robotics technology could bring.
Quick Question.
Shall we network with each other? "I am just curious what do you like most about what you are doing for a living? Will networking help you in your business, profession or career? Or will technology take your earning power away from you? I'd like to have a "Meet and Greet" with you and talk about what you're up to.
"In short, let's network with each other on something I think will benefit each of us. Can we talk about your future networking? This will be a win-win for the both of us. Let me know your thoughts. Let’s do coffee or have a phone conversation to discuss how we can network together. It will change the direction of your future."
Again, thanks for joining with me on Linked In or Alignable. If you have not done so yet, please do so now, because it will bring you many business, professional or career opportunities.
Hope all is going well for you and yours in 2018 and beyond.
