Your network is a dynamic resource that is constantly changing. Every day you have a choice to increase or decrease your connections. And every day your existing connections are strengthening or weakening.
However, we don’t normally view our network in this proactive way.
That’s because everyone already has a network which has largely been developed through passive behaviour. We have gained a network simply by living within established environments like school, university and work.
It’s easy to feel connected when your lives are intertwined. But once you move away from these environments, how much are you fostering these connections?
And how much are you considering your network beyond your current environments?
Your network really is your net worth. And to make the most of your network, you need to tend to it.
This may seem daunting at first because your network has hundreds or thousands of connections already.
But a great place to start is to simply reflect on this question: What would it mean if I was more intentional with my network?
