Most people only network when they want a career change.
They’re between roles.
They’re exploring what’s next.
They’re thinking about a move.
Just think about when you last actively networked.
Were you doing so with a sense of urgency?
When you network from that place, it often comes across as transactional.
You’re reaching out from a place of SCARCITY.
But let’s flip this dynamic.
Why not prioritise networking when things are going well in your career?
You’ll be coming across from a place of ABUNDANCE.
You’re not asking for anything.
You’re confident.
You’re curious.
And funnily enough, that’s when people want to work with you the most.
So think about the last time you said, “I should go to that.”
Next time it comes up, say yes.
Even if you’re busy.
Even if you’re not sure it’s “worth it.”
Being curious and in a good place is reason enough for going.
Because it’s very likely that cool things will happen when you do.
Especially if you KEEP saying yes to these types of opportunities because you want to, not because you feel like you have to.
