That is the power of a network. Here are 3 habits to build a web of people: 1. Say hi to everyone you see more than once (janitors, doormen, etc.) 2. Message people when you think of them, randomly 3. Instead of 1-1 lunches, invite a bunch Source: guy with massive DC network

The real secret is being genuinely helpful to others first. If you put good energy and real value out there, those connections often come back to you when you least expect it, which is better than just trying to force an introduction.

It’s also extremely overrated and glamorised because for the majority to “know a guy” is unheard of. The only thing to do is put your head down and do the work, your network will grow after you grow

Been paying dividends for me lately. Turn out when you start a business, people you’ve known for years come out of the woodwork to introduce you to exactly the people you need to know, the moment you need to know them.

It’s said that if you look hard enough, you’re only 4 degrees of separation from anyone in the world. If you want to talk to Obama. You > friend > friends friend > friends friends friend > Obama. Or something like that.
