What To Do If Your Network Drags You Down

What to do if Your Network Drags You Down? A network is meant to be supportive â€" the very definition of a network is to be in a mutually beneficial, win-win relationship of give & take. I was just lately asked by a job seeker what to do when a sure member of your network de-values you. Well … there is only one thing to do … distance yourself right away. We build our network over time and thru our high quality interactions in life and in business. We share our community with folks that we know, like and trust. That is the power of networking â€" if I be ok with our relationship, I will open my network as much as you. So if you know 250 people and I know 250 people, collectively we are 500 robust. If somebody is de-valuing you in any means â€" mocking you, only taking and never giving, talking badly about you … it should be over! There are so many individuals in this world who you would be spending high quality time with that it's silly to expend energy with the mistaken varieties. Remember to build your network every d ay as there are such a lot of ways to do so: 1. Never eat lunch alone 2. Speak to people that are in line behind or in entrance of you 3. Reconnect with high school or school friends/acquaintances four. Volunteer for a cause you care about and meet new associates 5. Continue your knowledge indirectly: take a diet class (one thing that I’m doing), take a dance lesson, be taught a brand new language 6. Next time you are on vacation, take an curiosity in someone you meet & keep in touch The list is infinite. And I hope that's all of the proof you should not waste time with anybody who ever de-values you. Life is just too short!! Our FREE job search mini-course is on the market now!
