Tips for Networking
1. Establish Your Goals
It’s important to figure out what you like and what you don’t like. Don’t worry about knowing exactly what you want. The beauty of networking is that you might get things you never imagined. Start by honing your sense of discernment.
2. Know Where You Need to Be
Living in the right city, like Los Angeles, is important, but you also need to be in the right places within the city. Do your research by reading histories, biographies, and magazines.
3. Be Consistent
Showing up regularly in the same places is key. People need to get familiar with your face. Choose spots where you can consistently show up.
4. Focus on the Details
Pay attention to small details like how people talk, their posture, and how they wear their clothes. These little things can reveal a lot about them.
5. Remember Names and Details
Always remember names, birth dates, and any other details about people. After meeting someone, jot down notes to review before seeing them again.
6. Be Chill
Stay relaxed and avoid being anxious or needy. Being calm and collected can make others feel comfortable around you.
7. Never Ask for Anything
Let others offer help or opportunities on their own. Asking makes you seem needy; instead, be open to receiving if offered.
Important Rule
Never sacrifice your integrity or autonomy. Accept only what is right for you and always be kind, consistent, and honest.
