Two Golden Rules of Networking

Above anything else – before mingling at the social events, workshops, professional association meetings, alumni football games – keep these 2 rules in mind first and foremost. Then worry about the rest.

1. Give before you ask or take - find ways to help others first, and the good karma will assuredly find it’s way back to you. Offer what you can to help someone else along the path of achieving her/his goals, and the law of reciprocation will find it’s way back to you.

2. Show sincerity and gratitude – there can never be enough sincere “thank you’s” when someone has given of her/his time to help you. Keep an “attitude of gratitude” for every bit of assistance you receive, be it big or small.

Learn and live these two rules, and the results will follow.
