Building relationships takes time and effort from "summary" of Build Your Dream Network by J. Kelly Hoey
Establishing meaningful connections requires more than a mere exchange of business cards or a quick LinkedIn request. It demands a significant investment of both time and effort. Building relationships is not a one-time task but an ongoing process that requires consistent nurturing and communication. It involves actively engaging with others, showing genuine interest in their lives, and finding ways to add value to the relationship.
In the digital age, it is easy to fall into the trap of prioritizing quantity over quality when it comes to networking. However, true networking success lies in the depth and authenticity of your connections rather than the sheer number of contacts in your address book. It is about building a strong foundation of trust and mutual respect with others, which takes time to cultivate.
Effective networking is not about simply reaching out to someone when you need a favor or assistance. It is about building genuine and meaningful relationships based on mutual support and reciprocity. This requires investing time in getting to know the other person, understanding their goals and challenges, and finding ways to help them succeed.
In a world where instant gratification is often the norm, it is essential to remember that building relationships is a gradual process that cannot be rushed. It requires patience, persistence, and a willingness to invest the necessary time and effort to nurture connections over time. By taking a long-term approach to networking, you can build a strong and diverse network of relationships that will support you throughout your career and beyond.
