Trust in the process of networking from "summary" of The Greatest Networker in the World by John Milton Fogg
Let me tell you a story. Imagine a farmer who plants seeds in the spring and trusts that they will grow into a bountiful harvest by the fall. He doesn't dig up the seeds every day to check on their progress. He doesn't doubt the process, but rather he trusts in it. He waters the seeds, tends to them, and allows nature to take its course. In the same way, when we are building our network, we must trust in the process. We must plant the seeds of relationships and nurture them over time. We must have patience and faith that these connections will bear fruit in due time.
Networking is not about immediate results or instant gratification. It is a long-term investment in building trust, rapport, and mutual benefit. It requires us to be consistent, persistent, and authentic in our interactions with others.
Just as the farmer trusts that his seeds will grow into a harvest, we must trust that our networking efforts will lead to opportunities, connections, and success. We must have faith in the process, even when we don't see immediate results.
So, my friend, trust in the process of networking. Plant the seeds of relationships, nurture them with care and attention, and watch as they grow into a thriving network that will support you in ways you never imagined. Remember, networking is a journey, not a destination. Trust in the process and enjoy the ride.
