12 Steps To Building Your Network

These steps are presented in the spirit of a network being defined as a group of people who are committed to one another’s success.

1.      Know what business you are in as a person: your genius and purpose.
2.      Be attuned to what the universe is telling you, and create a vision that inspires and compels you.
3.      Attend to your vision and tell others about it.
4.      Think of a network as resources for both personal empowerment and collaboration to create new realities.
5.      Be willing to invest yourself in helping others realize their visions.
6.      Know, and let others know, what you want and what you have to offer.
7.      Listen carefully for what others want and what they have to offer.
8.      Create linkage between wants, offerings, and visions.
9.      Know that when you choose to give rather than withhold, you enrich and empower an entire network.
10. Believe that when you act, the web of life trembles.
11. Remember that networks are processes with many centers, and neither structures nor hierarchies.
12. Have fun together, celebrate often, and stay positive.
