  • There are going to be people you meant who aren't meant to be in your network
  • It's about the people you associate yourself with and those who you work with
  • Participate in professional speaker panels and always make sure to follow up and send thank you's 
  • Informational interviews - get a phone call out of every phone call
  • People like hiring people they like, so be personable and someone people want to be around
  • Don't be afraid of failure
  • Always have the mindset that what might not seem like a glorious job to you, is actually helping someone else do their job successfully
