Building Your Network: 3 Things to Do Everyday

Top 3 things to do everyday to build your network: 

1.  Share your network
2.  Share information
3.  Be actively compassionate  

A recent post in LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20130524133536-45185363-building-your-network-3-things-to-do-everyday) made me ponder what do people like us do everyday to build our Circles?

Agree sharing your network by connecting people all the time should happen naturally when the opportunity arises.   Being known as "the connector" is a good thing to building your Circle.

I personally enjoy connecting people every month at our WindsorEssex Circle events.   Watching new relationships develop and seeing interactive discussions leading to great ideas which turn into opportunities for the people you just connected is what it's all about.

Sharing information such as articles specifically to someone in your network makes them know the value you have on the relationship.  Take some time to think about others and what they may be interested in.   Make it genuine and not tied to your services to generate a sale.

Being compassionate and bringing positive energy to everything you do regardless of how your day has gone or what is on your plate can sometimes be difficult.   Breathe, focus and bring on the positive energy and thoughts.   People prefer to connect with people like us.  Don't forget to smile.

What are you doing to build your Circles every day?
