A very obvious piece of advice: the time to start building relationships is now. Yes, relationships. Relationships for a variety of reasons take time to develop and it’s best to seek out people to get to know them well in advance of needing their help. Here are some types of people you should consider:

Relationships are likely to take longer than you expect to develop. My recommendation is to start building your network now.

What else? Do you agree/disagree? What are some other types of people you should consider?

    I believe in person networking is hyper-critical to one’s success or failure in business.

    Things that have helped me:
    -live close to the city
    -attend at least 1 event per month in your category/niche
    -don’t be lazy. if your mind tells you to deny doing something…DO IT.
    -if you work from home, you should have a private space to work. if not, get a cheap place in the city to work out from and start networking 🙂
