How to Be a Connector…..

Connections

I stumbled upon a really great article via LinkedIn published by Entrepreneur.com about the importance of cultivating genuine relationships vs looking for an ends to a means through networking. People always ask me, 'How are you able to connect with so many people?' The answer lies in that fact that I'm truly interested in people. It is this sincere interest in cultivating holistic relationships that has been the catalyst in my development of dynamic connections and friendships.

Not everyone can be a connector, but developing this skill to the best of your ability is imperative to hone, particularly in this murky economic climate. Whether you are looking for a gig, starting a business or looking for a mate the ecosystem of relationships that you build will be an essential factor in the success of any those endeavors. Friends(or Loose ties) depend on Friends (or Loose Ties) to make things happen.  Read article here. – YG (@youngglobal)
