Jason Albas Best Networking Tip

Jason Albas Best Networking Tip After weeks of thinking about this, I finally came up with what I would consider my best networking tip. Im not sure if people would understand it, though, without knowing who I am or what happened to me in 2006 (dont worry, Im not going to provide that background here just read through some of my old blog posts). The thought process was provoked by Andrew over at LegalAndrew.com for his upcoming blog carnival. Andrews Question: Provide your best tip to help networking newbies start the year right. Jasons Answer: Have a paradigm shift on what networking really is. Its usually hard for me to come up with one tip, and I thought of things like read a book (I will read Some Assembly Required this month), just do it, make sure you follow-up, etc. If you would have told that to me a year ago (one year ago, to this day, I was still employed) I would have nodded my head and said I know. But what I really needed to do at that time was have a paradigm shift, and learn what networking really is. Some of the things that helped me in my own paradigm shift included: getting laid off and having to really understand what a network was meeting power-connectors, seeing their power, and learning how they worked reading devouring Never Eat Alone working towards becoming a power-connector giving what I could to others intros to others, leads on jobs that I was interested in, etc. making a concerted effort to be at a networking event (or one-on-one lunch), even if I didnt want to reaching out to others and inititiating and sometimes nurturing a relationship, even when uncomfortable of course, my entire plight with JibberJobber and the focus that I have on developing relationships and providing a useful tool to help you do the same Any of these could have been my one tip, but really it was a no-brainer when I figured it out. You know how effective it is to tell someone to shift their paradigm ?? But the bottom line is, 11 months later, that is the single most important tip that I can think of. Good luck in your shift P.S. my paradigm is still shifting! I still work at each of those things, it isnt necessarily easy, or more comfortable, but my life is richer because of the relationships Ive developed this last year!
