How to Build and Grow Your Network

There is a famous quote that says, "No man is an island." This saying is especially true in business. Part of building your business is growing your network. Even those who don't plan to be business owners make connections. Networking is a skill you can learn, better to start today than later.
In this episode, I share how to build and grow your network especially when attending conferences and events. I also talk about the right mindset that will allow you to establish long-term relationships for your business, how to network at conventions, and how to include networking as part of your business building efforts.
