Wealthy people need connections to get wealthy. They connect less often and just hire some help. Poor people rely on each other and must keep connections alive for survival. Neighbors and church members become babysitters and transportation. (William Von Hippel). #networkingutah
If people do business with those that they know, like, and trust, do you qualify? Telling stories is an easy way to get your message across. Contrast the before and after, what you wish you had known, or what you see happening in your industry.

Trying to fake it till you make it? Chances are people are not buying it. But you can still spin your situation to focus on your ambitious plans, your mission and your values, which can be impressive. People trust authenticity now more than ever.

Have you ever tried to converse with someone but felt that you couldn’t connect? Try switching tactics. Ask about how they’re doing in this stage of life. Ask about their goals. Ask about their family. Ask them for advice. Try something new till you find what “clicks”.
