You Are Already A Master Networker

• You don’t need to read networking books.
• You don’t need networking skills.
• You don’t need to go to business classes and learn how to network.
• You don’t need to become a master networker.

You are already a master networker in the field that interests you.

Have You Ever Been

In a room with a bunch of people that love what you love and do what you do? Have you been surrounded by people who talk about the things that you do or read the books that you are interested in? Have you met people that you want to meet? What happens when you are in a room with these kinds of people?

You Will Want To Get To Know Them

You will forget how you look like, your insecurities or fears. The only thing that you will do when you are there is get to know the people that are going to further your career. When you have a burning desire to become a master at your own skills and work you will be an incredibly efficient networker.

This will only happen to you if you are at a place that you love.

Do you really need to know how to become a master networker at those places? No. You will know how to do it and you will do it naturally. When you are TRULY interested at what the other person is saying they are going to want to talk to you.

All You Need Is To Know Thyself.

Most people get this totally wrong. I got this totally wrong for many years. I read articles like ‘Networking for People Who Hate Networking’. And yes, I totally hated it. I was in a room with a bunch of people; I felt very uncomfortable networking with them. I thought I needed to become a master networker, but all I needed to do was to know myself to truly become successful.

At The Networking Meeting

Your mind is a self-fulfilling mission machine. Your mind is only going to focus on the things that are going to further your mission and your purpose. If you are truly at a place that you love, then your mind is going to help you find the people you need to talk to. You are going to look at the person and say, “Yes, that the person I want to talk to.”

The people that you want to talk to stand out of the crowd. It’s almost something magical. You can even ask yourself the question while you are in the room.

Who do I need to talk to?

What person in the room is going to help me the most?

Give And Take

When you talk to people that you really want to talk to then they are going to want to talk to you, too. Even if you are starting out and are a newbie, people love talking about themselves especially when they are good at what they do. They would love to talk to someone that really wants to learn something. You don’t need to worry about what you can do for them. You are doing something for them by letting them talk to you and letting them teach you something.

Energy Trumps Skill Every Time

People will feel your focus and your energy. If you are there because you love being there, then your energy is going to be all you need to become a master networker. You can become a master networker by reading books and learning about how to do it, but if you don’t really want to talk to the people you meet then why do it in the first place. Read the books that inspire you or furthers your career. Reading books and learning about how to become a master networker never hurts, but why put your time into something you don’t necessarily need.
