By Vito La Fata


If you are just starting out in business, or even if you are a seasoned business owner, you need to have some networking skills in your toolbox. Having a strong foundation of networking skills is an important part of seeing growth in your business. Keep reading for some helpful skills to become an excellent networker.

Step one is to have a deep thirst for knowledge, a deep curiosity, an unyielding passion to build relationships with the best and the brightest, and a joy and generosity in sharing with others. In our mastermind this runs at the root of what we do and it's something palpable. It's why our collective minds can almost vibrate at an intensity that has us in open arms all the time.

Step two is to surround yourself with remarkable people- the most brilliant, exceptional, and accomplished individuals you can find- and then create an atmosphere that will encourage them to share their wealth of ideas, wisdom, and experiences. If it sounds basic in some ways, it is. The difference is in how you perfect the execution of this idea and elevate it to lucrative heights that excite the imagination for the people partaking.

Step three is to go with a giving hand. Build relationships by figuring out how you can help someone without expecting anything in return. What can you bring to the table that will add value to their lives? Be at the events, conferences and masterminds where you can be in the position to offer someone else your help. Networking is a marketing tool that promises long-term success if you understand that it requires a sincere desire to help others.

Step four is to attempt to create feelings of goodwill in your networking circles. This will help you to create very strong and mutually beneficial relationships with others, and those relationships will be the backbone not only of your success, but other their success as well.

Finally, keep in mind that networking is not just about making profit. If you are only out to make money, you will not succeed in becoming a networking master. Rather, understand that you must mainly want to help others and help the group.
