NETWORKING IS IMPORTANTI have been networking for 20 years and counting. My network now expands all across the nation and even into international realms. It includes lawyers, church leaders, business owners, political strategists, statewide organizational leaders, homeschool moms, medical professionals. I call friends those who serve in elected office, service club leaders, Law Enforcement members, media personalities, retired military, professors, former college Presidents, just to name a few.

I love networking. But even more so, I love impacting the world with good. Networking expands my ability to do that and more.

To do networking well, you need to learn how to put yourself in the best position to be connected to others. How do you get to the place where you are the one being connected, vs seeking the connections, to someone else? And how do you orchestrate connecting and networking in such a way to value the human and get what you need? Did you know that you can accomplish it all easily with honor, grace, and long term purpose? It’s true.

There are some fundamental principles when it comes to networking. We will explore them in this book, including some of the basics: 

• What is networking?
  
• Why does networking matter? 
  
• What is the most important part of networking?
  
• How do you start networking?
  
• How do you build upon your current relationships? 
  
• How do you put your best foot forward? 
  
• How much time does it take? 
  
• And more 
  

If you are a CEO, a new developing business, or perhaps a church leader and it really is not your thing to network, after you review this material you will now know what to look for in a business partner or your next hire. You will also get a sense of what excellence looks like in networking. Even if your team is doing the connecting for you and acting on your behalf, make sure that they are aiming for the highest standard possible. You want to be certain your brand is being represented to others in the most honorable way. 

If it’s not you who is doing the networking, your team needs someone who is eagerly and consistently cultivating relationships, bringing new valuable people into your circles. You need someone on your team who is always looking for new connections: a people multiplier!
