1 Define your goals

Before you start reaching out to potential contacts, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve with your network. Do you want to learn new skills, find a mentor, get feedback, collaborate on projects, or explore new opportunities? Having a specific goal will help you identify who you should target, what you can offer them, and how you can communicate your value proposition. It will also help you measure your progress and evaluate your results.
