How Global Networking Shapes Our Success

The image above is a memory of a beautiful lunch at Okura Serre in Amsterdam.

We met Marleen Somohardjo at a mastermind with John Lee in Bali last year.

I had no idea we'd meet her again on the other side of the planet a few months later.

Yesterday, we met in Amsterdam to discuss upcoming trends in the business world.

We explored innovative approaches to navigating the ever-evolving landscape of finance and entrepreneurship.

That's the beauty of networking and attending high-end masterminds.

You meet amazing people who are worth staying in touch with.

I never network with immediate gains in mind.

I network to meet people with whom I can do business when the time is right.

Sometimes, doing business means supporting each other in entrepreneurship.

After all, making it in business is not easy.

Everything you do at any moment is a sample of your work ethic.

Whether you volunteer for an organization or you attend a seminar.

An attentive observer may always be your next client or business partner.

That's how Shanee Moret and I met.

I took her LinkedIn Growth Course and gave it my very best.

I recommend religiously connecting with people on LinkedIn.

Stay interested in what they are doing and try to help whenever possible.

Be a connector, be a supporter!

The right time for collaboration is best left to the wisdom of high powers.

It happens when you least expect it but need it most if you don't force it.

Meeting new people is an essential part of growing your business.

You can do it online, or in person - or both.

Everything I have achieved was always connected to someone who helped me to the next step.

LinkedIn is the most valuable professional platform online.

What you publish here matters.

Your connections and followers here matter.

Keep your network informed and respect their time.

Don't be self-centered.

If you want to be taken seriously, take others seriously.
