My Network Is Your Network...Seriously

You've probably been seeing a new hashtag (#MNIYN) showing up in my posts here on LI and elsewhere in social media. It's not really that new, but I thought it's about time to socialize the concept. MNIYN means My Network Is Your Network. Behind that simple phrase is a heartfelt and deeply rooted philosophy. A philosophy and practice that recognizes that a network of relationships actually gains more value as it is shared. Not just as a means to an end, but as the end itself. If I have a dollar and you have a dollar and we agree to share our dollars, in spite of our generosity, we still end up with only a dollar. On the other hand if I have a relationship and you have a relationship and we find a way to share, then we all gain in the process. So, when you see #MNIYN, please take it at face value and let me know how I can bring more value to our relationships by sharing more of mine. By the way, I encourage you to embrace this idea and make #MNIYN your own. Follow #MNIYN on LinkedIn and through your other social media outlets for connections, advice, collaboration, job search and whatever else you use your network to help accomplish. If our networking philosophy is in alignment add #MNIYN to your daily practice (and your posts) and watch your relationships and your business grow.

5 年My Network is Your Network has been a mantra of mine since meeting the great people of the ENG and being a part of the network. #MNIYN?is the way to network. It is not about you, it is about the relationship, it is about how you can help everyone that you come into contact with on a daily basis, in sales, at networking events and within your company. The ROI on #MNIYN?is immeasurable!
