061 | Networking: The Easy + Effective Way to Create Authentic, Symbiotic Relationships

In today's episode, we restructure the way we think about networking. We will move away from the antiquated ideas - changing the conversation from "what can I get out of this relationship" to "how can we support each other". By redefining what it means to 'network' we open doors to new opportunities and endless possibilities.

I am a big fan of networking. It has shaped my entire career from internship to in-house and freelancer to entrepreneur. The lessons I have learned along the way have helped me develop a proven relationship building method that helps me focus my network building energy, attention and time strategically. I created a networking spreadsheet template as a guide to help you manage your community and networking efforts!

As freelancers, our network and our time are vital links in our business ecosystem. The community we build and the time we take to nurture our relationships can help us scale our businesses and grow our client list organically and authentically. Trust me when I say, this is an episode you don't want to miss.
