AUTHENTICITY

Don’t pursue relationships you have no actual interest in investing in, yourself. Inauthentic relationship building leaves you feeling drained and the other person feeling icky.

Figure out what you can give before you decide what you need.

SERVICE

A closed mouth doesn’t get fed. So while you have your mouth open, worry about feeding others. Surround yourself with other people with the same philosophy and you’ll never be hungry.

Find out who you enjoy serving and serve with them.

TRANSPARENCY

Be transparent with what you need. When you make things easy, it’s more likely people will take action.

Building your networking can feel transactional at times. That’s usually a great indication to check yourself — you might be doing too much to be able to give authentically.

You’re the only one who knows your capacity.
