The Power of Building a Strong Network If there is one thing that I’ve learned over and over in life, it’s that you can get farther off who you know than what you know. That might sound trite but it’s been true in my life and those that I know best. Building your network can lead you to career opportunities, side gigs, and chances that you wouldn’t find otherwise. So, how do you build a network in 2024? Personally, I have the most success by combining the internet with the real world. I found my current job by canvassing for clients on a website called warriorforum.com 15+ years ago. Doing good work lead me to go from freelancer to full time employee. I have also had a lot of /success here on Warpcast. I don’t think there is a more friendly environment online for building a strong network. The people and culture have lead me to some incredible connections. So today, let’s talk about networking and how to leverage tools like Warpcast, Twitter, LinkedIn, and others.

building a strong network is something you should build as a key to the future. that said - it's not only online, but it's irl! also, the more experience you get, you'll discover that EVERY industry has people that you see over and over again. you never know when when that person that you engaged with on the plane will turn out to be a person that changes your life i have a close friend who was coming back from a trip and talked to a person on the plane about telecom providers and particularly one that our company had recently engaged with. the person was so intrigued, he decided to switch over their organization to this provider. unfortunately, they didn't have the expertise to do so and issues arose. they contacted my friend and he agreed to fly out and help them get everything working. the telecom organization heard about what happened, and offered him a job on the spot. Today he is an executive at that organization.

Reminds me of a story about Charles Deters. He owned the Snappy Tomato Pizza corporation and 100s of other restaurants. He funded my franchise. One of the other franchisees in town met him on a flight back from Vegas. He was just a server in Vegas but he kicked up a conversation with a really wealthy dude on the plane and by the time he landed, he had an offer to run his own franchise. Charlie did the same thing for me too. He was a wild guy.

This is a cool one, how a random connection made not only made the person switch providers but came to the rescue when problems arose. Then it led to a top tier position at that company.
