what was memorable about him, just as you do when you
are expanding your business network.

come into and out of your life for a reason. There are les-
sons to be learned and messages to be heard from everyone
you meet. Are you listening? Are you connecting?

x HOW WELL ARE YOU BUILDING z
AND LEVERAGING YOUR CONNECTIONS?

• Do you normally reach out and ask other people for
advice and support, or do you try to tackle things on
your own?
• Do you have a broad and diverse spectrum of rela-
tionships in your active network, or are most of your
relationships the same friends and colleagues that you
have relied upon for some time now?
• Do you take time to leverage your network by creat-
ing linkages from one community to another, build-
ing cooperative partnerships to achieve the greater
goal?
• Do you take the time to connect with others? Do you
express true interest in their well-being and their
ideas? Do you actively listen and withhold any judg-
ment, with the intention of learning and being able
to support them or connect their idea to another net-
work or person?
