• You’re exactly where you need to be

You have a LinkedIn account.

You want to grow your network, but you have no idea what to do next.

I’ve got you.

Here are three simple ways you can grow your network:

1️⃣ Connect with people you find interesting.

↳It's not just about numbers but about building connections with people you resonate with.

2️⃣ Follow relevant industry pages and thought leaders.

↳ It's a good way to engage with the latest trends in your field and stay up to date.

3️⃣ Don't overcomplicate it.

↳ Keep it simple and be yourself. It’s ok to tell a joke and have normal conversations.

P.S. You’ll get better at building your network the more you do it.

You’re exactly where you need to be.

It’s easy to see and hear success stories and not see the process.

It’s easy to feel like you’re behind.

It’s easy to feel like you’re running out of time.

However, there is a process to all success stories.

It took seven months into my first job to confidently report client data.

It took seven times for me to attend a networking event and stay till the end.

It took seven years for me to find a hobby I liked.

There was a lot of trial and error, but I got there in the end.

This is just a friendly reminder that you’re exactly where you need to be.

There’s a process to every success story.

Enjoy the process.
