How I Nurture My Network
Building and nurturing a professional network is one of the most valuable skills you can develop. In this episode of The Daily Hint, we dive into the power of a strong network and how it can shape your career. I’ve learned over the past 20 years that a network is more than just a collection of contacts—it’s a symbiotic relationship where both parties benefit.
The key takeaway? You must invest in your network daily to see the true return. I share a simple, actionable method to grow your network: reach out to five people you know every day. Then, the next day, connect with five others. This habit, done consistently over time, transforms your network into a valuable asset you can rely on when you need support, insights, or opportunities.
Nurturing your network isn’t just about numbers; it’s about fostering meaningful relationships. As your network grows, so does your net worth, both professionally and personally. Listen to the full episode to get the step-by-step breakdown of how to turn networking into a daily habit that fuels your career success.

Transcript:
When I need help, I have someone to go to and that's because I have a huge network. One of the things that I have learned throughout the last 20 years of my career, I need a network and the network needs me. It's a symbiosis of people that are helping each other. But if you don't focus on that, on generating and increasing, and nurturing your network, you will not have anyone that is going to help you.
Focus on your network and do that strategically every day. And that is very, very, very simple. Start with connecting to five people every day that you know, and then you connect to five others tomorrow. And you do this every day. Even if you do it just five days per week, where you consider yourself working, it's going to be a game changer.
Focus on your network and your net worth will grow.
