Life changing tip

Yes it is not worthless but after two years he needed a result and not just knowledge. The best form of education is duplication and thats what he wants.

Julie Meraud I think it's that only focusing on networking did nothing. He didn't build up all those other things which made him blend in. He wasn't unique, he didn't stand out. But once you stand out, then networking would help your reputation since it's based on other people talking to you.

I think what he meant was that he was merely collecting cards instead of actually invoke any kind of connection, he wasn't 'selling' himself which is why he couldn't get any business. Later on he learns all these different rules and stuff and now he is able to utilise his contacts better.

@@rhythmm6657 Exactly! I was selected to judge a modeling competition last month and I thought, oh this is a good way for me to network and spread my brand to another region and possibly sign some models to my agency. But then the only thing I really got out of it was possibly blogging about being selected to be a judge and I have some great photos that show me judging and interacting with models because my Dad's a professional photographer and I brought him. The models I met weren't any better than the models I've already scouted in my area and as a model manager it's better to work with people that live within 100 models of the agency. I think the photos and the story help establish me as a leader in this part of the country though.

Yes, if I wouldn't have found this comment, I would have written it!😂😂

@@gabrielchis9450 SAME!!!

It's pretty basic information delivered in a very slimy way that derides workers in both education and manufacturing. I didn't find it boring. I found it angering.

strategic networking indeed😁

It is

Exactly!!!

I would agree that it is pretty lack luster and I would even go further to say that it was almost superficial as in surface based. He made good points in selling yourself and building a reputation and being yourself not trying to be someone else but it was all surface level cliches that everyone says. They tell you to sell yourself but it's hard to find someone to tell you how to sell yourself, how to make yourself wanted, and how to find the treasure inside yourself. They tell you to build a reputation but they don't say how to build a reputation, how to go about it in an authentic way, and what to do when we make choices that totally contradict our reputation. And they tell you to be yourself but they I honestly doubt most people even know how to discover and build your own essence, what makes you yourself and not someone else.

Listen to @garyvee

If you already had a bad rep then you have to work from there. Go back out into the world and let them know how much of a changed person you are. Then let them see it through your actions. A statement needs to be made followed by appropriate corresponding actions. If you didn't have a bad rep to start with then listen to his Ted talk again 😂😂.
