#3621: "Networking" Is A Distraction From Consequence
Networking by itself doesn’t mean I’m making progress. If I’m just meeting people, shaking hands, and collecting contacts without a clear outcome, I’m just staying busy, not getting results. Real relevance comes from doing work that actually matters, not just being seen or known. I have to be clear on who I’m connecting with and why, otherwise it’s just a distraction. In this episode, I break down why networking feels productive but often pulls you away from real results.
Show Notes:
[05:46]#1 People knowing you is not the same as being necessary.
[10:49]#2 The matter is determined by outcome, not popularity.
[17:36]#3 Networking replaces leverage with motion.
