An expanded network is your gateway to success. Usually, having a lot of successful people to associate with puts you at a higher step in the ladder of success.
Here are three ways to expand your network;
1. Ask for referrals from the current members of your network
I believe you have some people in your network currently. The people in your network also have other people you may not know in their networks. You can ask them to introduce you to these people so that you can get to have more people around.
You can as well introduce them to the people you know so that it appears more of a win-win situation.
2. Social media is a great way to connect with people
Social media has been known to enhance the connection between people. You could find the kind of people you think should be in your network on social media. Search for their pages so that you get to link up, introduce yourself to them and begin socializing.
The likes of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn are used by people of all kinds.
3. Never stop looking for opportunities
Another way you can get to expand your network is a continuous search for opportunities. Go out there, attend events, seminars, business meetings, political meetings and all that. These events are usually attended by people who may be of help to you if not short term then long term.
Look for opportunities everywhere and in the process, you will grow your reach.
