You ever think about the people around you who are just starting to hit their stride? Not the ones who’ve already “made it,” but the ones on their way up. 🛫 Those are the connections that are gold. Why? Because helping someone as they’re rising creates a bond that runs deep. And when they make it big, they’ll remember who was in their corner from the start.

I just dropped a new post all about networking with rising stars, not just the big players. Want to know why this strategy changes the game and builds real, lasting relationships? Check out the post here →

4 Thoughts to Kickstart Your Day

  1. It’s Not About Who You Know — It’s Who You Help: The real value of networking isn’t just about who’s big now. It’s about who you support on their way up.

  2. Give Without Expecting: The best connections come from genuine help. Offer your time, advice, or support with no strings attached.

  3. Your Network Grows With You: As you rise, so do the people you support. Build strong connections early, and they’ll lift you up when they win.

  4. The Long Game Pays Off: Success isn’t built overnight. Help people in the early stages, and you’ll create a powerful, loyal network for years to come.

4 Lessons Learned

  1. Invest in Relationships Early: Don’t wait until people are on top to connect. Build relationships when they’re hungry, growing, and grinding. That’s when it matters most.

  2. Spot Potential Before It’s Obvious: The best time to connect is when someone is still on the rise. If you can see their potential before everyone else, you’ll form deeper, more genuine connections.

  3. Offer Support When It’s Needed Most: It’s easy to help someone who’s already “made it.” But your help will be remembered much more by those who are still climbing.

  4. Stay Humble: Don’t just focus on who can help you. Focus on who you can help. The most powerful networks are built on mutual growth and support.

4 Challenges to Conquer Today

  1. Identify Rising Stars: Make a list of three people in your circle who are on the come-up. How can you support them today?

  2. Give Without Expecting: Offer help, advice, or a connection to someone without expecting anything in return.

  3. Reconnect With Someone: Reach out to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while who’s on their grind. Let them know you’re still rooting for them.

  4. Build Long-Term Connections: Schedule a time to regularly check in with the people in your network. Stay consistent, and those relationships will grow over time.
