In this brief YouTube short, the speaker likens building a professional network to gardening. He explains that after acquiring initial contacts, you nurture those relationships—"water the seeds"—so they grow and introduce you to new people. Starting with a small number of connections (e.g., ten), the network can quickly expand to dozens or hundreds as each relationship blossoms. The speaker emphasizes that joining groups is the essential first step, acting as the soil where seeds are planted and cultivated into a sizable, thriving network.

And once you've got those people in your network, then you start growing. That's why we say growing a network here. You know, it's not hunting, it's gardening. So you, you, you know, you water the seeds and then you, you grow the relationship and then they introduce you to somebody else. And then you start with 10 and first thing you know, there's 20 people in your network. First thing you know, there's 100. And then eventually, you know, it'll be a really nice size network. Joining groups, joining groups is, is to me is the key.
