Amy Porterfield on why introverts should network before they need something. Give value first, ask for favors later. Start building relationships now, not when your book launches.
A lesson that I'm even learning now today is the power of networking and really giving more than you're ever going to ask to receive. And now that I'm marketing this book and I didn't realize there's so many favors you have to ask when you market a book. Will you have me on your podcast? Can I come on your stage? Will you talk about my book here? And I'm not used to asking all these favors. And what I realized is I'm an introvert and I haven't put a lot of focus on networking. Sure, I have beautiful relationships. I've been in this industry a long time, but. But I don't know if I've ever been intentional. Now I'm seeing how important it is, because what I don't feel good about is calling someone up that I've never given value to and saying, can you do me a favor? So I think anyone listening now, there's going to be a time where you will be your own boss, you have built your own business, and you're going to want to ask for favors. My best advice I can give you now is cultivate those relationships with lots of value and ask for nothing in return. When you do not need it, you will always reap those benefits.
