Notes from a grouchy networker Comments (58) Leave a Comment Hi Penelope, Interesting points about taking risks! Goes to show that whichever way we go sometimes, we wonder about the road not taken. Also, it takes a mature adult like you to admit she made a mistake, even on something as mundane as setting up wallpaper.

It’s the best way to have a meaningful conversation and it’s the best way to rope in a mentor or look like a star performer. It takes a lot of practice and patience to get it "right" and you, your mentor, or anybody else for that matter have a finite amount of time to pursue answers. That rings true to me.

Brief back story: I resigned from a job 2 weeks ago and plan to spend the next 6 months networking and volunteering, working as close to part-time as possible just to pay the bills. In my work with other entrepreneurs, many of them forget focus on the people (the networking and the contacts) who can help them obtain their goal.

Is the most important thing to getting a good network? I've moved three times for a guy, giving up a great network and great job each time. (This, of course, does not have to be true.) And, good luck with the move back home. Question 2: How do I become an evangelist? Do I need to first become an expert? Should I relocate?

Marketers and publicists have made a science out of getting benefits from being a celebrity—sponsors, a fun network, great opportunities that lead to even greater opportunities. I think the proof of this is that gen Y prefers communicating via social media rather than emai l; news travels faster, via larger groups of people.

Next step: Start milking your significant other's network of contacts since they are already impressed with you. I've been assigned as a mentor for a relatively new colleague and this may be a nice sign of appreciation for her work in somewhat difficult circumstances. Send the flowers to your significant others’ workplace.

Fortunately, we have a bitch session network on Brazen Careerist , and Ryan is in charge of it. But I've been writing about my personal life for ten years, and anyway, the people who complain that I don't write enough career advice are always the people who most love to read my posts about sex. I know I should. Ryan Paugh does.
