One is better or worse. But it’s important to understand the difference.

You've all head it before. "It's not about what you know, it's about who you know." It's a tale as old as time for those in the business space, and the reason being that it absolutely true. The connections you make in your space will lead to opportunities in the future that you don't even know of yet. When you expand your network and are in close proximity to others that bring in your dream clients, it's just a matter of time before that access is transferred over to you. Being open to their mentorship and advice will only continue to open up doors for you, and increase your visibility to potential clients. If you are wondering how to implement these strategies into your business, then this episode is for you. 00:42 — What Networking Is 02:15 — What Proximity Is 06:43 — The Power of Proximity 10:50 — Investing in Individuals 14:42 — Networking Tips 17:44 — Growing with Your Network 21:24 — Key Takeaways Resources: The Doers Portal Team AP Consulting Services Team AP Resource Shop The Roundtable Freebies Dial Zero Marketing Services _____ Into it?
