Maria Elena Duron says, “The network. We hear all about having to have one. We are invited to events revolving around it. We are asked about it. But does anyone really know what it is or how to create one?

A simple explanation for why the network is glossed over is because so many assume it’s something you should already know about. If you go into business, it’s an expected feature of you as an employee. That being said, the network isn’t that hard to understand. In short, it is your personal web of contacts. Including friends, family and business partners, your network is who you know. This is why it is so important. It stands to reason that the more people you know and keep in contact with, the more opportunities will come your way.

Unfortunately, there’s not too much training in regards to building a successful network. It’s assumed you pick up these social skills in school, but school doesn’t train you how best to forge new alliances, especially if you were never forced to interact with those outside of your social circle. Luckily, it is never too late to teach yourself how to truly develop a network most people dream of having”.
