Most people get networking backward.
They try to activate before they:

Educate
Motivate

You may be networking wrong—and it is costing you opportunities.
5 common mistakes:
• Showing up late
• Weak first impressions
• Transactional mindset
• Self-focus over Givers Gain®
• No follow-up
Fix the fundamentals. Build real relationships.
