Edition 9 - Your Network is Your Net Worth

Welcome to the ninth edition of the Linx Media newsletter!

This week, we delve into a topic that is crucial for both personal and professional growth: the importance of building and nurturing your network, whether it be in business, sport or any other endeavour.

I think both of us agree that the number 1 thing that we have learnt from business is that YOUR NETWORK IS YOUR NET WORTH!

A few benefits we’ve found from having a strong network are as follows.

• Learning from the Best

  By connecting with and talking to people and businesses who have already achieved what you are striving for, you gain access to invaluable information and experiences that can take years to acquire alone. Their journeys can provide you with a roadmap, highlighting the strengths to follow and the pitfalls to avoid.

• Mentorship and Guidance

  For us, developing relationships with people that are in better positions than we are currently in has allowed us to learn and grow incredibly faster than we could have just figuring everything out on our own.

• Opening Doors

  Something else that we have learnt from having a strong network is that there are endless opportunities that present themselves to you simply just because you KNOW someone. For example, a friend of a high value person in our network is looking for some videography, and they recommend us, straight away this is an opportunity that we wouldn’t have access to without a network.

• Credibility and Trust

  Also just the idea of being associated with high value individuals and business gives you a crazy boost of credibility. Think about it, if you have the choice between a business who has worked with industry leaders and other successful people, or a business who has essentially worked with nobody’s, you will obviously have more trust in the business who is associated with other reputable business’s.

The Knock on Effect

The thing about having a strong network is that you are not the only person that benefits from it. Having a strong network around you allows you to offer value to others and grow along side you. It’s a virtuous cycle where everyone in your network can share resources, support, and opportunities.

We would like to give Social Lab a special mention in this fitting edition as they have given us some great insight and access to incredibly valuable informations and resources that they have accumulated over 7 years of operations. This is the perfect testament to building a strong network. We now have 7 years worth of resources and knowledge in just 4 months solely because of our network.

If you can take one message from this weeks newsletter. It is just to Speak to people. ITS NOT WHAT YOU KNOW, IT WHO YOU KNOW! Reach out, have conversation and and ask question to people and businesses of high value. 90% of the time they are more than open to sharing insights and helping you.
