Life Is Your Playground

Create your Life

What is a network? In this post I’m going to talk about creating a network of people. A network is simply the people around you that you have access to. Like friends, collegues, friends friends and so on. These are people who can give you recomendations for jobs, valuable information, inspiration and much much more. So it is a good idea to create a good network with the right people for your goal and interests.

Now you have propably found out and writen down what you want to accomplish in your life. I know that a person does not become truly great without the help of other people. So the next step to take now is to create a good network around you that will make you acheive your goals that much faster!

So what kind of people do you want around you in your life? I got a great exercise from my coach:

1. Write down what values and qualeties the persons in your network should have. Make some good standards. Write down as spesific as possible for each of these: Friends, Bussiness and Realationships.

“Try not to become a man of success but rather a man of value” – Albert Einstein. The more value you give to others the more you will receive back, so give alot of value

2. Write down your own qualeties and values. What can you give to the table?

3. Where can you meet these people? how can you get to know them? Maby you first have to get to know one of their friends to get trough to them. If it is a really famous person this is most likely a nessesery step.

Start to look at your current network and see who can get you closer to the kind of person you would like to meet, maby you need to meet 10 new people before you find the person you looking for or maby just one.

4. Give some value to the people you are meeting. Ideally, find out what their passion is all about, so you have something they like to talk about. You could also find out their problems and come with solutions. This will create deep conection, witch is ideally in any type of realationships.

5. Keep your commitments!! If you give commitments to others and allways do what you say you will do you are one of those rare people who have HUGE success with other people. Make some small commitments that will help the people around you. That will give you so much back.

The more you give the more you’ll get
