Think you need a huge network of people to help you succeed? Think again …
If you think networking is simply about schmoozing at events and meeting people in your industry, think again – successful networking is an art form. “To build an effective network you must be clear on what your goals and aspirations are, how others can help you achieve them and how you can help them in return.

Talk about you positively to everyone they meet.
Provide encouragement even when you’re feeling down.
