Networking: one of my worst nightmares (Minisode)

Building your network is a crucial process in any business. Whether we like it or not, we have to learn how to strategically network. How do we make the most out of it? There’s a better way to position yourself in making networking work for you. In this episode, Liz and Andresa will talk about their views on networking and the great impact it has on both real estate and our lives. Andresa shares her criteria for selecting a networking event worth going to. It makes sense - we don’t buy every single property that comes our way, so we must also be careful of how we spend our time and not give in to every engagement opportunity out there. Listen as she breaks down the principles to adhere to in determining the action steps during these events and the effective ways to make an impression even through short interactions. Quotes • “The bottom line is networking is part of doing business. It’s part of real estate. So if I like it or do not like it, I've got to do it. The point is, how can I do it in a way that works for me that I honor myself, and I am also accomplishing what I'm there to do?” (2:15 - 2:36) • “I just don't want to be the spectator [in networking events], I want to get something out of it. I want to make my time worth when I am there. ” (2:40 - 2:49) • “If you are investing in real estate, you are not putting your money in all different properties that come across you. So why are you putting your time into different networking events without having any criteria?” (3:10 - 3:22) • “Select five themes or things that you are focusing on in your real estate, in your business life, in your personal life, and prioritize that.” (7:16 - 7:25) • “Go from transactional networking to mindful networking.” (7:35 - 7:39)  • “When you go to those networking events, just be you. Just be who you are. And then you're going to connect with the right people. Because if you pretend that you're somebody else…you're not gonna get what you're looking for.” (9:10 - 9:32) InvestHER CON  Time: June 23-24  Place: Charlotte, NC InvestHER CON is a full circle transformational experience created with the women investors’ needs, desires, and schedules in mind.
