The Power of Giving with No Expectation

This is the Real Art of Networking

One of the tenets of networking is that you should give without expecting anything in return. The wisdom of this is that by giving—unconditionally—so much more will come back to you. Not immediately, and perhaps not in the way you expect. But it does come back.

The key to not expecting anything in return, is to stop keeping score. This will clear up your mind to be more creative on how you can help others, how you can improve your projects. If your mind is aflutter with who didn’t reciprocate, it gets too cluttered and distracted for you to, well, live a good life.

You will become one of those people who make networking icky, and you really don’t want to be that person!

This is a long-term game.
