Although I criticised him a bit in my previous post, here’s again Tyler Cowen on Marginal Revolution (MR), this time in his best shape :-).
First, some advice via MR on networking for introverts. To sum up, all you need is to understand/do the following:
- Networking is an investment, not a nuisance.
- At first, you have to kiss a lot of frogs.
- Don’t spend too much time on it.
- Do cool things.
- Invite people to lunch.
- Go regularly to things you like.
- Analyze your results.
- Find the key nodes in the network.
- Don’t network just for the sake of networking.
Of course you might choose to ignore all that and simply approach people that hate the same people : networking might be instantaneous 🙂 (also via MR).
