The 10 Greatest Sins of (yes, they’ll cost you big)

This , it’s time to let go of things holding you back.

If you’ve made these mistakes, it’s time to change.

➡️ Handing out your business card without being asked

This is the biggest sin you could make while networking. 
It is an absolute no-no if you want to build a strong .  
The instant your business card is involved, the relationship is transactional.

➡️ Talking more than you listen

The fastest way to lose interest? Monopolise the conversation. 
No one cares who you are if you can’t make it about them.
Take an interest in people, and they will instantly like you.

➡️ Going in with a transactional intent

You may be looking for opportunities, but don’t be desperate for them. 
People will see through it if you aim to ‘get’ something out of a conversation. 
And it is a bad look you don’t want to have when building strong relationships.

➡️ Failing to follow up properly

You met, you connected, and then? 
Crickets. No follow-up, no relationship.

➡️ Prioritising quantity for quality

There’s no point in having 100 connections who don’t remember you. 
Instead, focus on building 5 strong connections—people who trust you. 
Your network should be deep, not necessarily large.

➡️ Treating networking like an interview

Going into networking events with your pitch ready? 
You’ve missed the point. Build rapport, not a pitch deck.

➡️ Networking only when you need something

Don’t be the person who shows up only when in need. 
Relationships are built over time, not at the last minute.

➡️ Ignoring the power of personal stories

People remember stories more than stats. 
If you aren’t sharing a compelling narrative, you’re forgettable.

➡️ Focusing on people you think can “do something” for you

Stop judging people by their title or role. 
Everyone has something to offer.
Network without a hidden agenda.

➡️ Network outside, never inside

True networking stats from within, then with your closest circle. 
Once you have that centred, then go into an open network. 
Always put the most effort into getting close to home first.

Which of these networking sins have you been committing?

A great businessperson works for the betterment of others, and Mr. Ratan Tata was proof of that.

Business is often seen as a quest for profit, and that’s fine.
Every entrepreneur should earn and thrive in their endeavours.

But Mr. Tata made one thing clear for all of us entrepreneurs:
Success doesn’t have to come at the expense of making a positive impact.

He was a man who did good for his nation.
And his respect came from his purpose-driven actions.

➡️ He built a vision for the common man

Take the Tata Nano, for example.
When it launched, it was a game-changer for millions.
This project was meant to uplift the lives of the common man in India.

➡️ He invested BILLIONS for the future of the country

He was committed to fueling innovation.
He believed in the youth and the business backbone of India.
He bought Air India Limited when it was going down.
Ola, Lenskart.com, and Urban Company are just a few names empowered by his investments.

➡️ He had a heart for humanity

But his impact goes far beyond business ventures.
He has poured resources into education, healthcare, and disaster relief through the Tata Trusts.

He led by example that corporate success should benefit society.

It’s about leaving a legacy of compassion.
That’s exactly what he did.

Today, we’ve lost a great leader.
He showed us how to be successful and respected by doing good for others.

So, let’s take a page from Mr. Tata’s book.
Let’s strive to be entrepreneurs who balance profit with purpose, working for the betterment of others while achieving our own success.

Are you a giver?

I am.

I give consciously, but unknowingly too.
I just giveaway value.
I love to give.

And…
I am never in lack.
I am always overflowing with opportunities.

Do you want me to spill my giveaway secret to you?

Because the secret of abundance is in giving.
When you give, you gain.
You might have heard of the foundational philosophy of BNI networking - Givers Gain.

You will never be short of ideas or solutions if you give these to others.

Some people have separation anxiety when it comes to giving.
They are worried about parting with their valuable knowledge.
“This piece of information is for X much..How can I just tell like that…”, - the price tag attached to it comes in their way.

I understand that.

But, you need to share the teaser, if you don’t want to share the whole movie.
Sometimes, multiple teasers.

You can give hashtag
hashtag , hashtag
hashtag , valuable information or even your precious time with an enriching conversation.

Or, you can just listen to someone patiently, let’s say.
So, I leave it to you to decide what all you can GIVEAWAY...

A word of caution though -
Never give unsolicited advice.

When you give, you give to people who really need it..who value it and who will really benefit from it. - Your Giveaway

Why does networking often feel like a challenge in the speedy journey of our daily lives?

In a world where each minute adds a new task, networking can slip through our fingers like sand.

But is it truly the lack of time, or is there a deeper, unexplored reason behind this challenge?

Imagine the countless opportunities passing by right now because we believe there's not enough time to connect.

The possibilities missed, all due to this time factor.

But fear not, my friends!

This post isn't about lost opportunities; it's about reshaping our approach.

Let's challenge the myths and misconceptions that suggest networking requires a lot of time.

Instead of stressing over what's lost, we will now focus on utilising those hidden pockets of time in our daily lives.

It's not about finding more time; it's about redefining how we use the time we have.

Networking isn't a luxury; it's a strategic investment in our personal and professional growth.

So, my friends, let's flip the perspective.

Embrace the idea that in the midst of our busy lives, we can create opportunities for connection.

Together, let's rewrite the story of networking.

"One meaningful connection at a time."

h

In my coaching journey, I've always reminded of something that is overlooked.

The art of making lasting first impressions.

Have you ever wondered what goes on in others' brains during those first moments?

As I was getting ready for my recent Speaker opportunity at TiE Delhi-NCR,
I was reminded of the strategies that could prove to be a turning point for me.

- Preparation : Researching individuals before an event is like having a secret weapon.

It boosts your confidence, making you feel right at home in any conversation.

- Mindfulness and Presence: In a world full of distractions, being fully present is a superpower.

Engage actively, avoid mental drifts, and let your positive energy create ripples.

- Active Listening: It's not just about hearing; it's about truly listening.

Nodding, affirmations, and subtle cues show genuine interest, fostering a connection that lasts.

- Positive Attitude: A genuine smile is your silent introduction.

It communicates warmth, openness, and sets the tone for a positive interaction.

- Decision to be Interested: Shift the paradigm from wanting approval to genuinely appreciating others.

This simple decision transforms interactions, alleviating unnecessary pressure.

- Authenticity: magic happens when you bring your true self to the table. Authenticity resonates, creating a foundation for lasting and meaningful connections.

Now, over to you!

What strategies do you swear by for creating lasting impressions? Let's turn this into a discussion.

Share your insights, and let's unlock the wisdom of our network.

Excited to let you in on some exciting news – today, I'll be taking the stage at TiECon Delhi to dive deep into the world of networking!

As we go through the strong view of entrepreneurship, one thing stands out – the powerful impact of networking.

Today, I'm honoured to share my insights on how networking goes beyond
- Transactions
-Influencing self-perception
- Team dynamics
- Customer relationships
- and Credibility

In an era where relationships are at the core of every thriving business, understanding the importance of networking is more critical than ever.

Together, let's embark on a journey to redefine success by prioritizing meaningful connections over mere transactions.

Let's share actionable strategies, and encourage a networking community that move us all toward success.

I'm eager to turn this session into a dialogue.

What are your burning questions about networking?

Your insights and experiences are invaluable, and I can't wait to learn from each one of you.

A big shoutout to TiECon Delhi for providing this platform to discuss a topic that's close to my heart.

Gratitude fills my heart for the chance to connect, learn, and grow with all of you.

Ever found networking a bit overwhelming? Wondering if it's all about titles and business cards?

So, networking—it's more than just putting on a show. It's about making real connections that go beyond the surface.

Imagine being respected not just for success but for what you bring to the table.

let's break free from the idea that networking is all about fitting into a mold or pretending.

It's an art, a journey of creating connections that truly matter.

Reflecting on my experiences, I've come to understand that the real essence of networking lies in the relationships we build.

It's not about the quantity of connections but the quality—the genuine acknowledgment and respect for the unique value each person brings.

In this ever-changing networking world, success isn't just about climbing the ladder or growing your contact list.

It's about the lasting impact you have on those around you.

It's a journey of authenticity, real connections, and a commitment to creating meaningful impacts.

So, let's change things up.

Instead of chasing numbers, let's focus on building a network where respect and credibility are the real treasures.

Ready to shake up your approach to networking? Let's do it together!
