It is one of the stories that I myself heard a lot from the surrounding people. Perhaps it would have been more if I had a thin and diverse experience, or my life was not as easy as a major like me. Even now the word struggle in your mind when you challenge the fate that many youth projects " contacts want Maybe this".
But is this "networking" necessary before starting a business? If it was a few years ago, I would say "yes," but I do not think so.
I once heard a rumor saying that if you are a professor or a big business owner when you start a co-venturer in a lecture or go into a start-up team, you should not join. In other words, when an early company is faced with survival, it can prefer a product (or service) solicitation to a junior or relative rather than a business with a face-to-face ridiculousness. As a result, it is likely that the feedback of product (or service) packed in a cheer pack will be missed, and that there is a high possibility that when the limit of sales force through acquaintance approaches, It may sound ridiculous but it is a horse with bones. I agree that networking should never be my customer.
Naturally, it is true that whatever you start with your contacts. However, it does not change the starting point. Networking is never my prospect but my support force. Let's take an example. Imagine if I was an insurance planner or a car salesperson. I sold insurance or automobiles on my network, but because I know people, I have increased my rebates and discounts, so profits have decreased. I can make money for a certain period of time through my network, but how do people think of me? The same is true of the multi-levels, as are some religions who commit indiscreet evangelism. Using yours to make my interests only makes the relationship go crazy.
Most of the above cases are also the status of individual carriers. What do you think? Do you look good in business because you have a network? In other words, it is the same as having a selfish idea that "I have many people to use for my benefit" when it is advantageous when business is great at most.
Of course, it is true that the connections are really important in business. There should be a link, but there will be an area available, and there will be some areas that can be traded for trust. However, if you want to get the link and the trust in a short time, you will have to pay that much. Therefore, the connections in the business should be a very sensitive and careful approach to the center of "Gib and Take" thoroughly. In particular, you should keep in mind that no matter how close you are in business, you know that you are a junior, you are not just an acquaintance. Time is money, time is life. If I have asked for help through my network in my business, the next time I find a way to help is the way to keep in touch. So even if you have absolutely no contacts in your business, you should refrain from saying "I need your talent, your resources in my business, lend me". If the network is not a volunteer, you will not find yourself first.
If so, the question "Can I do business without any contacts?" "What you need is a network that you make yourself. " Most of us have limited contacts. Let's say you have a prestigious MBA. Are all good motivations working on the same item or working in similar jobs? It will not be absolute. "Networking is the capture of the minds of those who come into contact with the ecosystem in which I have ventured into life as an adventure."
So if your company colleagues, your friends, and your parents say, "What business are you going to do if you do not have contacts?" It's just a matter of worrying about the troubles of early businessmen who have a hard time. If you take your life to succeed, you will be overflowing even if you do not want to make connections. Even if you have been challenged by it, but you do not have any contacts, I hope you are lucky to have my chair turned off.
