Synopsis

You may have heard the term, It’s not what you know, but who you know that counts. While I am not discounting the value of a good education and being generally informed. It’s been said that you can learn the equivalent of a months education from one conversation with the right person. How many calls would it take you reach a politician or celebrity that you need to reach for your cause or to help you with an issue. When you have the right members in your clique, doors just open to you that others don’t even know exist.

The problem most of us have though is not that we don’t have enough contacts. Social media and cell phones have made it extremely easy to accumulate thousands of names in our contact list. The challenge is in getting organized. How do you identify and nurture the important connection that can move your business or career forward.

	1106 Design, LLC Dear Author, You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t know that it’s no longer necessary to work with a publisher—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and deduct more costs on the back end whenever a book is sold. 1106 Design is an author services company. We provide all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher to turn your manuscript into a market-ready book—editing, cover design, interior layout, proofreading, eBook formatting, and more—at the traditional publisher level. Unlike a publisher, we’ll help you obtain print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name so that you earn, in most cases, several dollars more for every book sold instead of a measly “royalty.” We’ll customize a package of services to suit your exact needs at affordable prices ranging from $4,000 to $10,000, depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity. And we’ll manage all the intricacies of book production, so you don’t have to. After this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us. If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. 1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau.

In 1994 evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar posited that the maximum number of stable relationships a human being can maintain is about 150. He arrived at this number by observing factories at companies such as Gore-Tex, Military Organizations and Nomadic Indian Tribes. The significance of this number to your network is that it gives you a target number to work towards. Now, you may have 500+ contacts in linkedIn or 1,200 facebook friends. That’s fine, but according to science and common sense, it is virtually impossible to maintain a meaningful relationship with that many people. And as discussed earlier, the value of the network isn’t in the number of business cards, but in the number of meaningful relationships.

How do you define a meaningful relationship? You should know quite a bit about the people who you have realtionships with. Remember the three keys of relationships, money, Health, Kids. What do they do for a living? Have they recently recovered or are they currently dealing with an illness. Do you know the names and ages of their children? This type of information is what relationships are built upon. We sometimes tend to think that because this is a business relationship, you shouldn’t pry. This assumption would be incorrect. Asking questions and becoming involved in peoples personal lives is where connections are formed and friendships built. Remember the game 21 questions. Every conversation, including the initial one should be that kind of game. If you think about the people who seem to have an uncanny knack for connecting with people, you’ll see that the on consistency is the amount of questions they ask. There is an old saying that people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. That saying is very true here and leads to my next point, which is actually caring.

Yes, that’s right the key to networking is actually giving a damn. Not pretending to care, but actually caring. You may be thinking to yourself that you can’t will yourself to care about something you don’t. While it is true that understanding the motivations and emotions of others often proves elusive, it is an important, if not critical skill to develop while building your network. In Michael Manson’s book, “The Subtle Art Of Not Giving a F—-. He talks about focusing on a few things that we really, really care about and not worrying about the rest. I think his philosophy lines up nicely with Dunbar’s number. By limiting the size of our network intentionally, we can focus intently on the people inside of our network. This may sound a bit calculating, but remember this is just an approximate number, you don’t have to forget aunt Maggie, because she is not part of your 150. You are just choosing the folks you will spend some time getting to know better based on non-random criteria. I use the term non-random to make a point. We believe that our closest friends should be discovered randomly. It is somehow strange to seek out the type of person that we want to make friends with. I argue that an active search is exactly what we should do.
