'The distance between your dreams and reality is called action.' - Ben Francia
It is not always easy to find the motivation to network and take actions in your life.
After a long day in the office, you probably want to go home, hit the pub or exercise. It’s something normal and happens to everyone; it is therefore important to understand why you network and define clear objectives to make sure you stay motivated.
Self-motivation is key, you do networking for you and for your projects.
Don’t wait for others or for the right time...
According to the Business Dictionary, self-motivation is “the ability to do what needs to be done, without influence from other people or situations. People with self-motivation can find a reason and strength to complete a task, even when challenging, without giving up or needing another to encourage them.”
The minute you think of giving up, think of the reasons why you held on so long.
Knowing why you are networking will be your driving force so ask yourself the right questions now:
Are you looking to find another job?
Do you want to climb the career ladder?
Do you want to have more clients?
Do you want to be part of a community?
Do you want to start a new business?
Once you have set yourself clear goals, what is missing is to get ready and start networking. Sometimes later becomes never, the best time to take action is now!
