As a newer author I really resonate with your point on what success looks like.

I never thought I would need to network as much!

Before I thought it was a "build it and they will come" situation.

Much of your points seem to focus on maintaining consistent mindfulness,

And I like to think it's a big key to all of this. Thanks for the reassurance!

do either of you have top 3 - 5 networking tips you could share with the audience?

Honestly Aman, I only use 1 tip.

Start a conversation.

You did it here when you asked a question.

You can respond to someone else’s comment.

You can participate in threads and discussions.

Just remain intentional throughout the process. Know why you what you want to accomplish with each interaction. That will guide you on the ‘how’ part.

Thanks for reminding me that when my passion wanes, all I need to jumpstart it, is to help others. I crave that automatic action when I reconnect to my purpose! Rumination and dread disappear. This is a tool I will treasure.
