1. Quality Over Quantity in Connections
   • Don't treat everyone as a potential client. Distinguish between clients, connectors, and referral partners. Most people should be in your referral pipeline, not your sales pipeline.
2. Alignment is Everything
   • Filter for psychographics and values alignment, not just demographics. Misaligned clients and partners cost you sleep, energy, and money. The right people will pay premium prices and cause fewer problems.
3. Networking Requires a System
   • Successful networking isn't about attending events and hoping for the best. You need a deliberate plan: know who you want to meet, why you want to meet them, what you have to offer, and how to nurture different types of relationships.

"Nobody ever says marathons are impossible. I can't run a marathon today... but they're not impossible. So when people say networking doesn't work, really what you're saying is networking for results is impossible. People are doing it. So it's not impossible." -Virginia Muzquiz
