Your Network Is Your Net Worth | Rick Jordan

Most people get networking completely wrong. Dead wrong. They show up at events looking for business. Looking for clients. Looking for what they can get. That's why they fail. That's why their network stays small. That's why they stay stuck. I built my publicly traded cybersecurity company from being one person 14 years ago to almost 100 employees. You know how? Through my network. Through intentionally building relationships with people who've been where I wanted to go. Finding mentors who've done it before. Connecting with people who could fill the gaps I couldn't fill myself. Here's what nobody tells you about networking. You don't go to events to find business. You go to bring value. You go to teach. You go to offer yourself and see what you can do for other people. Even more important. You go to ask for help. That's the secret right there. Asking for help is the biggest service you can give someone. My friend David Meltzer says if you don't ask somebody for help you're robbing them of the opportunity to fulfill their purpose. Think about that. This is why we're here on this planet. To help each other. To serve each other. To build communities where everyone has a role and everyone can help somebody else. Not to be antisocial. Not to hustle people. But to genuinely care and connect. This is how you build something real. This is how you go from being one person to leading almost 100. This is how you take a company public. Through intentional relationship building. Through serving. Through asking for help and helping others. Your network is everything. Build it intentionally. Serve people genuinely. Watch what happens.
