Your network is your NET WORTH | Networking tips | Ankur Warikoo

It can be easy to feel that no one really cares about us.

Asking for help is tough.

But no one was “self-made”, we all are part of each-other’s support systems. So how do you get comfortable asking?

In this actionable video, I will share a few simple rules of getting help from people, and make the process joyful for the one helping you out as well. We all, of course, grow when we #help others grow.

People will generally come running if you could tell them how, and if it helped you get there, do let me know in the comments section below.

[harshrathore]

wasted my whole college time and not connecting with people was my biggest loss, but not gonna do this in the remaining 6 months of college, ill make sure I use every opportunity to connect with people and have a conversation with them...thank you so much Mr warikoo :)

Golden words at 6:20!
I realized this myself while mailing/ connecting with people for an internship. I kept writing generic emails about me and literally no one replied. But when I had put an effort on thinking "how can the other person benefit from my work", and when I wrote in a manner which shows that "I GENUINELY WANT TO CONNECT WITH YOU", replies came (positive and negative both).

"If you want to get someone's time then value their time" - This really hit me. Best advice ever. Thanks for the video.

[abhijeetkulkarni]

Wow..This video has actually made me realize
1. The importance of having a good connect within you company and with your previous company's colleagues.
2 The importance of having good connect with your School/College Alumni, which actually made me active in those what's app group now.
3. The importance of Linkedin connections and being a little more active on it.
Thank you!!

Such a good and universal topic you touch on here Ankur - in 2014, after ISB when I had joined management consulting, the word "networking" was so abused that someone like me (introvert) had literally started hating it. But over the years I have realized that if you are genuine, and you connect with people on genuine topics, be real, let your work do the talking and believe in giving as much as you want in return in that relationship, networking all of a sudden becomes easy :)

[sandipanhaldar]

For a long time, I have been hesitant to reach out to people I wanted to connect with. This video really boosts my confidence in doing so. I realise now that networking has a compounding effect and is more of a necessity than a choice.

[Auditing]

Summarizing in 5 points:
1.Reach out
2.Ask
3.Value their time
4.Go through a shared connect i.e., references
5.Engage to/before you connect.
🙏🏻❤️💯

[vrajbhingradiya]

watching it after 4 years and it still feels like!
damn! how did I miss out on such an important lesson.

"If you want to get someone's time then value their time" - This line really hit me.

Thanks Warikoo Sir,
your videos always provide immense value when it comes to real life lessons.

[abishekravi]

Creating content is a science but the way how you deliver content is an art.
Really MR.WARIKOO mastered that.

[sachitsharma]

I watch a lot of content but I never commented. Today you have made me realize that if we watch something relevant or substantial why don't we share our opinions in the comment section, after all, there is nothing to lose but a lot to gain.
This is the beginning of my journey to connect with people whom I appreciate listening to.

[DineshBaragaon]

I stopped reaching out people. I will resume doing it now. It was simply and practically explained. Thanks

[nenaramchaudhari]

I've had never knew we can connect to people in these ways too. It was really a great learning video for networking, explained in easy and effective way with examples.
I'll definitely apply this in my life to build networks.
Thank you ankur sir!!

I just discovered your channel yesterday and since then binge watching! And every video is worth it!

[puja_t]

Networking : " It is proven to work". It has worked beautifully for me. I have genuinely gained a lot from your shared work experiences and advices.
Because you have sincerely responded to all my queries personally, however small it is.. I have always got your point.
I'm so grateful for it.
There's actually no excuse to say "I can't connect" in today's world. You have a way and you have to work behind it.

I'm currently doing a lot research on a cold email just like you asked. Will definitely let you know if it successfully worked or not.

Once i told my friend i found this youtube channel named Ankur warikoo and liked his content. He replied by saying that "you've found a gem. You are on the right path". And honestly, I needed this video. i had this question in my mind for a very very long time

[cvsagar]

Great Video On How to connect Networking .... WariQo..

[coffeewithkrupesh]

Back to back 2 good set of advices from ankur ji... 1) bad truth of relationship 2) networking... It's worth giving a time. Thanks.

[samreenfatima]

Thank you so much Mr Warikoo for sharing your valuable thoughts. I have always been the one struggling with networking, cause apparently I too had this " omg I am an introvert, how am I gonna do this" myth. but hey, thank you for bursting that myth. I hope I'll be able to imply your insights to build my network.
