Just as the best time to fix a leaky roof is when it’s sunny, the best time to start networking is before you need a network. 

Don’t wait until you lose your job or start a business – because then it’s too late. 

When you network from a position of weakness, you network with the wrong people or try to rush things.

But when you network from a position of strength, you mix with the right people and at the right pace.

If you don’t have a good network, start today, because a good network takes time to build.
