Networlding relationships start when you clearly express your intent in
the broad sense of the word. Quickly and convincingly, you communicate
your goals and values, and when you do so, people who resonate to your
intent will respond. If someone responds positively and you are able to
establish a Networlding relationship, you can reap tremendous benefits.
Your new partner will not only do more for you in terms of
opportunities but in providing an empathetic ear and a source of fresh
ideas.
In contrast, networking connections are flimsy because they lack
support. When networking, people are bound together because one person
needs another to do a deal or create a sale. One particular situation
binds them together, and as soon as this situation disintegrates or
disappears, there’s nothing left of the relationship to keep it strong
enough to survive.
