One Minute Networker – Bryan Thayer
Notice
It was a book that had a lot of readers and satisfied people around. Networking in a Minute. The original name of the book is One Minute Networker. However, in Turkish, the word networker or networking is not explained in a single word. For the definition of networking, we can say establishing a connection (friendship, relationship, etc.) with the people around. There is someone around you, you want to reach someone. You call someone, there is the person you need in the network of the person you are looking for. This could be your father, your uncle, your brother/sister. You get the job done by the people you know, not the person you know. There will be an internship, an interview, a job offer, even if you have not experienced such events, there have been smaller events in your life. In addition, this acquaintance with a lot of acquaintances does their own work better and more beautiful with the help of that environment. I wanted to share the articles that I underlined or took notes from this beautiful book that explains the necessity of this for people. Here are my notes;
When you think of an old friend you haven’t seen in a long time, or a memory of someone you used to know, do something! Pick up the phone and call that person. If you can’t do this, write a note right away. There must be a good reason why you are thinking about this person.
As soon as a person dedicates himself to anything, the universe begins to cooperate with him.
Abundance consciousness means “having a full life regardless of your income”.
My friend Jason once told me: “I believe that if you had not been given the talent and skills to make your dreams come true, you would not have been given the desire in your heart.”
If the business is not in you, people will not know that you are in it.
It can be just about anything that will remind someone of you and your company, like a handwritten note or a greeting card. In addition, gain the habit of giving small and innocent gifts. So send someone a card or call them. Don’t ask anything from them. Just send out whatever you want to attract and wait patiently.
The feeling I get when an offer is turned down or I don’t get a tender is very similar to rejection, in a sense, even rejection. But I wouldn’t take it personally, because they didn’t reject me and my character. It’s just my offer that wasn’t accepted. The two are not the same thing, and after realizing this fact, my attitude towards things has changed a lot.
A person who wants to break the stone may have to hit it 100 times with the hammer before splitting that stone in two with his 101st hit. The final hit succeeds thanks to those before it. The man who broke the stone teaches us two things: He doesn’t know how many times he has to hit the stone to split it in half, every stone is different. He knows that as long as he does not stop hitting, all pieces will be broken.
