Success in the future will be driven by relationships, not content. People in successful networks support each other behind the scenes, not just through content.
Create minimal content to free up time for relationship-building activities like organizing dinners or attending conferences.
Content should be minimal and serve as a tool to facilitate relationships, not as the primary focus.
Giving first, whether through gratitude or support, creates authentic connections and fosters stronger relationships.
Software can facilitate event organization and help relevant people find each other, making relationship-building easier.
Success will be defined by being part of a supportive network, not by having the best content.
Content should focus on facilitating relationships and bringing people together, not just promoting personal brand.
Content seems to be king right now but in order to build for the future you want to focus on relationships. We are told to create more and more content but it’s more beneficial to create the least amount of content so you can focus your time on building relationships with other people. The minimal amount of content you build every week opens up your time to create connections that can change your trajectory and theirs. Organize a dinner, go to a conference. Your content can still be a part of what you make but make sure it’s in service of facilitating what’s really important, your relationships.
