How to Build Your Networth Through Your Network

‘If you follow these steps you will be able to quickly build your network, your power team and make some great friends in property’ In this episode, Simon explains the value of networking and how powerful your network can be. He held the very first dedicated networking event for property investors in the UK. It was held in Birmingham and marked the beginning of the Property Investors Network (pin) which now holds regular network meetings across the UK. Through network meetings, he has met suppliers, JV partners, people who’ve become clients and some of his very best friends. He has a special offer that means you can attend your first ‘pin’ meeting at no cost, just use the code ‘podcast’ when you are booking your place online This is a great opportunity to get involved with ‘pin’ and once you’ve been you’ll want to go back every month to get your boost of property positivity.   KEY TAKEAWAYS When I began as a property investor, having left my corporate job, I found I was quite isolated and lonely. So, meeting with other entrepreneurs on a regular basis was appealing and helped me to build my power network, people I needed for my business, but I wanted to find a dedicated property investment network and network with others in the property investment arena.  It was helpful to be with other like-minded people and instead of having to make expensive mistakes I found it really useful to talk to other people who were doing the same thing as me. I was able to save time, effort and money. It doesn’t happen overnight it takes time to build trust and working relationships but it’s worth it. There are lots of different types of network meeting from casual get-togethers to those with an educational element or sales pitches. Many other network meetings have been modelled on our ‘pin’ structure which is designed to provide informal opportunities for networking along with informative speakers providing value and local professionals sharing updates in their area of expertise. Set a positive intention about what you want to achieve, maybe you need a contact or have a particular question? By going along with a specific intention, you are much more likely to achieve it. Speak to as many different people as you can, that’s what you are there for, to increase your network. When you meet new people make sure you are interested in them and are thinking what you can do for them. The more you give to other people the more will come back to you Use the killer question - Who do you know who……? It gets people to think about their wider network. If you follow these steps you will be able to quickly build your network, your power team and make some great friends in the property space.       BEST MOMENTS ‘Plan to arrive early and leave late, dedicate your whole evening to increase your networking opportunities’ ‘We know you are going to get so much value you are going to want to come back’ ‘Arrange to have further conversations with people and make sure you have their contact details so you can reach out and arrange this’ ‘Get some business cards printed, it makes you look professional when people ask for your contact details’   VALUABLE RESOURCES ·     Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi ·     property investor’s network (pin) - www.pinmeeting.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.
