Even if you understand that 'the connection between human beings and networks will lead to a successful life', there are many people who do not come to a concrete use. Staffing service Pared 's founder Dave Rue uses his experience to summarize the importance of networking, as well as examples of how it has brought about success.

Your Network Determines Success More than You Realize

Rue cited the world of paintings as an example, and argued that ' Impressionists such as Gauguin and Pissarro don't think it was just a coincidence that they had known each other long before they became famous.' You are For example, many of the painters who succeeded as 'Impressionists' were not recognized in the world at the time, and were unable to exhibit pictures at exhibitions , so they were forced to decorate a disappointing exhibition . Among the young painters who participated in the exhibition, there is also Cézanne . Cézanne went to a private school of art 塾 academy Switzerland because he had fallen in an entrance examination of art school, but became a lifetime friend with Monet and Renoir who went there. Cézanne later met the sculptor Rodin and art critic Jeffrova with the introduction of Monet, but this time he received a strong inspiration from Rodin, and was later called the 'father of modern paintings'. It is said that it became.

The successes of the Impressionist painters and Hollywood stars are talented, but according to Mr. Lo, even if they are talented, they will not open the way to success without opportunities. There are not many people who can specifically point out the difference between the paintings of the masters that can be seen in the museum and the paintings of other painters who were not famous at the time. In fact, the paintings of Impressionist masters were initially criticized and ridiculed. Similarly, there are many talented actors and singers in the modern world, but only a few have gained fame. It is no exaggeration to say that having or not having a network that leads to success is the difference between those who become famous stars and those who are not.

◆ 1: Personal connections lead to opportunities
Just as Mr. Roe started Pared, having a personal connection in the startup business world is directly linked to success. It is said that the connection of Mr. Lu was the reason that Mr. Lu was able to raise funds to start talented people and entrepreneurs. A famous example is ' Paypal Mafia'. 'Paypal Mafia' means a dozen or so former PayPal employees with close relationships, including Tesla's CEO Elon Mask , LinkedIn's founder Lead Hoffman , YouTube's founder Chad Hurley , Steve Chen , Jodh Kalim etc. Lou is like a surf wave the moment a personal connection leads to an opportunity. It is important to be in a good place at the right time to ride a good wave in surfing, and it is not good to go swimming there after seeing the wave. People-to-people connections bring people closer to success as they ride a surge.

◆ 2: Build personal connections in a steady way
'There is no royal road to making a useful connection,' said Lo. While social networks such as Twitter and Facebook can easily create a personal connection, sparse connections do not make much sense. The quality is more important than the amount that SNS is not good, and when it works well, you can say that the real connection is the habit of being able to bother you when you are stuck.

◆ 3: work for people
I would like to connect with people who can help others. In order to create a personal connection, it is important to show talent in relationships with people, and it is not important to have financial benefits or to meet directly. By actively utilizing your knowledge and experience to contribute to the network, you can expand the network and make it more valuable.

◆ 4: do not expect a reward
No matter how good you are, people can not follow people who only act for themselves. If you open your knowledge and information without asking for rewards and try to do anything you can help, you will return 10x later. In Japan, there is a proverb saying 'Sincere is not for human beings,' but Mr. Roo calls this 'karma.'

◆ 5: Maintenance of the personal connection is essential
Mr. Roe uses Linkedin, a SNS that specializes in business when creating personal connections, but instead of carefully selecting people to keep in touch with LinkedIn, it is very important to keep in mind the relationship with people who have had a connection. And that. For example, I remember who I met 20 years ago, or just looking at the photos I took with someone made me remember when and when. In this way, by valuing the connection with people, it means keeping value without thinning the personal connection.

◆ 6: Do not be afraid to talk to someone
One time Mr. Lou was impressed by reading a book and immediately sent an email to the author. As a result, not only did they receive an email reply, but they were able to eat together next week and now be a great business partner. The opponent is Guy Kawasaki , Apple's first evangelist . From this experience, Mr. Lou came to think that 'I should never be afraid to talk or get in touch with someone.' After all, even if the worst results are waiting, they are at best either rejected or unresponsive.

◆ 7: Put yourself in many networks
Even if there are many people who interact with each other, if you only meet the same people at all times, your personal connection will not spread further. If you limit your involvement because the industry is different, you live far away, or because it does not lead to direct benefits, your personal connections will no longer grow. By meeting people who are familiar with various fields, the connection between people creates synergy effects and makes the personal connection more valuable.

◆ 8: Take the initiative in becoming a bridge officer
As the connection grows, you may become a common acquaintance of people who are not involved at all. At that time, Mr. Roo actively brings them together and makes them part of a circle of acquaintances. Not only does this enrich the personal connection, but “introducing people to people” itself leads to “working for people”.

◆ 9: give up on people in public
Mr Loe explains that it is important in business to praise and support human efforts. If someone announces a product, they will retweet immediately, and if someone tries to raise money, they will ask what they can do, and if they succeed in raising money, they will give a large reward. That way, sharing more news and promoting people can also be advertising yourself.
