Love it! I think it summarizes a lot of the things I found about networking: 1. The best way to network is to be a regular. One time networking events typically don't lead to anything. Most people won't even remember your name. 2. Novices to networking expect miracles the first time they do it. It doesn't work that way. You can't build an "acquaintance" relationship in just one session. 3. Deviating from the article, it is my humble opinion that most people don't like networking because it involves dealing with strangers. Strangers are frightening because they are an unknown quantity. The first time you go to an event, you are in a room full of strangers. Eventually as you go to a second, third or fourth event, you get to know the former strangers and their interests and you start feeling much more comfortable. 4. You can't be an empty suit. By the second, third or fourth meeting people will figure it out.
