When to use it
Use it when you want to build a network around a specific goal, such as moving into a new field.
How to apply it
- Write down one specific goal you want to make progress on.
- List 10 to 15 people who are related to that goal.
- Offer each person something small and useful, such as a relevant article or genuine thanks.
- Share your own work in progress where those people can see it.
- Join or form a small peer group that meets weekly to keep each other on track.
Tip: Lead with contributions, not requests; asking for favours first undermines trust.
