  • How to Really Leverage Your Network to Propel Business Growth

    How to Really Leverage Your Network to Propel Business Growth
    Jul 17 2024
    Welcome back to another episode of Harmonious at Lunch, the show dedicated to fueling your business success. I'm your host, Brandon Gano, and today, we delve into a topic that might just revolutionize the way you think about networking. With us is Mike Ficara, a seasoned entrepreneur and consultant from The MAGS Group. He shares eye-opening perspectives on why "your network is not your net worth" and offers actionable advice to genuinely leverage your connections for substantial business growth.In this episode, we challenge the conventional wisdom of networking. Mike Ficara breaks down why simply being around successful people isn't enough. True networking, according to Mike, is about building meaningful relationships, asking the right questions, and taking action on the insights gained from those connections.Key Takeaways:Building Relationships Over Connections: Mike emphasizes the importance of knowing the people in your network beyond their business titles. Understanding what makes them tick, their personal interests, and their motivations can lead to deeper, more fruitful relationships.Actionable Networking: It's not enough to attend events and collect business cards. Mike suggests that you need to engage actively, ask how you can help others, and seek out collaborative opportunities that benefit both parties.Outsourcing and Focus: One of the biggest struggles for business owners is letting go of tasks. Mike shares the 80-20 principle: delegate tasks that someone else can do 80% as well as you, freeing up 20% of your time to focus on what you excel at and enjoy.Notable Quotes:"In today's world, networking isn't difficult. The challenge is making it meaningful and actionable.""If you love what you do, you're probably working too much. Start unloading tasks to regain your time.""Develop relationships, not just connections. Know the person behind the business card."Episode Highlights:Mike's analogy of fans vs. entrepreneurs at conventions, highlighting the difference between passive and active networking.Brandon's candid reflection on how the podcast started from his realization of needing a deeper referral network.The balance between outsourcing and retaining tasks you enjoy, even if they seem mundane, like cutting the lawn.Why You Should Visit Mike Ficara's Website: Explore Mike's wealth of experience in growing and scaling businesses at www.MikeFicara.com.
