Create & Cultivate’s Post

You don’t need a bigger network. You need a more intentional one. For years, networking was framed as a numbers game. Collect the contacts. Add the LinkedIn connections. Send the cold emails. Repeat. But the truth is, the most meaningful career opportunities rarely come from volume. They come from the handful of people you build real, genuine relationships with. A few things that actually matter: • Quality over quantity. Five aligned connections will take you further than 500 glazed-over introductions. • Warmth over pressure. You don’t need the perfect pitch. You need a conversation. • Follow-through over follow-up. Anyone can send an email. Few people nurture the relationship after the first meeting. Networking stops feeling overwhelming the moment you stop trying to impress everyone in the room and start focusing on the right people in it.
