Today's topic: How Is Your Network?
Hi I'm Doug Holt with Author Of Your Own Story and this is your daily growth hack
where each day we give you a tip trick or insight to help you up level what we
call the five to thrive that is your mind your body your soul your
relationships and your business so I ask you this question how is your network
now throughout life we have multiple networks right we have our family
network this is our core group of people that we grew up with but also our
extended family so for myself I have my two brothers my parents but I also have
my extended network of family which are my in-laws so that's Aaron my wife's
family as well this is my network and the Czar's family but I also have groups
or pods of networks of friends and then of course we have business networks now
I have several different businesses so I have different networks that fit into
each of those businesses and then I have my network as a whole so you can
consider network as your Linkedin Network what does that say about you or
your Facebook network now what I want you to consider is that we are all part
of that networks ecosystem and within that ecosystem we're in that network
we're either contributing or taking away and this goes for every person so for
example if you have a network of friends let's say these are friends you go out
with on a Friday night and you're going to happy hour and you go out clubbin or
whatever it is you do in that network of friends who are those people that are
contributing to your life who are contributing to the future author of
your own story you who are those people that are also bringing you down see if
you're not contributing to somebody in your networks if you're not contributing
to your family if you're not contributing to your your business
p-part neurs if you're not contributing in a network that means you're taking
away that means you're bringing the network down itself and we all work
holistically within these networks now certainly there was a time in my life
and especially my family network where I felt I had to be a certain way and I
would show up to holidays or or get-togethers and I would just be down
and in fact I would compensate by drinking you know and I would kind of
just mellow me out and just all right just let's get over this day and this is
no surprise to anybody in my family that I did this in fact multiple members of
my family did it but in that Network I was bringing the network down it wasn't
the network's fault or my family's fault it was me
I wasn't contributing to my fullest now when I go I'm just being myself and as
the things that used to bother me just roll off my back and as we've talked
about ways of handling these triggers and previous daily growth hacks but this
can also be said for other networks now I have friends and these are people that
I love but these are also people that aren't contributing to my growth and
these are people that I've let slip away over time and I'm sure you can think of
a lot of friendships that you used to have and used to be really close and do
all kinds of things together and over time you've just let those friendships
slide why is that perhaps subconsciously you realize that that relationship
wasn't beneficial whether it be you're not giving them something or they're not
giving you something now in this idea we look for hopefully we actively are
looking for other networks to join I definitely follow that I want to make
sure that I'm not the smartest person in the room philosophy with my networks now
see I always joke around it's easy for me to do but hopefully it is for you too
and so I'm always looking at people who I can strive for and I can contribute as
well and I approach these networks especially new networks with the idea of
how can I pour into them how can I really give myself what can I do for
them I have a diverse background in fitness I have over 18 degrees and
certifications in the fitness industry but I also have almost as many degrees
and certifications in the marketing field and then we have personal
development or holistic coaching than I do so I usually pick from one of those
three spheres to see what I can really give and contribute to the group before
I ask of anything and I sit back and I try to contribute and just be myself and
if it naturally clicks then that's fantastic I could always find something
to admire in somebody and that's something that I've worked on in it in a
trait that I really really like about myself and something that I've developed
it I hope you can too so what I want you to do is grab your journal and I want
you to write out the different networks that you're in and Stephen Covey calls
this roles right so we have different roles in life that we fulfill could be
father husband etc so this is a little twist on that and I just want to talk
about networks that you're in now networks can be for good or they can be
for bad there's Isis is a bad network in my opinion but there's also good
networks that are out there that could be your church and community
organizations a sports leagues but again like I said friends etc friends can be
networks be good and bad don't you have different
cliques that you hang out with maybe you hang out with these friends this time
and these other group of friends another time I think most of us do and so why
don't you do is write down all of those networks that you have and include your
social media networks because this is important for you that are actually
expanding upon your business and even if you don't have a business you want to
make sure your networking is also happening for you so you can utilize it
and give and contribute over time especially as you're becoming author of
your own story you're gonna inspire people beyond your scope of knowledge
and beyond the people that you can actually physically see so what I want
to do is grab your journal like I said write down your different networks
church organizations family friends write down the different networks of
friends that you might have now also business networks right how many
business networks do you have or employees or employers and what cliques
are within those now within each of these networks now you should probably
have a long list you know a lot of you should have a a network list of at least
20 or more some of you're gonna have 50 to 100 take the time to write out each
of these networks now what I want you to do with these networks is write down are
you contributing are you a contributor or are you a drainer from these networks
also is this network contributing to you is this network positively contributing
to you and the man or woman that you are striving to be does this actually add up
to your values now there's something to be said about loyalty and friends that
you can just confide in you know we're always there for you but what I want to
know is are these people contributing and are you contributing to them see you
can be a bad person in a network or you can be the positive and I want to know
which one you are now as you go through these networks and you're looking at
these and after you've written this down notice which networks
you aren't contribute to and you're not getting anything back from and now if
it's been over time what I want you to do is kind of cross them out or
highlight them whatever you want to do to know to notice them and I want you do
the same for the networks that you're both contributing to and getting
something from now the ones that you're getting something from contributing to I
want you to actively plan a way to spend more time in those networks now the ones
that are taking away from you and you can't contribute to either I want you to
actively plan not to spend time with them you know this is nothing to say
that these people are bad but they're not adding value to you and
you're not adding value to them so you want to break ties as soon as possible
and hang out with people that are actually up level now if you you know I
hear this all the time like Doug I can't find men or women or people that are
that are trying to uplevel their lives they're not trying to do things at my
level or as much as I am I hear that often and I got to say that's BS right
we have the Internet of Things right we can go on to the LinkedIn groups to
Facebook groups there's tons of opportunities out there
in fact the author of your own story has its own group it's active there's
members and they're just like you they're contributing they're learning
and the key to anything just like social media social media is social so if
you're in a grouping or just being a lawyer you're not getting anything out
of it you know you're not contributing you're the one holding everybody back
so contribute today simply introduce yourself or simply just throw a question
out whatever it is be an active part in the author of your own story community
it's a great way to meet new people and expand your network with people who are
up leveling to allow you to rise just even more that's it for me today
