Stop Trying to Grow Your Startup by Networking

If it's not time to network yet, then you focus on making something worth sharing. Like Luke, you keep your head down until it's time to come on stage. What “doing the work” means is vastly different for everyone depending on what line of business they are in, but there's one piece of advice I give to everyone, regardless of what they do…

If you're an artist, post pictures of every piece you complete. If you make apps, post screenshots of development, prospective designs, and company updates.

If you find yourself thinking “I need to build my network,” you probably don't. If you have a good product, you'll be able to show up to only a handful of networking events each year to maintain a thriving professional network. If you think you need to build your network, what you probably need to do instead is read a few books and put in the work to make your company great. Networking works when you have something to offer the crowd that they want. Give them something worth wanting.
