18. Networking
Whether you own a business or simply want to grow, networking is essential. Usually, people network at events over a few cocktails. There isn’t much helping at these. However, you can network at a lot of different places, including charity events. This might be an even better way to get to know people in your local area because you can meet someone who also has a similar mindset about helping others.

Remember that networking itself is not going to help anybody. Sometimes, it ends with short conversations and a pocketful of business cards you never use. It’s far better to make genuine connections with people based on mutual goals and interests. If you and someone you meet can figure out how to help others together, it will also help you get a lot farther in life.
