How to Build a Powerful Network… Without “Networking
Make business connections that really matter with 3 ways you can build a powerful professional network
Trite though it may sound, the adage is true: When it comes to business, “it’s not what you know, but who you know” that matters.

To professionally thrive, now you must be vocal about your interests and career goals to build relationships with like-minded individuals you can turn to as a resource and who may even be in the position to help you.
