To grow your net worth, building relationships with colleagues and like-minded individuals is crucial. However, if you’re not naturally social, it can be challenging to break the ice. Here are some tips to help:

• Arrive early to events to get comfortable and avoid walking into an already-formed group.
• Approach strangers and engage with them politely. Identify someone who seems approachable or in a similar situation to you.
• Focus on listening and maintaining eye contact. Avoid checking your phone every few minutes.
• Don’t come across as a walking sales pitch. Instead, aim to create genuine connections with people who share similar interests.
• Take notes or make notes on your phone to remember details about people and their interests. Follow up with them later to stay in touch.

Remember, your network is critical to your net worth. By following these tips, you can build meaningful connections and grow both professionally and personally.
