The meaning of “network”

By Kaito Dan

· 1 min read

It doesn’t matter where you are from or where you live , “network” has the same meaning in every corner of the world. It’s a mathematical formula that never changes its result: the better network you have, the better outcomes you’ll have in life.

It’s proven, and your life teaches you this constantly:

How many times have you seen others get into charts before you because of their network? How many times have you seen others without skills take a job because of their network? How many times have you seen the word “Cabal” on the timeline?

If you say none of these examples apply to you, you are lying, but you have no reason to.

You have no reason to, because if you are here reading this, it’s because you are part of our network. You didn’t end up here randomly, you were affected by some networks’ gravity. And as Carlitos often says, what matters is “I’m that guy” or “I know a guy”.

“But kaitito, why are you introducing me to the word network, bro? I know what it means.“

Yes, we all know what it means, but we often forget the effects it has on us, and realising them is the first step towards mastering networking skills that will change your life. Once step one is completed, step two is to learn how to network.
