Here to get rich quick!!!
Hey everyone! I’m here to get rich quick… kidding. Just a 22 year old, hungry for more in life and tired of being afraid of getting started. Would love to start networking and build relationships! Also, if anyone has any “years of wisdom” to share with a newbie like me, would love to hear it.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I can’t wait to talk to you all.

Welcome to the community Matthew,
Start going to as many networking events as you can. Find a mentor, reach out and ask anyone who is doing what you want to do, and ask them to meet. I like to try to set up every month a meeting with someone I think I can learn from or who could be a potential mentor. I always come full of questions and ready to learn. Many are specific to the individual that I am meeting with but there are some questions that I have taken from John Maxwells book "Good Leaders Ask Great Questions."
"You may want to use them too:
- What is the greatest lesson you have learned? By asking this question I seek their wisdom.
- What are you learning now? This question allows me to benefit from their passion.
- How has failure shaped your life? This question gives insight into their attitude.
- Who do you know whom I should know? This allows me to engage with their network.
- What have you read that I should read? This question directs my personal growth.
- What have you done that I should do? This helps me seek new experiences.
- How can I add value to you? This shows my gratitude and desire to add value to them."
These can be a great starting point for you
At the top, you can go to the networking tab and see if there are any events near you. You can also find some events on Facebook.
