Take a minute each day to call or email someone to express gratitude of some type. Consider someone you haven’t spoken with in a long time. It can be a one-line text or a 5-second voice note.

Paul Graham on why ambitious people need each other.

The art of having good conversations, improving your business, and helping others by focusing on relationships.

Networking isn’t as mysterious as it is made out to be. It is simply talking intentionally to someone who could potentially help you in business.

That’s it.

A better way to “network:”

Send more cold emails. Don’t ask for anything. Express gratitude for their work. Never expect something in return.

Do this for years.

Make friends ...
