Young Professionals! Its Time to Network! ... Because your Net WORK = your Net WORTH.
The value of professional networking is rarely outgrown or overstated. The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships. Here are 7 networking tips that will improve your net worth:
1. Cast a wide net - Touch base with a wide breadth of people, including former high school teachers, community and religious leaders, and even your friends' parents. Networking functions are another great way to meet new contacts.
2. Be a yes man (or woman). - That means saying yes to as many networking opportunities as possible. That Kiwanis inter-clubbing in another parish on a Tuesday night? Make it happen. A random coffee invite from an old co-worker or classmate? Be there.
3. Be likable. It goes without saying that prospective employers and clients are probably more likely to hire someone they like. Being polite and on time is a start.
4. Be proactive. The only way you can be sure opportunity knocks is to go calling - literally. Call, not pest new contacts. Put the ball in their court.
5. Be a follower. Remember when we suggested being likable? Another way to do this and create a positive impression is to follow those you aspire to become. Follow them on Twitter. Follow their publication. Follow their careers on LinkedIn or in the news. Follow them in every professional capacity you can think of, and then let them know about it.
6. Be polished. Remember first impressions are lasting. This isn’t limited to the outward appearance. It also extends to proofreading every email you send; being polite even three hours into a painfully boring meeting and not drinking too much at that business mixer. It also means not making bad decisions elsewhere, especially on social media.
7. Recalibrate now and again. Your current network may not always be the right one: As you grow and achieve more, so should your professional circle. Success requires replacement.

Featuring a date-less version of the Longines L888.5 automatic movement, the Heritage Military Marine Nationale has a power reserve of 64 hours. link In keeping with its history, this Longines has a solid steel link caseback and drilled lugs, though link the 19mm lug width is not ideal for those of us with strap-heavy lifestyles.
They link are proposed link in two diameters, 38 mm and 45 mm, and available in three materials, respectively in 100 and link in 25 pieces in ceramic, the same quantity in titanium, and in 30 and 20 pieces in King Gold.
During the case, Ono presented evidence valuing the link watch between $2 million and $4 million. According to most I spoke to, this is a conservative estimate."It's possibly the most valuable wristwatch on Earth," dealer Eric Wind link told me. He said it could be a $40 million watch if the right messaging and marketing went into the Lennon link 2499.
That said, a crispy Patek 1463 "Tasti Tondi" sold for $325,000 link and this unique rectangular platinum link Patek sold for link $57,500. Both of these were standouts in the preview –the 1463 for its condition and the 439 for its rarity, and it felt like they could've performed even better. As you'll hear in a Hodinkee Radio episode next week, dealer Eric Ku even called the 1463 result a "little disappointing."
First off, yes, I am conflating Jules Jürgensen and link Urban Jürgensen here. That is not only link for the effect of this article. For most of history, Jules and Urban were linked as brand names, and today they are linked again. So, am I wrong to conflate the two? To be clear, unlike some other family names that are conflated in watchmaking link (Piguet, Meylan), the Jürgensens sprout from the same Danish family tree, with Jules Frederik Jürgensen being one of Urban Jürgensen's sons.
