If you've left a company to launch your own business - say a consulting practice, you know this problem: your former colleagues love catching up with you , but how to switch those friendly conversations into new business opportunities. Social capital is valuable. Converting it into actual business is a skill โ€” you want the business and you don't want to blow up a friendly relationship. What the what to do? In today's networking pro-tip, I walk through a real life scenario, an example pulled directly from the pages of my new book - The Social Billionaire. It's the story of a consultant who needed to stop treating her network like a social calendar and start viewing it like the business asset it is. Four specific exercises, pulled straight from the book, provide the roadmap for her to authentically transform her strong personal connections into a significant book of business. If you're building something and need your network to deliver for you โ€” this networking pro-tip is one to read. The Social Billionaire: A Networking Roadmap for Women Seeking to Flourish and Achieve More is available now in paperback and ebook formats Amazon and Barnes & Noble, Inc. as well as in ebook format Rakuten Vivlio Smashwords Thalia Buch & Medien GmbH Link to the newsletter and where to grab your copy in the comments.

Most women will say they have curated a support system. Far fewer intentionally create an inner circle to specifically boost their ambitions. The difference - between social emotional support and champions of professional pursuits - matters more than you'd think.

There is a networking game to be played โ€” and it's not the one you've been taught. For too long, ambitious women have been handed a networking playbook designed by and for someone else. Work harder. Be more visible. Get out and network. Vague advice that doesn't deliver the results โ€” especially when the rules of the game were never written with you in mind. Inย The Social Billionaire, J. Kelly Hoey โ€” author ofย Build Your Dream Networkย and a networking expert who has spent decades working with high-achieving women โ€” reveals what the research actually shows: women who reach the top don't just network more. They network differently. And the most critical difference? They make networking with other women a deliberate, non-negotiable priority. Drawing on years of research, interviews, and the lived experience of women who've ascended the corporate ladder, claimed board seats, launched companies and social ventures, and reshaped industries in the process, Hoey distills the pattern into a deceptively simple framework:ย Focus + Grit + Networks = Success.ย Then she guides you, step by step, on how to apply this framework to your ambitions. This is not an admire-and-aspire book. Grab a pen. It's a hands-on roadmap โ€” with prompts, exercises, and sharp tools to audit your current network, clarify your goals, protect your energy, and build the relationships that will actually move your ambitions forward. If you've been doing everything right and still wondering what you're missing โ€” this workbook contains the answers you're seeking.

This networking inquiry landed in J. Kelly Hoey's inbox - and we suspect it's relevant to more than ambitious job-seeking students. Here's the inquiry: "I am writing with a burning question on how to build my professional network. I'm a first year Bachelor of Commerce Student who hopes one of my finance internships will lead to a full-time job after graduation. I am currently reaching out to people in various positions in different finance companies โ€“ largely Investment Banks โ€“ and the first-time meetings are going well. I would like to know: โœ…how I can keep up contact with them periodically โœ…what I can talk about with them thatโ€™s not just about their company or the news โœ…in general how I can make our interactions less transactional."
