LESSON 3 · Network Without Being Awkward

The Knowledge Share

When you learn something useful, share it with someone who would benefit. Forward an article, recommend a tool, or explain a concept — a few minutes that positions you as a resource, not a taker.

The trick is to be specific. "I thought of you when I read this — it speaks directly to the pricing problem you mentioned" shows you pay attention to people instead of broadcasting generically. Generic forwards feel like spam; tailored ones feel like care.
