As a young entrepreneur, I have to constantly leverage my network in order to find people that will help out my company for free. This means I constantly go back to UCLA to meet with my friends who are undergrads to see who wants an unpaid internship that will give them a tremendous amount of good experience. Because of this, I am currently a mentor to a lot of people. I have had a much harder time finding a mentor. My business partner Yu-kai Chou seems to easily find mentors who guide him throughout life. Unfortunately for me, I haven't quite found anybody who can be my mentor yet. There will a couple of prospects, but they are just too busy to contribute some of their time for me. Either way, I am constantly trying to meet new people and develop a valuable group of friends that support each other in every which way. Great post and I definitely learned something new. - <a href="http://FutureDelivery.tv" rel="nofollow">Jun Loayza</a> Leveraging your network is one of the most important things that you can do.

That's what prompted me to write this post ... my networking was lagging. It would be an interesting project to make a list of all the things you should "keep up on". I bet an understanding of that list would also lead to an understanding of the anxiety that permeates the workforce these days. I was in the same boat.

This is a good reminder that you need to make network management part of your basic routine--that way you'll be ready for that next opportunity.
