20 days of Building a Network That Works For You Day 1: Relationships Are Currency A friend of mine once called me in tears. She had missed out on her dream role. Not because she lacked skills. She was brilliant and qualified. But when the opportunity came, it went to someone else, someone less qualified but connected. I watched her work hard for years, believing expertise alone was enough. I advised her to start building relationships in her industry, but she didn’t listen. She thought networking was unnecessary. Until reality proved otherwise. Eventually, she came back, ready to learn. She began: ✅ Showing up where industry leaders gathered (online & offline). ✅ Commenting with insight, not just scrolling. ✅ Sharing value and celebrating others publicly. ✅ Staying connected, even when she didn’t need anything. The next opportunity? She didn’t chase it. It found her. Your network is your currency. Skills will qualify you, but relationships will position you. Most people wait until they need opportunities before they start networking. By then, it’s often too late. Build relationships before you need them, so they will be there when you do. Have you ever missed opportunities and seen others get it to simply because they had the right connections? --- I’m Kate Orock, Networking Coach. I help professionals connect, grow, and leverage their network for career success. I’ve also authored Network Like a Pro, your practical, clear guide to building meaningful professional relationships. DM me if you’re ready to start networking intentionally and want a copy of the book. #Networking #CareerGrowth #NetworkLikeAPro #ProfessionalDevelopment #RelationshipsAreCurrency

Do not carry secondary school mentality into university, it won’t help you, it will disgrace you. Secondary school and university are two different worlds. In secondary school, you're spoon-fed. You're reminded to do your assignments. You’re threatened with punishment just to study. You have teachers monitoring your every move. But once you enter university, especially a Nigerian university, it becomes survival of the fittest. Nobody will chase you. If you don’t adjust fast, you’ll be lost before you even realise it. Here are 10 habits you must drop before entering university if you truly want to survive and succeed: 1. Waiting for someone to remind you to read: In secondary school, your teachers push you. But in university, no one will beg you to pick up your books. In fact, some lecturers won’t even take attendance. If you don’t take responsibility, you’ll wake up one day and see an “E” staring at you after exams. 2. Studying only during exam period: That cramming style you used to pass WAEC and NECO will betray you in uni. If you don’t build the habit of consistent reading early, you’ll break down mentally when tests start flying unannounced. 3. Underestimating the importance of planning: In secondary school, your day is structured. In university, you create your own timetable. If you don't learn how to plan your time, you’ll find yourself skipping lectures, missing deadlines, and rushing through everything last minute. 4. Depending on others to survive academically: In secondary school, you can whisper during exams or ‘combine brain’ during group assignments. In university, it’s every man for himself. Even your “bestie” will leave you stranded when it’s time to hustle for grades. 5. Avoiding responsibility: You can't keep living like a child. In university, maturity is key. From handling stress, to managing money, to resolving roommate wahala, you'll need to take responsibility without running to mummy or daddy for every small thing. 6. Believing you must be told what to do: Nobody will tell you when to start looking for scholarships, apply for internships, or join productive clubs. If you’re waiting to be told, you'll miss out on opportunities that could shape your future. 7. Copying your classmates blindly: In secondary school, if one person picks science, the whole class follows. In university, copying someone’s course choice or life path is a recipe for disaster. Know yourself and stay true to your journey. 8. Sleeping on personal development: Back then, you might think “book” is everything. In university, “book” is just part of the equation. Soft skills, digital skills, networking, and exposure are what give students an edge. If you’re only chasing grades, you’re already behind. 9. Wasting free time on nothing: In secondary school, your free time is limited. In uni, you’ll have stretches of free time, and that’s where most people mess up. Netflix, social media, and gist will swallow your time if you don’t set boundaries. 10. Thinking you have to please everyone: You’re not going to university to be liked. You’re going to build your life. Stop trying to impress everyone. Focus on your growth, your goals, and your peace. University is not secondary school with freedom. It’s life on another level. Drop these habits now before they drop you later. If you're still in secondary school, read this twice. If you’re already in uni, did I lie? Joshua King✍️

RED FLAGS: How to Shift From Low-Value to High-Value Activities That Leads to Money & Influence Many people are not broke because they are lazy, they are stuck because their daily actions are low-value. Low value actions or activities daily cannot lead to influence and high income. Here is how (10 strategies to apply) to shift from low value activities to high value, money making, influence building moves starting today. Most people wake up into distraction and hustle into nothingness. They stay “busy” doing what keeps them broke, obscure, and overworked. In this quick strategy content, I’ll show you how to restructure your daily life around high-value activities that actually lead to influence and income. This is not theory. I use this, and I have restructure the lives of hundreds of clients through this and more. Let's get started. ✅ 1. Audit Your Day Like an Investor Write down what you did for the last 3 days. Categorize every activity into the following: $0 activity $10/hr task $100/hr move $1,000/hr decision Then ask: Why am I doing what’s keeping me small? Clarity before strategy. This will help you see where you are dedicating most of your time and energy that is either leading to zero impact or high impact. ✅ 3. Identify Your Income-Triggering Activities Many people are clueless about this. There are only 3 that matter: 1. Value Creation (what you produce, teach, or offer) 2. Offer Placement (where/how you sell it) 3. Relationship Building (clients, partners, mentors) Everything else must serve these three. Note: I am currently hosting Gentlemen of Impact, Influence & Income Summit. Day 1 was yesterday. Day 2 is today at 8pm GMT+1. Here is link for day 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vidm_X-6YWE&t=3s Zoom details to join for day 2 and day 3 at 8pm GMT+1 Meeting ID: 883 5775 0906 Passcode: 0000 Join the Gentlemen WhatsApp group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/HEH7vZ35YHO5nwnCJl66VY ✅ 4. Combine “To-Do” Lists with “Power Blocks” I don't just have a to-do list. I have times within the day I block to focus on these core things. I put my phone on flight mode. I am writing this content during my block time. Stop reacting all day. Let's say you are in business... Design 3 Power Blocks per day: - Creation (content, product, value) - Conversion (DMs, calls, offers) - Connection (follow-up, networking) You’ll get more done in 3 blocks than most do in a week. Try it and come share your testimony (smiles). ✅ 7. Put Your Value in Circulation Daily Post your value. Pitch your value. Publish your value. DM people about your value. Do something daily that puts your value in front of people. No circulation, no money. Visibility is a money magnet. You can’t get paid in silence. Comment "I hear you Sir." Free: If you want to elevate your value, download my free value ascension course for free here: https://stan.store/Joybert ✅ 10. Make Boldness a Daily Practice Boldness is a skill and it’s profitable. One of my mentor taught me this. - Make the uncomfortable ask. - Show up when it’s inconvenient. - Sell before you feel “ready.” Your money will never grow beyond your courage.
