C2G Challenge: Reconnecting Your Social Network

September 21st, 2009 C2G Leave a comment Go to comments

Build Your Network!An old adage states: “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”

Building and maintaining a strong social network is a major key to success.

This C2G Challenge aims to rekindle old friendships and strengthen bonds that have been worn down by time and neglect…

Popular Kids

In high school most people wanted to be part of the popular in-crowd. We all wanted to be invited to the right parties, have access to the cool crowds, and know the latest gossip…

As we transition to our adult and professional lives, this craving for social acceptance does not dwindle much. This is for good reason.

There is a direct correlation between the amount of people you know and the amount of opportunities you have a shot at.

Large social networks provide opportunities to jobs, love interests, fun things to do and many more.

Unfortunately, social networks do not flourish with out work and a commitment to activities that grow them. This is the reason behind today’s challenge…

The Challenge

I’ve lost touch with many of my old friends from high school and college. My goal is to reconnect with these people who have made my life great.

My challenge is as follows:

  • Everyday, I will  reach out and have two, 5-15 minute, conversations with old friends or contacts from my past. 5 attempts per day.*
  • I will make an effort to wish all friends a happy birthday with a phone call or a facebook message.
  • I will actively make attempts to connect opportunities with people in my social network.

*If my call goes unanswered, I will leave a pleasant voice mail and a request for a call back.

The goal of each call is to catch up, attempt to match opportunities, and brighten someone’s day.

Start date: September 21st, 2009
End date: October 21st, 2009

This challenge should be relatively easy. The only hindrance will be the potential discomfort of calling someone for no real reason other than to catch up.

I’ll be updating randomly about my progress and thoughts on this challenge. I encourage you to join me in this effort to reconnect with old friends :)
