“If you’re just starting to build your network from scratch, commit to showing up to at least one or two networking events every week — and attend consistently.
That might mean digging around a bit, depending on your practice. If you’re a business attorney, there are likely tons of business-focused meetups, chambers of commerce, or industry groups. If you’re in another niche, look for civic groups, bar associations, or nonprofit boards. Where are professionals gathering in your city? Where are your potential clients or people who could refer you business?
Every positive interaction you have is a seed. Not every seed becomes a client. But if you plant no seeds, you get no growth.
Relationships take time. Trust takes time. But if you keep showing up, listening well, and making people feel seen and supported, you’ll be top of mind when opportunities arise.
Start today. Stay consistent. Because the seeds you plant now are the business you’ll harvest later.”
