How your network creates your net worth

By Javone Jones

One of the keys to success is having a successful network because “Your Network Creates Your Net Worth.” I’m no expert in this field but I’ve acquired enough knowledge that enables me to share with you invaluable network tips to help you further your career or reassure you’re headed the right direction in your personal & professional development.

There are 3 steps you must follow to build a successful network. You can apply these same principles to your personal relationships:

Step 1: Networking

Networking is the process of finding out one’s profession and exchanging contact information. For example, when a man sees an attractive woman, he approaches her to exchange contact information such as phone numbers.

You can take this same dating approach and use it for professional networking at an event, function, or even out in the streets.

For me I have always networked with performers because I put together showcases and search for talent. My philosophy is to network with as many qualified people as possible because networking helps me find
who is serious about a showcase after the first meet or revealing of a business opportunity. The purpose of networking is to build and add to your network.
Step 2: Build Rapport

Building is the crucial aspect of creating a successful market. After you network with someone/ exchange information, you began to see what the person is really all about and you find out how the person can fit into your market.

Similar to the first date, you find out if the person is serious about business or a BSer. It’s up to you to decide if you have a solid connect or a conflict of interest.

Make sure you ask the right questions to develop a successful network. By asking questions, you drop those that lack the ability to follow through with business ventures.
Step 3: Establish A Business Relationship

Now after you go on a few dates, you should want to start establishing the relationship you want in the long haul.

Is this person a bf/gf relationship, friendship, fling, etc?

Follow this same strategy for building your network. As soon as you can, set up what kind of business relationship you want to have – consumer, client, business partner, or connect. This is very crucial for those who are networking with the opposite sex. I’ve networked with many attractive women and it is easy to find personal attraction, but the focus should always be on growing each of your businesses and personal relationships. When you don’t ask questions early on, it can sometimes hurt your business / relationship. Be on the same page.
Building a successful network isn’t easy by any means but it can guarantee you success. Follow these three steps and you will have a very successful market.

Thank you for being part of our network.

Keys To Success: Lessons From Javone Jones


If you’re not on Fromgirltogirl’s instagram, you’re missing out.  One of my good friends, Javone Jones ( representing New Jersey) gives sound advice everyday, especially on business and relationships.

Recently we had a natural instagram discussion on the keys to success.

The discussion originally came from an instagram post where I discussed Chris Brown getting back with his ex Karrueche. Karrueche got Chris Brown back not because she was desperate to get him back but based on him being drawn to her positive attitude. She let go and lived her life.Sometimes you have to do that so a man can grow no matter how much you love him or want him to be there when you want. If it is meant to be, it will be.

Javone chimed in that he hopes I am getting my life together because I’m too old not to not follow through. He is right. It’s about time I get my life together and use the keys to success to get it in order. I told him he just won’t give me a break.

 Javone told me he was happy for me because my career choices seem like on track for greatness. I believe it. Focused.

I told him I am trying as that little engine that could. He told me do say could…do.


He told me:

I feel I need to get on your level, you got yourself established while I’m still in the works. The only thing I got going for myself is the fact that I have confidence and a security in myself to do what I do. Even though I don’t have the knowledge of an elite person, I have better know than the average person in my craft.

I immediately informed him that I’m not established but I’m starting to see results. I pray to God for guidance. I told Javone his confidence and security will go a long way! Believe me, it’s the best asset a person can have in life.

Knowledge can help but street smarts and common sense are far more valuable. I told him he has all 3 ( book smarts, street smarts and common sense).

He informed me:

    That is true but do u know how much dumb shit I’ve done to get to where I’m at? Cost me at times to be a little gun shy. I pray to God that I’m doing right because I can very well fall flat on my face but I have fallen on my face so many times that I’m not scared of it anymore. From what I learn that is a key to success because I’m not timid, I’m making “sure” moves. I set results but nothing concrete. I’m just all in at this point because there is no “if’s”, it only “yes’s” because I truly wholeheartedly believe I’m destined for success and that’s why I’m as confident as I am.

    I told Javone: I’m taking that advice. You give good advice. I pray great things happen soon for you.

    dr_lovejones said”Thank you and I pray for the same for you.”
