Evidence that Networking on iStadia gets You More Business
Some six months ago, Rob Robson called Mike Garth for some help providing sport psychology support to a karting client. Rob through his iStadia network was aware of Mike's strong connection, history and target market in motor sport. Mike helped Rob and didn't expect anything in return - that's networking.
Then in June, Rob called Mike and referred him to a medical doctor (and part-time national rally driver) who was updating his book 'Fit For Motorsport' and was looking for a sport psychologist to re-edit and update the psychology chapter. Mike subsequently carried out the work.
An opportunity then came Mike's way (by other means) to work on a TV programme which involved the co-author of the Fit For Motorsport book. The quality of the rapport between Mike and the co-author was vastly increased by the fact Mike had already worked on his book. This working relationship has increased to the extent that they are now arranging a joint venture between themselves, which involves a major motorsport manufacturer!
Rob's used his iStadia network to get some help which opened a door to further networking and in Mike's words 'Rob opened a opened a door, but without that open door, would I now be arranging this powerful joint venture?' The answer is clearly no. The true value of networking is to provide help without expecting anything in return but the more you help others the more likely they will think of you when an appropriate opportunity arises.
Mike kindly posted this to the Referrals Forum 'to give evidence for the true power of networking and the available power of iStadia to us all'.

It is easy to build your network, just invite those that you might be able to help or subsequently may be able to help you. When you sign in to iStadia, you are presented with your MyStadia - recommendations of those that have interests in similar fields to yourself and all you need do is click on the relevant name. Otherwise you can search the directory for others you may be interested in, particularly those who have complimentary skills to you eg. a physiologist may want access to a nutrtionist, an agent working on a sponsorship deal may need a sports lawyer, a sport psychologist may want to refer a client to a strength and conditioning specialist and so on.
Your network can get you business - it is worth investing the time to build it up.
And if you are interested in the book, Motorsport Fitness Manual: Improve your Performance with Physical and Mental Training by Dr Raj Jutley published by Haynes, you can find it here. Mike edited the chapter called 'Spirit'. It is published on 18th December.
