Networking is important, but only after you've taken care of yourself first. If you get lost in the online world it will eat you alive. Then you find yourself overworked and stressed out. I myself was doing this for awhile. Then I had to step back, drop a few things from my schedule and take some time for myself. I still network, but on my own time. Kay, thanks for commenting and mentioning that people shouldn't be afraid to step outside their comfort zone. That's very important in self development. You’re absolutely right.

Sometimes you are on the giving end, sometimes on the receiving end. And, sometimes you just coast. In addition to the above factors mentioned by Scott, there is one overriding element that must be considered. Those of us who love to network, stay in touch with people, drop quick notes and explore the ever growing world of connectivity on the internet will always be asking for an introduction (and be willing to reciprocate) even if there's a delay because we're busy already connecting with someone else. For those who find this openness somewhat unnerving, they will approach it more cautiously and wonder why so many people want to get in touch w/them. Yes there are different strokes for different folks - - even when it comes to networking. The balance??? For those who love to network - - maybe be more thoughtful of who you're contacting and why. For those who are more reticent - - step outside your comfort box and give it a try. Networking is somewhat like the old playground experience of a teeter-totter.
