A strong supportive network is key to your success as an entrepreneur. Here are a few tactics that worked for me:
1. I created a shortlist of high value connections (key executives, investors, experts etc.) which I personally update on progress, trends and opportunities.
2. I've prioritized adding value through mentorship, leadership, pitch deck feedback etc. without asking for anything back.
3. Convey a win-win mindset, and simply ask your connections - "What are your current goals? What can I do to help?"
One key learning from my journey - Keep in open mindset about people's abilities to help, you never know who will introduce a game-changing opportunity or resource.

The most effective way to keep my network informed is based on the social network they are on. Usually it is on LinkedIn - so I post regularly to make sure they follow up.
Also, we send out a quarterly newsletter with updates.
I also check in on people regularly to make sure we have that open conversation.

To keep your network engaged and supportive during your entrepreneurial journey, prioritize regular communication. Share updates on your progress, challenges, and successes through newsletters, social media, or personal messages. Organize virtual or in-person meetups to foster connections and encourage collaboration. Offer value by sharing relevant resources, insights, or opportunities that may benefit your contacts. Actively listen to their needs and provide support when possible, creating a reciprocal relationship. Recognize and celebrate their achievements, fostering a sense of community. By nurturing these relationships, you build a strong, engaged network that supports your entrepreneurial endeavors.

In my entrepreneurial journey, I keep my network engaged by maintaining transparent communication and sharing both my successes and challenges, creating a sense of shared progress. I actively seek feedback, showing that I value their perspectives, and I look for opportunities to support them in return, whether through collaborations, resources, or connections. I believe that a strong network thrives on mutual growth, so I prioritize creating value and staying connected through meaningful interactions, ensuring that my journey is not just about personal achievements but about building a supportive community that grows together
