Listen Later

Have you ever wondered if who you know matters more than what you know? This question lies at the heart of a transformative conversation with Janice Porter, a relationship marketing strategist who turned her teaching career into a thriving business built on connections.

Janice’s journey—from elementary school teacher to LinkedIn specialist—offers valuable insights for anyone feeling stuck or uncertain about their next career chapter, especially midlife professionals considering a change. She shares how the limitations of the school system led her to pursue a completely new path in business, ultimately building a successful career helping others leverage relationships for growth.

In this episode, Janice demystifies relationship marketing and explains how to harness the power of Linkedin as a networking tool. With her philosophy of “sending out to give, not to get,” she redefines traditional networking, emphasizing authentic connections and long-lasting business relationships. Janice offers actionable strategies for overcoming the fear of rejection, maintaining relationships through follow-ups, and turning online connections into real-world opportunities.

If you’re worried you’re “too old” to start something new, Janice has a message for you: " You've got wisdom to offer." She celebrates how experience, when paired with curiosity and openness, is the ultimate advantage. Ready to tap into the power of relationships? Tune in to discover how shifting your mindset and embracing connection could be the game changer in your career and life satisfaction.
