I just recently watched a YouTube video from Noah Kagan called "How to Build a Million Dollar Network?".
It appealed to me since building a network is something I've recently started thinking more about.
What I love about Noah is that he gives action steps on how to do something.
And in this post, I want to follow one of his action and share with you the notes I took from that video.
Some of the actions might not be possible at this moment in time, but you'll definitely find something you can act on today.

Be specific:
- In what city/school/company?
- Gender/personal specification
- Category/niche
- Whatever else
Examples:

- "Who is the most amazing person from city/school/company/category/niche that I should have lunch with?"
