Setting “network more” as a New Year’s goal? It’s not enough. In this episode of The Link Up Lounge, Donna and Tiffany break down how to turn vague networking wishes into clear, achievable actions.

They explore why most resolutions fail (hint: they’re too big or too vague) and how to focus instead on what you can control. From choosing one consistent habit, to tracking your connections and evaluating what really brings in business — they’ve got the mindset and strategies to help you succeed this year.

You’ll also hear how Donna evaluates where her clients actually come from (spoiler: not social media), and how Tiffany uses fun as a tracking tool in her planner.

What You’ll Learn:

• The three types of networking resolutions that actually work
• Why activity-based goals are more powerful than outcome-based ones
• How to track progress and recognize what’s really working
• A mindset shift around what “results” look like in relationship-based marketing
