"Location, Location AND Location" these are the very first 3 rules that any real estate student learns in business schools.
Well, my punch line sounds more like: "Network, Network, netWORK, ...... and NETWORK". This basically is what I need to master as a skill that will never reach its full potential.
To back it up --> According to Cross and Prusak from the Harvard Business Review, research showed that people with stronger personal networks are more successful and satisfied than those with weaker networks.
Each and every person has a network of friends and people that they know. Every one is connected in one way or another. For example, you have a friend who you like to hangout with. You may also have another friend who you contact only when you need some personal advice. Maybe you have one friend who who you like to hangout with and listen to their advice at the same time. And so on ...
You see my point? Now imagine that you have many more friends or people you know whom you communicate with ---> you get a NETWORK
Now imagine that the more relationships you have and the stronger they are, the larger and stronger your network will be.
