Your network and networking isn't good enough to help you achieve what you want to achieve. "It's all about who you know" and "your network is your net worth" isn't cutting it anymore. Time to take action to take control of your networking! Top quotes: "If you do the right stuff for the right people over a long period of time, that's when the opportunities come your way." "Not that it's a direct correlation: drive 1.5 hour each way to shake someone's hand and they offer you can opportunity. But I know how to not get those opportunities, by not doing those things."
