Network Determines Success More Than People Realize

Not everyone can have that type of shared experience, but there are other ways you can build your network with authentic connections:
Create Value for Others
People want to connect with you if you have something of value to offer. When you create value for others, people will want to connect with you which will in turn increase the size and value of your network = Flywheel. Stay Connected
Add people on LinkedIn because it is how other people will find value in your network.
