Everyone knows someone who knows someone.\u00a0 The more people you know, the more people you know.\u00a0 Other than being incredibly ambiguous and nebulous nothings, the preceding sayings intend to mean that knowing more people can only help you in your business, whatever it is.\u00a0 If your mission is to make sales, if your mission is to make new friends, if your mission is to meet your next love, if your mission is to educate yourself, if your mission is to see the world \u2013 no matter how far we\u2019ve come, you can\u2019t do this all on your computer screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
