People are powerful. In the age of digital separation and technological segregation personal networks are the advantage in the 21st century. People connected to other people creates mini-communities that allow for business to be conducted quickly and efficiently. If the parties in the network become stale or inefficient, the person who wants to achieve success does not contract the network by burning people up. The person identifies a weakening portion of the person network and asks the following:
Will more resources directed to this part of the network create an exponential result?
Should I remove resources from this person in the network and assign them to another resource?
Maybe I should add an additional person to the network?
Will more time given to this person result in additional network opportunities?
An ever widening and tightening personal network allows for an increasingly profitable network!
The power of maintaining personal networks comes from capturing opportunities and then having those opportunities directed back to yourself with minimum effort and capital outlay.
This idea is a sort of emotional leverage. The advantages are many. Such as win/win, low cost, synergy based on desire not obligation, two heads are better than one, widening perspective, additional help without high costs and increased reaction time.
