I M building community, not collecting contacts.

Wisdom

A network is people you can use. A community is people you belong to. One is a spreadsheet, the other is a family you chose. When the hard season hits, the contacts go quiet and the community shows up with food. Build the kind that shows up.

Carry It

Invest in one relationship today with no angle and nothing to gain, just because the person matters to you.

Ask Yourself

How many of your relationships are real bonds, and how many are just useful contacts?
