The Importance of Networking

Building strong relationships is essential for business success. Many people fail to recognize that networking isn't just about exchanging business cards; it’s about cultivating genuine friendships. One powerful concept discussed is the 'who friend,' someone who truly understands your goals and can help you achieve them. By focusing on deepening existing connections instead of seeking new acquaintances, one can tap into a rich source of support within their personal and professional networks.
