Nkiru Olumide-Ojo tweeted something very powerful and instructive: "Great networks are built in helping people not knowing people."
If you desire to build great networks in this life, you start by sowing the seed of honour that is called 'Help' into the lives of people and tomorrow when they become great they will become your networks.
I think this is very powerful.
So, beyond trying to know great people, start creating your own network of great people today by helping people. You simply need to listen to this message to know how, what, where and who to give your seeds to, profitably.
