I am sure you\u2019ve heard many times that your network is your net worth! Or you are the average of the 5 persons you surround yourself with.<\/p>\n<p>This is a reality that I understood later in life! I always thought that I could rely on myself to achieve my goals. This determination brought me some results but up to a certain point! Around me, I could see that some people less smart than me but with the right network &amp; connections were getting way ahead of me! I talk more about this in my book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/1999925904\/tag=nucleusofch07-21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Personal branding in the digital age<\/a> and this is in part why I wrote this book.<\/p>\n<p>This reality really hit me when I left my corporate job to start my business. So I started to pay attention and decided to deliberately create my <a href=\"https:\/\/personalbrandinginthedigitalage.com\/networktemplate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">success
