Even if you gamble, you can’t do it alone. A partner must exist to exchange well-produced products and services, as added value is created only through such exchanges. Without a connection, realizing added value becomes difficult. Wealth is generated solely through transactions, which must precede consolidation. Networking has always been and remains crucial for creating wealth. Metcalfe’s Law states that when connected to a network, the effect is proportional to the square of the number of connections. This results in an exponential effect rather than an arithmetic series. While the number of connections is significant, the level of trust built, even with a few personal connections, is even more critical. To effectively utilize social media, strive to connect with as many networks as possible and build trust in those relationships once connected. Only then can you experience the exponential effect. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Success always has two faces. One is achievement and the other is complacency. There's a term in business administration called the " Competence Trap". It refers to the belief that if people cling to and repeat past successes, they will continue to be successful in the future. Xerox, which invented the world's first personal computer; Chrysler, which missed the SUV market because of the success of the minivan; and Kodak, which invented the world's first digital camera but failed to aggressively market it for fear of losing its main business, film. Humility is not an etiquette, but a shared destiny essential to success. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
