		<description>Hi Amber,
Great post. The phrase &quot;It isn&#039;t what you know, but who you know&quot; rings true. There is a fine line between a true connection and acquiescence, and then just name dropping. However, in any project or endeavor I have ever set out to do, it manifests because of the people and connections I have made. 

And lastly, something we sometimes forget, &quot;Don&#039;t Burn Bridges&quot;

		<description>I just came acrossed you on Twitter and the first of your posts I read was right on mark.  I like to think of myself as a &quot;Business Guy&quot; but not a Always Be Closing Business Guy but a Relationship Driven Business Guy.  It is critical to get to know someone and build trust before any meaningful business can even be considered.  Only by letting someone in can you build trust both in you and in others.
