Route 66 - The Journey Toward Success
Knowing people is not enough to lead to the success that is desired. Many confuse meeting someone with having them as part of their network, and mistakenly imagine that there is enough of a relationship to lead to business referrals.
At any one time the people you know are more or less mutually committed to each other. Some that we used to be close to have drifted away, and new friends have filled in these gaps. To keep old relationships alive and active we must tend to them like a farmer tends to his crops. We must cultivate and care for other people and have a deep interest in their future in order to forge solid bonds.
Invest your time in doing more than meeting people, invest yourself assisting others. Discover the goals that populate the hearts of those around you and find ways to lead them toward achieving their success.
Have A Great Day.

Thom, you're so right! It all comes down to being willing to be the first to "give" of yourself. People instinctively notice that and in general, will eventually respond in kind.
And as with most good things, you have to give it time. There's nothing more of a turnoff than when someone tries to force this process to go too fast.
