  1. Networking is the key to success.
  1. Networking is an investment in your future.
  1. Networking can be learned as a skill and practiced like any other skill.
  1. Networking can be fun if you make it fun!
  1. Networking helps you achieve your goals and meet new people, too!
A strong network is not just about having connections, but also having diversity within those connections (age-wise, gender-wise, experience level). A broad network means that people from various industries have heard about the work you do (or vice versa) and are interested in what it entails (or vice versa). A deep network means that there are relationships within this broad group; these people will be more likely to buy from or work with someone who has a personal connection as opposed to an acquaintance who happens to be in the same industry sector.
I hope this helped you understand how important it is to work hard and be willing to put yourself out there. It takes more than just a good idea, but also commitment and belief in yourself.
