The value of connections - because someone through a network knew I'd written a book and they knew someone else who needed someone quickly to replace a sick person, I was asked to participate in a Web TV interview with just 2 days notice. In this case it wasn't a LinkedIn connection but another business network I belong to. But it does show the value of connections and getting to know people and what they do, what they are interested in and so on. So important.
Two weeks ago I was interviewed about my new book and about my industry.
