The key to networks is it's what you put into the network, not what you take out.
00:00:04
>> Yeah. >> So, the people who have the best networks I've ever seen are always the
00:00:07
people say, "How can I help you? Hey, I've got something for you. You should meet so and so." Never.
00:00:12
>> Hey, listen. What can you do for me? >> Yeah. >> That comes back. Karma flows back.
00:00:16
Always give as much into the network as possible and the network gives back. >> Funnily enough, about a month ago, I
00:00:21
said, "Oh, I've got this idea to do this thing." And Harry turned around to me 30
00:00:25
seconds within WhatsApp and said, "Oh, I know insert name of this person who's the very top in investing in Europe.
00:00:32
I'll put you in a WhatsApp group with him." Put me in a WhatsApp group with this guy. Sent a voice note said,
00:00:36
"Steve's the best ever." Then he said, he said, "Steve's way better than I am. Everything." This is literally what he
00:00:40
said. And then he said about the guy who put me in the WhatsApp group. He goes, "And this guy's also the best at what he
00:00:43
does ever putting you two together. Good luck." And immediately I thought, "Fucking hell, Harry's what a great
00:00:48
guy." And then the guy he' introduced me to goes, "Isn't Harry such a great guy?"
00:00:52
And so I messaged Har listen if there's anything I can do for you but that's the
00:00:56
karma. >> Honestly I really believe in networks. I think it's the most important thing.
00:00:59
Your community your network is everything. And the absolute answer is you have to keep putting into the
00:01:06
network because if you try and extract from the network it collapses.
