Did you know that 50% of your experience is in your blind-spot.
That if you went through this world without social contact, you would only appreciate 50% of what you know today.
An experiment documented this fact by having people walk down a hallway, then writing down the things they saw.
No one could ever list more than 50% of the items present.
However, as a whole, all the items were seen by the participants.
If we duplicate this experiment, we get similar results.
Why?
Because you are a social creature meant to connect with others to understand the world you inhabit.
You do not know what you do not know, until your peers make you aware of it.
This is why being social is helpful.
But being social does not mean you become aware. Not everyone knows what you need to know. The valuable things that will help you and your family when it matters most.
This a importance of a network.
Having a group of brothers with like-mind, with varied experiences each with a particular set of skills useful to help you reach your ongoing goals.
A chosen group that you curate so yu get the desired results you want, and none of the misguided takes that could lead you farther from your goals than when you started.
That’s the common mistake most people make when building a network. They think all people are good for them, and they are not.
Start with a crew that understands your views, follows that shared philosophy, and speaks your language.
Life is miserable spending time with people who don’t have all the above.
