“The fruits of life fall into the hands of those who climb the tree and pick them.”
— Earl Tupper

“Our current economic state presents us with many opportunities – it’s all about how you choose to look at it,” states Kathy Jo Pollack on Selfgrowth.com. She says her focus has always been all about relationships – your relationship with your money, bank, employer, family, and friends.
She goes on to stress the importance of networking, and the value of forming and maintaining a strong circle of contacts. There is no better time than now to strengthen or build your network. A solid network will serve you well for years to come and will be an additional tool in your toolbox especially during these times of economic uncertainty.
