Interview with Liz Lynch, author of the book Smart Networking: Attract a Following In Person and Online
________________
Mike Carruthers:
If you're looking for a job or looking to advance in your career it's important to know that people do want to help you.
Liz Lynch:
But you have to realize that what you ask for has to be in proportion to the relationship you have with somebody. So something that your best friend might go out of their way and walk over nails to do for you - someone you don't know as well may not be able to do that.

Dan Roam:
The problem is that unless those ideas are really, really crystal clearly formed they’re just kind of like big fluffy clouds. We talk about this one for a moment and then it passes away and the next one comes along and we completely forget about the previous one.
