…is a valuable skill any entrepreneur should learn. You’ll increase the amount of potential customers, investors and partners through this skill. The real question is whether or not you would do it in spite of the great difficulties that will face you:

1. REJECTION - not everybody can see your worth. Either you don’t project it very well, or you have yet to create it. Either way, don’t be dejected and try again.

2. ABUSE - some members of your network, if you chose wrongly, may abuse your connection with them in many ways (in the Philippines, it’s usually deception)

3. MAINTENANCE - networks should be taken care of. Establishing relationships is not a none time affair. During the start this may appear to be a nuisance, but as one becomes a natural in creating networks, then it would be fun.
