8. RELATIONSHIP QUOTES Networking and meeting people should not be about getting something but instead about how you can help someone else. People like people who are like them or who are like who they want to be. Relationships are the lifeblood of our happiness and success. You can never have enough friends or know enough people. You will experience greater success focusing on doing things forothersthan one could ever have only focusing on themselves. People do business with people they like.

Editor's Notes
LinkedIn is like the “Six Degrees of Separation” theory, which says that everyone in the world is connected by no more than six degrees of separation. LinkedIn is based on 3 degrees of Relationships! 1st Degree – personal, immediate network. 2nd Degree – connected to at least one member of your 1st degree to introduce you. 3rd Degree – connected to at least one member of your 2nd degree connection.
REMEMBER – The Number One rule for LinkedIn is to get started – just JumpIn!!!
