I’m sure that networking is one of the most stressed-over aspects of being independent. As a sovereign professional, as in business in general, everyone says you must network.

Opportunities multiply as they are seized
I’m grateful to David Knowles-Leak’s tweet for bringing me to the 12 Most Lasting Leadership Lessons from The Art of War.

Getting a Job in 2025–Lynda Gratton
