8 Tips to build a Successful Social Network

The question, ‘How can you build a friend’s network that helps you?’ actually asks,’ How do you need to think, feel and behave so that you can have mutually beneficial relationships with others and overcome interpersonal problems with the help of your social network?’

There are different ways to answer this question. One way could be to think of relation-ships as a result of a large number of factors. To be simple, just think of what can help leaves on a tree to keep them healthy. If the tree has strong roots and other related nutrients required are available from soil then tree prospers evergreen. All such things we learned at school that they are useful for its growth. If you cut down any part of the tree either roots or branches, it will have an impact on the tree entirely.

This is the analogy that explains you the importance of having relationships that can help you to in fact make your living comfortably.
