I’m currently trying to do something extraordinary, even by my standards!
It’s a potential deal in the US that could lead to some great business opportunities for Asaasco and extra viral powers for a contemporary progressive political movement, if you know what I mean…

Anyway, I really got some serious returns this week from my notorious habit of networking wherever I go. I’d say that building your network big and beautiful is not worth much if you don’t apply the right tools to dig and exploit it. Tools like LinkedIn and Facebook are really great for this and the two complement each other perfectly – revealing secondary networks, professional profiles as well as persona.

It’s also becoming very clear to me that there is no such thing as “worthless networking”. Why? Because a great opportunity is almost never hiding behind one single contact, i.e. it’s not the individuals them selves that will empower you – it’s the cluster of people you manage to create and the connections between them. This is right now happening in a very fascinating way in my network of friends and professionals. Nodes are being connected to create an entity of people working for a common cause. It fills my heart with gratitude and love!

Thank you for making it happen!
