We discussed:
We are all trying to network all the time – get connected to as many people as possible through networking events, twitter and facebook and how Keith thinks this is wrong- we need to look for 3 key relationships.
What are the characteristics of these relationships and how do you find them?
How do you get people to hold you accountable for achieving your goals?
How vulnerability is one of the most important mindsets with generosity, candor and accountability.
The personal success wheel.
