Great advice. I'm pretty much lone wolf. I have always had a hard time socializing and I know from experience how difficult things can get when we don't go out and meet people who can help us realize our projects.
Friends, outgoing ones, can be a great help when it comes to making contact for social, business or academic purposes.
Even though some may argue that being outgoing is a innate trait, I have this one friend who was very shy when he was young and by age 20 he devloped this magnetic personality that would allow him to get doors open when they had been shut to everyone else.
He told me once it was just a matter of self-reliace and self-respect. Once he convinced himself that he was valuable and deserved everything he wanted, there was nothing to stop him.
"I'd make friends with the devil, if need be," he told me once. "I will lie and pretend I am someone I am not; I'll dance and sing, if that's what it takes to get a deal closed."
I know I'll never go that far, but I understand personality adjustments have to be made if we want some things to flow.
