Chapter 10: Your Network is Your Net Worth

"Here’s the hard truth: Your network is your net worth. In this industry, it’s not just about talent—it’s about who you know. Building genuine relationships with other artists, producers, and industry insiders is key. It’s about connecting with people who believe in your vision and can help elevate your career.
Networking isn’t about flexing followers or being the coolest person in the room. It’s about finding those who align with your hustle and offer value in return. Relationships should go both ways—support others, collaborate, and offer help when you can. That’s how real connections are made.
Collaboration opens doors to new opportunities, perspectives, and audiences. Don’t try to do everything solo. Even the biggest artists have teams behind them. So get your squad together and leverage those connections.
Bottom line: Build your network, collaborate, and use relationships to move forward. In this game, who you know is just as important as what you know."
