人脈を作る能力と、商売をする能力はまったく違う

Is being good at networking the same as being good at business? In this episode, I argue that these are two very different abilities. Knowing many people, joining communities, attending live events, and gaining support can create opportunities, but they do not automatically improve your product or service. Real market value is tested when people who do not know you are still willing to pay. Networking can support a business, but it cannot replace competence. For anyone trying to become independent, facing the market directly may be more valuable than collecting connections. One unknown customer can teach you more than a hundred friendly contacts.
