Why Social Capital Matters

"The one thing I've consistently seen entrepreneurs do that has significant measurable impact on everything they do -- more than any other factor -- is manage their relationships and manage their social capital. Folks that do that really well are bound to find some measure of success in some area of their life. It may not be the course they set initially, but there's invariably some positive that comes from it. So I've made it point throughout my own endeavors to continue to find ways to improve my own ability to manage and maintain relationships and to learn from others."
