Watched Shark tank yesterday, and one entrepreneur said he needed the sharks' help because "it's not what you know, it's who you know." One of the sharks, Robert, said he disagreed with that quote because when he started, he didn't have connections but still made it. He goes on to say, "it's what you make of what you have."
I understand Robert's point but also totally disagree. Yes, you can succeed without connections, but connections will help you reach your goal way faster. I know too many dumbasses that are where they are because of their connections.
What do y'all think?
