The True Value of Your Network

I read a post this morning from Keith Ferrazzi, author of 'Never Eat Alone'. While it was a short statement, it was also a real epiphany for me. Here it is:

"When I judge the value of my network, it’s not by how many people are in my rolodex. It’s by how many people I can pick up the phone to call and say, “I need help” – and by how many of them would call me to say the same." --Keith Ferrazzi

Can you think of any statement you can make about your own network of contacts that holds more true than this?
