As discussed in the previous post already, you might try as hard as you like, but you cannot do much without being connected to people. When you share the load, the resources and the incomes, the chances of its growth increases several times.

The Power Of A Network?
Three years ago, I got the opportunity to read the book written by "Robert Kiyosaki" - The Business of 21st Century. At that time, I did not understand the book in its context much. It took me a third read to realize what he was actually talking about.
Simply put, the power of a network as defined by the Metcalfe's law is the square of the number of people connected to the network. Which means a real network with real values have the potential to grow exponentially.
Pour into this network any kind of business model and you will see an instant success.
A well defined system whose principles are agreed by a network of people will multiply the growth of the network exponentially. This network remains connected to a particular system because the people in the network believe unanimously to the fact that the system has something valuable to offer them consistently.
So, each one in this network grows, because each moves with the similar belief and values, and that 'value' is consistently provided by the network.
Only The 'Right' People Connect To Such Networks
You will also notice that not all become a part of such networks, but only those who have been looking for such system.
These are people who have a profound belief in certain 'values' and have been subconsciously looking to connect with such a system if made available to them.
Any system which is able to remotely promise them such value automatically attracts such people into the system. The process is almost effortless because these people are easily able to extract the relevant information from the system.
So, someone who doesn't have an inclination or is not looking for a particular 'value' in a system will cease to continue being part of such system for long and separate themselves eventually.
Only the 'right' people stay - rest move away.
Such A Network Then Prospers in the Closed Loop
Look around and check it for yourself to believe it. Everything operates in a network, not alone. A network of distributors maintain the entire retail chain market that follow a 'system of distribution' till the items reach the consumers.
A 'network of logistics' ensures that the goods move between the cities effortlessly and reach on time.
A 'network of airlines' operate to make sure they are able to move travelers to different parts of the world.
Almost every online e-commerce business is a network of people who understand that a particular 'online business' consistently provides them 'valuable products or services'. They trust it because they have risked to try it out and gathered that the 'system' has met their expectations in providing the value that they have been long looking for!
By the Metcalfe's law again, such network grows exponentially not because of the 'quality of the product or service' alone, but because the 'network of people' using it makes sure it reaches far and wide.
Conclusion
- A good system not only attracts a strong network but also a consistent one.
- The power of a system will be defined by the power of the 'network' and a good system will grow exponentially, if the network is able to find its 'value' in the system.
- A right network will effortlessly expand a right system.
- The system is as valuable as the 'network' of users.
