His section about the fundamentals makes sense. However, I am completely the opposite when it comes to the following:<p>> Some people, after landing their hit, don't attempt to get to know the important people in the new social network. They remain at the same social level that they were at. That means they have to recreate a new hit all over again. That's very difficult.<p>I don't want to leverage a potential social network so I can decidedly make another "hit". We've all seen over and over what happens when "important people" work with the new wonder kid - nothing substantial. If I am able to make a hit once, I want to try to make another hit again using the same drive and passion. It is difficult but possible and I don't need important people to help me.<p>Now, if you find people who are good at the things you are bad it, it absolutely makes sense. I suck at PR/marketing and would love to work with someone who is good at it. However, I don't want to work with someone who will only work with me because I'm momentarily famous. I want them to work with me because they realize I'm hardworking and good at what I do and that would be the same reason I want to work with them. I think this post about leveraging the smartness of other important people is basically aiming for run of the mill fame and not actually a hit.
