Some weeks ago, I shared as one of the modules through which an enrepreneur can raise finds for his business to include the [TTP Code](https://steemit.com/hive-175254/@uyobong/the-ttp-code-of-raising-funds-for-business-startups). Within the context of the post, I shared further that we can comfortably raise funds for our projects by talking to the right persons, the network which must be consciously expanded to accommodate more people. It is true that If talking to 10 people can't raise the needed funds, reaching out to 50 more, which could still be expanded to reach 100 could.

Many motivational speakers would tell you "sell something" in order to grow rich, but did they tell you that you might create a beautiful and quality product with nobody wanting to give you money in exchange for it? Let me shock you that people don't buy things because its quality, but because they trust the brand they're buying from. Every successful sales is a s a result of a solid relationship between the buyer and the seller.

### Wealth is Created in Circles and Tribes
_"Wealth is Created in Circles and Tribes"_ was  all I heard from my business mentor during the last session we had. Those rang like a gong in my ears and they dis stick to it. As I moved out of the class, several meanings kept creeping through my mind, par of which are unleashed in this blog. We do not create wealth in isolation even in a virtual environment.

Humans are the driving force to every successful business, be it product or services. Sad that even the poor sometimes are the ones who collectively make the rich yet are ignorant of the power that is ion cooperation. Everything in life actually reproduces on the basis of relationship. 

From marriage, buyer-seller, and even creator-curator relationship on Steem. Having talent and skills are not sufficient to bring wealth until there is someone ready to pay for it. Understanding the power of building valuable relationships is crucial for wealth creation.

### The Network Power

Did you count the number of coins in the above image? If you do, they should number over 200. While one person may not own that much but 200 people can contribute it for one or two persons to power their business(es). While listening to a financial expert and a leader of a cooperative, I was awed at the massive profits and projects he claimed to have sponsored from cooperation and within months, everyone had their share.

We do not really have money problem, all we have is a "network problem". Every relationship is a potential stream of income. This being said, an entrepreneur must lookup his list of friends to ensure that there are people who can sharpen him in ideas and in funds. 


### Did you know that your network is directly proportional to your net worth?
Today, we see the boom in the socialmedia technology where people gather to form virtual communities irrespective of their race and background. We can testify of the grand effect of numbers on the growth of the value of cryptocurrencies.
