I used my connections to get my foot in the door, but after that, I really didn't have anyone that could help me advance. I did get a promotion but I did it on my own.

I believe all our relationships that we have whether in work or in our personal lives have helped us get to where we are. There is a reason that quote exists, 'It's not about what you know, but who you know.'
