I don';t have time for meetings and networking... and I bet most big players don't either.See people that eagerly go to these networking events, usually are people that need help, that are not succesful, that even though will NEVER admit it... but they see their own system is not giving them the results they are looking for ... hence network events... and most network events are like "Alcoholic annonimous" meetings where it is a huge  orgy of bragging right."
