I have not found this to be true, personally. I've established my own network over 30 years by having an attitude entirely opposite to that which you profess is the natural order of things - if you work hard to network, you can make contact with a great deal many people, and luck has nothing to do with it.
We're not all pushed around by the fates. Some of us, push the rock hard. There really are a different set of results in both spheres.

Lots of people want to be talked to but they don't want to take the risk of approaching and getting rejected. Master the art of gracefully accepting rejection and you'll feel confident in approaching people.
- mmjaa 8y agoI totally agree with you - prejudice is the #1 enemy of the positive networker. I would add this: Learn to experience things from the perspective of the other person with whom you are attempting to network without giving up too much of your own personal identity in the process, and you will go very far.
