When is the time to take someone out of your network?
A rolodex is valuable not just for the quantity of contacts on it but also for the quality of those contacts. My criteria is very simple: As long as a contact is reliable it stays in. A contact doesn’t need to be likable, doesn’t need to be approved by others, doesn’t need to be a friend, doesn’t need to be in constant connection.
All I really care is that you do what you say and say what you do. Only a reliable contact has high value.
