Description

This changes everything. Anyone embarking upon a new path has no doubt heard that the key to achieving any modicum of success lies in networking: the cultivation of relationships to help us advance or move to a higher position. The message gained from this is that anything valuable in life which involves relationships--be it business, marriage, charity work or entertainment--is only attainable by networking. But this is not only untrue, but potentially dangerous to those hoping to succeed. Within these pages, Mark H. Maxwell will not only uncover serious problems with this single path to success, but unravel the myth itself.

College freshmen are lectured about networking on their first day of class. Young professionals race to another boring party so they can be seen and shake hands with someone that might be able to help them--just like the business books and podcasts have instructed. Creatives are chronically obsessed with and depressed by the number of likes, views and followers on their social media.

*NETWORKING KILLS CREATIVITY
*NETWORKING KILLS AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIPS
*NETWORKING KILLS LIFE
*NETWORKING KILLS LOVE

Christ taught, "If you want to be great -- you must become a servant. If you want to be first -- you must become like a slave." And, Martin Luther King, Jr. made it clear: "Anybody can be great, because anybody can serve."

Networking does not equal success. Serving equals success. Life is not about you; it's always about others. The heart of networking is rooted in selfishness, taking and using. In contrast, great leaders teach us that true success comes through giving, loving others and serving.

*SERVING ERASES FEAR OF FAILURE
*SERVING ERASES CONFLICT
*SERVING CREATES PURPOSE
*SERVING CREATES VALUE
*SERVING CREATES PROVISION
*SERVING CHANGES THE WORLD

Through pop culture illustrations and the author's personal stories as an entertainment attorney and college professor, this book examines the need for cultural change concerning our pursuit and definition of "success" in every area of life. Serving is the key!

Advance Praise

"I knew I wanted to get my hands on Mark Maxwell's book, Networking Kills, when one of his Belmont students quoted it in a conversation we were having over a cup of coffee. What a simple concept: "Networking" narrows our focus and our life experience. "Serving" connects us in a meaningful way and throws the gates of opportunity wide open. Let the adventure begin!" ~ AMY GRANT - singer/songwriter

"Mark Maxwell was an early believer and important counselor for MercyMe twenty years ago. I am thrilled that through his book, Networking Kills, he continues to authentically mentor and counsel the next generation concerning true success - success that is only found through serving others." ~ BART MILLARD - MERCYME

"With Networking Kills, Mark Maxwell is seemingly flying in the face of what the assumed "best approach" is for building a successful career in the music industry ... network, network, network! When in reality, every person doing business - including us creatives - are all truly in the service industry. Mark's call to think about our roles in the context of service is refreshing and spot on. Kudos, Mr. Maxwell!" ~ busbee - Grammy nominated songwriter and record producer (Lady Antebellum, P!nk, Keith Urban, Maren Morris, Jon Bellion, Carly Pearce)

"Mark Maxwell and his wife, Carol, have been longtime wonderful friends and encouragers of Newsong and Winter Jam! I was so encouraged and challenged by Mark's book, Networking Kills. I love Mark's heart for serving and allowing God to do the networking :) Telling His story is the ultimate act of serving." ~ EDDIE CARSWELL, WINTER JAM owner/founder
