About A Boy is one of my favorite movies. But its message is even better and applies to all aspects of life: You need backup.

Backup as in friends, family, colleagues, associates, and coworkers. Basically surrounding yourself with people you like and appreciate. If you do so it can make life that more enjoyable. It can mean finding a great job (via networking) or landing a new account for a growing company. It can mean staying sane when the tough gets going. It can mean having a blast with others. The more the merrier.

Backup is what it’s all about. If you have good backup, everything will work out. You can’t live life alone and enjoy it to its fullest.
