Once upon a time, there was a king named Iolcus whose brother Pelias put him in prison and stole his throne. His next step was to murder the king's son Jason. The Queen fooled Pelias by pretending to mourn her son as though he were already dead while she secretly had him smuggled out of the kingdom.
When Jason was old enough, he returned to the kingdom to claim his rightful throne. His uncle Pelias challenged him to find and return with the legendary Golden Fleece in order to prove his worthiness to rule.
And so the first thing Jason did was to form a network so he could find the best sailors available for the quest. Next, he used his network to find the best shipbuilder and hired him to build a vessel large enough for Jason's crew and supplies for the long journey. And then Jason and his crew set out for the Golden Fleece.
During Jason's exile, he was nurtured and tutored by his mother's friend, the centaur Chiron. Chiron taught Jason about various plants and how to prepare them for food or medicine. He taught him about the wild animals and how to learn from them. So when Jason and company arrived at the island where the Golden Fleece was said to be kept, Jason once again used his networking skills to locate and take possession of the prized Golden Fleece.
Jason's return to the kingdom surprised his uncle Pelias. Even more so when he realized Jason wore the fleece over his shoulder.
'How did you do it?' his uncle asked. 'I thought for sure, I mean I feared you might die in your quest.'
'I might have if I had set out alone, Uncle. But I had a network of people working with me and looking after me.'
'Amazing. So now tell me more about this network you mentioned.'
'Well, Uncle, it's like this: everybody says they want to know how it works, but few people actually do anything with what they learn.' As Jason spoke, he walked over to the throne and sat done. 'So if you have a few minutes before you have to leave, pull up a stool and I'll tell you about the network and how you can acquire gold, too.' Find Out About Jason's Secret Here
