You get pressured into making intros

A lot of your success will depend on with whom you associate. There are people who ask you to make introductions for them or be a reference for them—people whom you know, in your gut, aren’t great at what they do. But, you want to be nice, so you make those intros and you are that reference. And then, that hurts your reputation.
