"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 - Grammy
award-winning singer/songwriter
"I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Mark Maxwell
for some time now. In an industry and culture that encourages us to
be more and more self-focused for our own personal gain, Mark's
book is a fresh and necessary perspective that is desperately
needed. It is natural for us to think that our gifts and talents
are for us. Mark does a great job of leading us through his book
and turning this paradigm upside down. No matter where we are on
the journey we need to constantly be reminded that we are called to
serve not be served." TOBYMAC - Grammy award-winning recording
artist
"Culture teaches us to measure everything through the question:
"how does this benefit my life?" This book does the exact opposite
by changing the question to, "how does my life benefit others?"
Mark Maxwell's book, Networking Kills, is more than just a novel
idea - this significant message can help steer a generation towards
true success. But more than just this generation, I believe it will
help anyone, in any stage, re-evaluate their motivations and
navigate their life back to what truly matters. I know it's doing
that for me." NATALIE GRANT - award-winning recording artist
"In his book, Networking Kills, Mark Maxwell shares a compelling
message that disrupts our current culture of selfish ambition and
self promotion. His message of serving others is profound, not only
because it's true, but because as my friend and counselor I've seen
Mark live it out in his everyday life. His story and wisdom are
instructional and inspirational!" GREGG DEDRICK - Former CEO of
Kentucky Fried Chicken & Founder of Iron Bell Music
"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 -
award-winning recording artist
"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/producer (Lady Antebellum, P!nk, Keith Urban, Maren
Morris, Jon Bellion, Carly Pearce)
"I am grateful Mark Maxwell is bringing this timely message to
students everywhere. In Networking Kills, he dismantles the
networking myth concerning success while illuminating the truth
about finding true purpose in life. Serving is the key!" JUDGE
ALBERTO R. GONZALES, former White House counsel & U.S. Attorney
General; Dean of Belmont University College Of Law
