I like the saying i heard a while back
“The best links you can have are the ones no body but you has”
Basically i try and spend an hour each day looking for GEMS! Its hard work but if you find one its actually priceless in so many ways.
Having one “Gem” IMO is better then having several dozen normal ones. Have to think outside the box and find them. It can take months to get a few of these.
