Hi there! I think this is a great list of potential contacts. I personally have found that reaching out to relatives, friends, and co-workers has been really helpful in expanding my network. I also like the idea of connecting with people from my children's activities or school, as well as people I do business with. It's always good to have a diverse group of contacts who can potentially help you out in different ways. And I agree, it's always better to ask and potentially make a new connection than to assume someone will be offended. Thanks for sharing this list!
