I've found in my 10 years as a JV Broker that as you raise the level of your self and product brand, earn trust + credibility, grow your business and show a willingness to work with others, your level of attraction, JV Partner wise, tends to increase along with it.
So establishing yourself as an expert in your field that's willing to share his knowledge and experience with his fellow JVNP 2.0 Partners, and work with them to reach a common goal, is no doubt a step in the right direction, IMHO.
