It's not what you know, it's who you know. The more contacts you have, the more access you have to resources you need. You can barter goods or trade services with others. Be creative.

Write down as many contacts as you can think of and add to that list daily.

Write down names, phone numbers, addresses and e-mails.

Write down how each person can be of help to you. Write down what they need and how you can help them.
