How important is it to make friends with people when it comes to entrepreneurial success?

I've always been kind of a loner, but whenever I've achieved something noteworthy in my life, it's been through my own effort.

I can see if you're trying to do a joint venture or other type of business deal with someone, that networking with that person would be important.

But what about networking with random people with no specific goal in mind? Is that something that is important to success?
