Relationships

I want to start off by saying how sorry I am for not posting in the past week. I was in Orlando at a seminar listening to Robert Kiyosaki, who wrote Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Joseph Micheli, who studies successful companies and writes about the experience they create in their business. You can guess that this past week has been powerful and I have never been as proud as I am today about the direction I am taking with my life. Inspiring, motivating, and empowering people to make the right health choices for themselves and their families is what my dream and vision is all about.

There has recently been one aspect of my life I have especially focused on and that is building relationships. I have on average been meeting a new person every hour and making sure to remain in contact with them to see how I can best serve them. When I offer my service to them I have noticed that they are willing to serve me back just like the law of give and receive. I have met people in PR, media, real estate, graphic design, accounting, healthcare, consulting, and more recently a man who teaches Spanish to employees of an airline company. Every single one of these people are driven, focused, and dedicated to helping anyone who is willing to learn and keep an open mind.

If you are looking to meet more people and expand your network than just say the proverbial "hello" to anyone who will listen. This interaction doesn't only happen at networking groups but it happens every second we walk by someone on the street.

I am writing this because at some recent networking events I have been to there are so many people focused on sell, sell, sell. My focus is to just open up relationships. I find that when I do this the quality of the people I meet increases even though the quantity is not as high.

How many people do you meet a day? Are you getting follow-up contact information? Are you serving for the sake of serving and giving for the sake of giving? Do you uplift people when you talk to them and find out how you can benefit their lives?
