"To be successful, you have to be able to relate to people; they have to be satisfied with your personality to be able to do business with you and to build a relationship with mutual trust."
- George Ross
This morning, I had a WONDERFUL meeting with Betty Blair, Executive Director, of Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Acadiana. (Thanks Lowell!) In our chat, I found something very INTERESTING to become quite apparent… RELATIONSHIPS are the key to success everywhere!
Betty mentioned that the people in my new COMMUNITY were very inviting and friendly, while very relationship driven. "Everyone knows everyone somehow," Betty said to me. "Perfect!" was my response.
People WANT to know people. They WANT personal relationships. They WANT to share in the success of others. Whether in Lafayette, La, Nashville, TN or Bangladesh, India… people want to KNOW people!!
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
Are you WORKING on building more and better relationships? Not just getting more names in your BlackBerry; rather REALLY making relationships!
The "game" works like this: I know you, you know me; we each know someone else. If you are not in our circle, you have an UPHILL battle to fight. If you DO know them, or me then you are IN (unless you screw it up!)
You may not LIKE the way things work, however, to ENSURE your success, BUILD more, better, deeper relationships that yield the QUALITY you are seeking to provide and attain.
Meet more people like Betty… success is sure to follow!
Cheers,
Zach
