Get Around the Right People
85% of your success in life is going to be determined by the quality of the relationships that you develop in your personal and business activities. The more people you know and who know you in a positive way, the more successful you will be and the faster you will move ahead. At virtually every turning point in your life, someone is standing there to either help you or hinder you. Successful people make a habit of building and maintaining a network of high quality relationships throughout their lives. And as a result, they accomplish vastly more than the average person who goes home and watches television each night.
Everything is relationships. Virtually all of your problems in life will come as a result of you entering into wrong relationships with the wrong people. Virtually all of your successes in life will be accompanied by great relationships with good people who help you and who you help in return.
More than 90% of your success will be determined by your reference group. Your reference group is defined as the people with whom you initially identify and associate most of the time. You are like a chameleon in that you take on the attitudes, behaviours, values, and beliefs of the people with whom you associate most of the time. If you want to be a successful person, associate with positive, successful people. Associate with people who are optimistic and happy and have goals and are moving forward in their lives. At the same time, get away from negative, critical, complaining people. If you want to fly with the eagles, you cannot continue to scratch with the turkeys.
Self-made millionaires network continually. They join their industry and trade associations. They attend every meeting and get involved with activities. They introduce themselves to people in business and social settings. They hand out their business cards and they tell people what they do.
And here is one of the best strategies of all: whenever you meet a new person, socially or in business, ask him to tell you about his business and especially to tell you what you would need to know to send a client or a customer to him or her. Then, as soon as possible, see if you cannot send some business their way. Be a go-giver rather than a go-getter. Always look for ways to put in before you start thinking of ways to take out. The very best way to network and build your relationships is to constantly look for ways to help other people to achieve their own goals. Here's the rule: the more you give of yourself without expectation of return, the more rewards will come back to you from the most unexpected sources.
