Relationships are driven by 3 principles:
- Relationship first (80% of the time) Marketing (20% of the time.)
- Create your own personal brand which includes friendship, celebrations and service to show the person you are
- You need to become an expert at bridging your personal touch and high technology.
There are 3
areas in relationships. They are: self,
personal and business. Attention needs
to be paid to each area.
Your
relationship with your self is very important because this is who you are, what
you goals and why you want them. It is
to understand and grow yourself so you can develop your brand and share it with
others.
Some way to
enhance and grow yourself:
- Nourish yourself with positivism everyday
- Read positive books
- Listen to positive cd’s and dvd’s
- Never go to bed after watching the NEWS or watching something violent
- Go to bed after reading or listening to something positive
- Keep a personal journal and write in it. This will give you a better picture of what you are feeling and list positive things because writing them reinforce them.
- Set specific goals, write you I AM statements and make sure you know your WHY. You need to review all of this periodically because they may need to be updated.
You are growing and learning more about yourself so that you
can share who you are.
Personal
relationships are how you relate to other people on a personal basis. This includes: friends, family, people you know and
meet.
Some ways to
enhance your personal relationship:
- Always smile at other, everywhere you go
- Say hello to people and express positive greets such as have a great day
- Let people in traffic, open doors, let someone in front of you in line or buy the person behind you coffee or pay it forward

Business relationships are what you have with
all customers, clients, prospective clients and others you want to do business
with. This can include businesses of
which you are a customer.
Some ways to
enhance your business relationship:
