What Can You Do For Me?

It is said that success in any field of endeavor isn’t about WHAT YOU KNOW, but rather about WHO YOU KNOW and more importantly about WHO KNOWS & RESPECTS YOU. Although when it comes to Networking I think it’s important to remember that it’s NOT about ME, but rather about what I can do for YOU that counts. Networking is after all built upon relationships NOT sales.

I have people approach me and all they want to do is push their business and ideas…

“I don’t care about your business. I only care about myself and my needs. I am obviously the most important person in my life, no matter how shallow that may seem. Do something for me first, even if it’s something small, than once you have won my respect and admiration will I help you get what you want in a big way.”

This may be a harsh way of looking at life, however if people could talk honestly and openly, than I suspect that is exactly what they would say.
