You have to form a relationship to expect people to read, follow or whatever else you want to happen.

Each week I fill out a sheet that 1% club members are provided with called a “Weekly Focus”. It focuses on how the previous week could have been better and items that need to be done in the up coming week to make it a success. One of the sections that it focuses on is strategic relationships that I need to focus on in the upcoming week to “make things happen”. It seems to just focus on relationships that can get me somewhere, though. Maybe this isn’t the best thing, as I want to also focus on daily relationships that don’t necessarily propel me farther in life.
I guess that’s a decision you just have to make. Even though I don’t know what your schedule looks like, there are certain relationships that won’t necessarily help you reach your dreams, but you should still take time for them, right?

What do you think? Also, what are some relationships that are important to you?

    every relationship has value for your future… it changes or grows you.

    this form has value but you may need to use it as a tool to invest in something you did not realize was a goal.

    does that make sense?

  3. As you educate yourself and become a leader or whatever your strength is then you share this with others to help them…………that is a good relationship……..be a mentor, friend or helper first
