Burn the Ships

By Dean Letfus

Burning_Ships_at_LosgarI guess I’m fortunate that I am naturally wired to be relational. But in addition to that I have deliberately cultivated a “policy” of never burning relationships unless it was unsafe to do otherwise.

This has resulted in many people I could have easily written off becoming good friends and in many cases people who have helped me make money in my business.

And an interesting development with this in recent times is that I find new contacts “warm” to me very quickly because they hear of and observe my long term relationships in business.

So can I encourage you to think long term about your business and relationships. Decide what is really important. I have been let down and ripped off more than once, in fact way more than once, however what I have gained by trying to work through those issues and by developing trust with people has far outweighed the losses.

Something to think about??

PS: One of those strange, unbelievable timing moments!!  One of my newer business contacts just sent me a proposal for a non property related venture that just knocks my socks off.  And he sent it to me because “I like to work with people I can trust and appreciate the value of friendship in business”

So there you go!!

PPS: The above deal really looks great.  There are 5 slots available, (4 now as I have one) :-) , if you’d like an opportunity to find out about an exciting online business ownership opportunity flick me an EMAIL and I’ll send you the prospectus.
