Never keep score
Over the next few weeks, I’m going back to basics—reviewing some of the best lessons I’ve received from the master of relationships, Keith Ferrazzi. Here are four great gems:
1. The more people you help, the more help you’ll have and the more help you’ll have to help others.
2. Experience will not save you in hard times, nor will hard work or talent. If you need a job, money, advice, help, hope, or a means to make a sale, there’s only one surefire, fail-safe place to find them- within your extended circle of friends and associates.
3. There’s no point in keeping track of favors done and owed. Who cares? Bottom line: It’s better to give before you receive. And never keep score. If your interactions are ruled by generosity, your rewards will follow suit.
4. Each of us is a brand. Companies use branding to develop strong, enduring relationships with customers. In today’s fluid economy, you must do the same with your network.
