Build friendships as you build your business for increased results

Are you happy in your business?
The lifeline I found in my business was making great friends. It didn’t happen overnight. We met one another in two different groups; Whispering Energy on Facebook and Powerful Women International now in many countries but headquartered in San Francisco CA.
What I like best about my good friends is the success they have found. It’s an amazing experience to be an observer to watch people go from struggling to incredible success. And what I admire about my friends is that they willingly and without asking offer help. They taught me a lot.
Today I had the pleasure of returning a favor by providing a video testimonial for my friend, Aricia La France, Founder of Satchi Fudge and Fudge Sauce. It’s a truly delicious product that comes from a family recipe. You can order online. I also have the honor of being friends with Valeri Bocage, CEO of PWI. She contributed part of her amazing story to my new upcoming book and I volunteered to let all of my connections know about her next PWI event in San Francisco. It’s almost as if my friends and I can read one another’s mind, and when we can’t we don’t mind asking for favors or providing the favor.
The win-win attitude of the people I know has made a world of difference in my business. Are you able to do the same or initiate the giving and receiving among your peers? It works for seeking work too. Two people I know well are interviewing at top notch companies simply because they made great friends in the right places. Knowing the full story, I am positive they both are well on their way to hearing HIRED!
Sourcebooks who entitled my first book, Nice Girls DO Get the Sale: Relationship Building That Gets Results was right on the money! When you build a friendship base rather than a prospect base you are bound to always enjoy a Smooth Sale!
