How To Take Action
I would suggest focusing on building strong connections with people because relationships matter a lot. Whether it's for business, friendships, or personal growth, find someone who shares your mission and values. Look for people with similar interests and backgrounds as they likely will understand you better. This can make working together easier.
If you're starting a business or improving yourself, look for someone different from you too. They can teach you new things and help you grow. Having complementary skills means you can both bring something unique to the table. This is just like me and Alex, who could teach each other a lot because we were different.
Also, remember to believe in the potential of your unique relationships, even if they don't look like others'. It's okay if what you have is different from what you see around. What's important is that it works for you and brings you value.
Here's how you can do it:
- Meet people and talk about what you're passionate about. See if they share the same excitement.
- Ask about their goals and values. This will show if you're on the same page.
- Share what you know and be open to learning from others. Everyone has something to teach.
- Build a friendship first, even in business. Trust and understanding go a long way.
- Believe in your unique connections. Don't compare too much. What's important is what feels right for you.
By doing these things, you can make meaningful relationships that can help you in many areas of your life. Remember, it's not always about having the same ideas but having the same direction and being able to learn from each other that counts the most.
