"Meeting - Meeting - Meeting"

Hello

Just a week ago I was at our Coaches and Consultants Cash-Creation Superconference; a three day event with loads of different speakers all sharing their ideas on how to be even more successful in the ‘advice-professionals’ field.

And...

Our keynote speaker was none other than James Caan – the latest member of the now famous BBC TV programme: Dragons’ Den.

So...

I thought you might be interested to know about just one of the ideas he shared that had made him so successful – a multi-millionaire.

Here it is:

It’s all about the people!

Yes...

James explained his thoughts that to be successful in business you have to have the right people with you and – they are often hard to find.

He went on to say – that he spends a great deal of his time just meeting people – not knowing, at the initial stage, if there might be a good connection.

Often...

It can be up to a year before the person joins him in some business adventure.

And even more important...

When he thinks he has found someone with whom he can work – he spends a great deal of time with them before suggesting they do business together. He meets up with them on a regular basis, eats with them, meets their family – keeps meeting until he’s as certain as can be that the relationship will work and that they are the RIGHT person.

I’m certain you and I can agree...

With James’s comments – yes?

Our success in life is created through people – the people we work with, the people who are our suppliers, the people who are our customers or clients – it’s all about the people.

And so...

Perhaps like James we need to be meeting more people without knowing, to start with, just how we might interact with them in the future.

Good idea? I think so

Go on then
