Most successful people when asked how they achieved success or reached their dreams, their success stories are full of names! Names of people; people who helped them out, people who got them introduced to other people to support them, people who mentored them, people who helped them get their dream job, people who shared with them the same passion, people who shared with them a valuable piece of information, people who believed in them more than they believed in themselves, people who gave them this one and only opportunity that turned their lives upside down or inspired their breakthrough.
Their success was no coincidence, it was because they were constantly open to getting to know new people, and they never underestimated the value of anyone or the window of opportunity that could be opened by someone. It was the relationships they developed throughout their journey that helped them get where they want, regardless whether they were aware of that or did it naturally.
If you think you can achieve something in this world on your own, I’m afraid you’re absolutely wrong. It’s all about connecting constantly with new people, and growing a network of relationships that you can leverage and serve at the same time. Never underestimate the consequences of getting introduced to someone for the first time. Missed conversations & relationships = missed opportunities.
