Quotes about Relationships

When they find someone who can communicate something of value to them, they will usually listen.

That's what connectors do. They tell you about yourself.

Connecting is vital for any person who wants to achieve success. It is essential for anyone who wants to build great relationships. You will only be able to reach your potential—regardless of your profession or chosen path—when you learn to connect with other people. Otherwise, you'll be like a nuclear power plant disconnected from the grid. You'll have incredible resources and potential, but you will never be able to put them to use.

You must think of people before you try to achieve progress. To do that as a permissional leader, you must exhibit a consistent mood, maintain an optimistic attitude, possess a listening ear, and present to others your authentic self.

Charles "Tremendous" Jones said that the only difference between who you are today and the person you will be in five years will come from the books you read and the people you associate with.

If you do not connect with others, influence is out of the question.

Excellence connects.

So why do some people emerge as leaders while others can't influence no matter how hard they try? I believe that several factors come into play: 1. Character—who they are 2. Relationships—who they know 3. Knowledge—what they know 4. Intuition—what they feel 5. Experience—where they've been 6. Past Success—what they've done 7. Ability—what they can do

the difference between who you are today and who you will be in five years will be the people you spend time with and the books you read.

People will not always remember what you said. They will not always remember what you did. But, they will always remember how you made them feel.

KEY CONCEPT: Connecting begins when the other person feels valued.

It may sound corny, but it's really true: people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.
