I Don't Build Networks. I Make Lasting Connections.

in business •  7 years ago 

Through life I have learned that there are two ways of building a "community" a "team" from within that community and then making things happen.

One of those techniques is to straight from the start pick and choose the people who seem to be "the best".

True, that is a very good technique that brings in results from the very beginning. Often enough it is the better approach.

The second approach is to make the masses and then from the masses let the best prove themselves.

Another excellent approach, that brings in numbers and results.

Either way the end result is POSITIVE!

Persistence and self discipline is the key to success to both of these approaches.

Both approaches do become a numbers game at the end of it all.

What we all need to realize is that it is not the numbers that count, but the people, people who are trustworthy, people who are reliable, people who are keen, people who are proactive and not reactive and the list goes on.

In the processes listed above, the importance is in the connecting with people and not approaching people like "numbers".

I plan on being here for the long run, so that is why I am not building "networks" but making lasting connections.

You are correct, you need to build those relationships with people. Many times people see people as numbers and that isn't how you want to grow your network. great post!

Greetings from Venezuela bro..!

a very good experience, can be a very rewarding experience for me. a very good technique in running a community. Thanks for sharing information @jackmiller.

Really, such types of connections last long.Because, these connections are among the best selected irrespective of their numbers. This process can assemble the good ideas, thoughts, perceptions of people. Thanks a lot for sharing such valuable post.

Yes exactly...quantity does not counts it's the quality that matters.

Perfect ❤️

Great idea. I don't think I've come across anywhere that pays more in making lasting connections than here on steemit.

It is the quality not the quantity that counts.
