Ross Reck: Look At Your Relationships as Investments

Relationships are investments that have an awesome return.  The reason is that personal relationships, as they develop, naturally lead to trust.  When people trust you, they get excited about going the extra mile for you because they know you’re going to reciprocate in some meaningful way–whether it be a “thank you,” a pat on the back or something more tangible.  So, take the time to really get to know those around you–and not just the people at work, but those in your personal life as well.  If you do, the next time you ask one of these people for a favor, the answer is going to be an enthusiastic “yes!” – RossReck.com
