Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life: How to Unlock Your Full Potential for Success and Achievement

RELATIONSHIPS ARE EVERYTHING
Keep it foremost in your mind that relationships are everything.
Your job is to become a 
relationship-creating
individual. You should
look for every way possible—in your personal reference groups, in
your mastermind networks, in your clubs and associations, and with
mentors—to form and maintain high-quality relationships.
Most successful men and women owe their success to the fact
that, at an earlier time, they made the effort to establish and main-
tain a particular relationship that eventually paid off for them.
Doors were opened and opportunities created that saved them
years of hard work. And this can happen to you as well, if you use
creative networking at every stage of your career.
When you know that your Rolodex contains hundreds of valu-
able names that you can call upon because you have already built a
bridge with these people, it gives you a tremendous feeling of per-
sonal power and self-confidence.You begin to feel 
unstoppable
