Your Network Is Your Net Worth

Hi friends,

I've been thinking about the quote I've heard during my graduation. The quote rings something like this, "Your network is your net-worth".

I didn't really understand it then. But it makes sooo much sense now. 

In every business, making profit is the number 1 priority. If you were to conduct business like usual, your customer is just another customer. Chances are, you'll treat them just like any other customers. However, the moment your customer is someone you know. The whole dynamic could change. Think of this situation, if you could give some leeway during a business, to whom would you extend that to? Some stranger or someone that you know? If you'd ask me, I'll definitely give the benefit to someone that I know. That is because at least at the grand scheme of things, if I were to ever interact with that person again, and the chances of this occurring is very high, we would be in good standings with each other. Maintaining a harmonious relationship contributes greatly to the overall pleasure and quality of life.

So where am I going at here? Well, imagine that you are at the opposite end of the bargain where you receive the benefits from those around you. Wouldn't that be amazing? Wouldn't that elevate your overall quality of your life too? 

Ofcourse there are plenty of caveats to this whole idea but the main idea stays. Who you know, could determine the overall quality of your life.

The lesson from this post here is that, to always look at someone with the intent of benefiting from them. Be it in terms of knowledge, work ethics, attitude or maybe even their connections. This may sound selfish but I think if we were to go at it with good intentions, it'll inadvertently make you see the good in people. And suddenly, the whole world is a better place.

What have you learned from those around you?

Fin.
