In this business like any other there connections are so important. I know this may not be new information but we all have different talents and things we are inherently good at. The thing I am best at is sales. I like to think about it as people skills. I can and will talk to anyone about pretty much anything(annoys the hell out of my wife 🙂 ) and it leads to good conversations and the ability to build rapport quickly. That being said There are so many things I am not good at. I work to learn as much as I can on my own but I find that other people and differing ideas tend to stimulate growth. The point to all of this is that if you are looking to grow your business grow your relationships. It will help.
On another note my 4 year old took too long of a nap today and would NOT go to sleep tonight. It was awesome, but whatever sleep is for the weak.. or smart or something. I forget.
