This is the meat and potatoes with gravy.

3 Awesome Steps

Step 1     Feel the Pain

The first is more of a dive than a step.

You know how going swimming is always a bit of an adjustment from one medium to another.
Getting wet is sometimes not the most desirable feeling. 
But the water is fine…Once you’re in, Right?

Well, getting started in a new relationship is a bit like that.

The first action is Caring.
Getting wet and uncomfortable in this new persons needs.
Feeling their pain.

People don’t care how much you know until you show how much you care.  
 It’s all about them.

Step 2    Observing the pain

Remove yourself from the Pain of the situation by immediately shooting up to ten thousand feet and watching Yourself in action
You are now in two places at once.

This is not pop psychology.
This is PAYING ATTENTION TO DETAIL.

Brian Tracey say’s “Everything Counts” and it’s true.
If it’s worth it to get involved with this person’s life
It’s worth giving them your Full Undivided Heart felt attention.
All the while …You are observing both Yourself and the other person.
Getting a God’s eye View you might say….of the Big Picture.

Ask questions. Listen. Respond. Take note. Observe.
Find a way to help in your new relationship
Observing the pain of this person.
This is the pain you will ease as a friend along the way.

Step 3  Creating a Bond

This is sowing the seed of friendship that will begin the process of relationship.
A relationship is a process.
It happens as you nurture and ease the persons pain.
And it can only work if you are willing to take as well as give.

Taking means asking.
Perhaps the most important word in success and happiness
Is the word “ask”

Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Let the other person give as well.
Give them the opportunity to participate in the new relationship.
This is the balm of friendship.
The soothing touch of someone who has responded to someone else’s pain.

These action steps are used in every bit of business we do. 

Feel the pain. Observe yourself and the pain. Ease the pain.

Take these three Actions and apply them to every aspect of your Business

They may not always be as dramatic as this but The Principles are there.
