Learning 3: The magic is in nurturing your relationships. Be a magician!
The same philosophy applies to business. Nurturing relationships with your key stakeholders – your team, your clients, your suppliers – pays back tenfold. Your team will work through the tough times because they know you have looked after them. Clients stick by you and refer you to others because they trust you. Suppliers go out of their way to help you meet urgent deadlines because they enjoy working with you.
Investing time in your relationships is an investment in a greater you. Your key stakeholders keep the cogs of your business turning, especially when it matters most.
