The best way to make money...

There are a lot of ways to make money.

Some people look for new ways to make money on their J-O-B…

Other people look for ways to make money by changing jobs, adding a second job, changing careers, or starting their own home-based business.

Regardless, the best of all the ways to make money is through building relationships. All real deals and true opportunities are relationship-based. So the best way to make money is to build great relationships.

As the cliche goes, "Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are" If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights.

A mirror reflects a man’s face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses. And the simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate – for the good and the bad.

The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. And any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity.

As you grow, your associates will change. Some of your friends will not want you to go on. Friends that don’t help you climb will want you to crawl. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream.
Those that don’t increase you will eventually decrease you.

Consider This: Never receive counsel from unproductive people. Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how or that you will not succeed, either.

Not everyone has a right to speak into your life. You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person. Don’t follow anyone who’s not going anywhere!
