External appearance is nothing more than a mere Window dressing to what is really going on.

In Business, especially when searching high and low for quality Business Partners ... we should definitely put requirements on other people before qualifying them as actual partners. We want to get into Relationship with them to ensure we agree that we have mutual understandings ... and if we don't, they may Know someone who they may refer to us who DO meet our Partnership standard.

My point is that we should pursue Relationship first ... and by making this priority, we will naturally Network and find whatever it is we are searching for in life and business.

The simple concept of Caring about people will take you a long way in business.

Many times in business, we do not put people first, and I have learned that whenever this is perceived by others, almost immediately, relationship is lost. Also, when communication is lost or slows down, this is first symptom of losing relationship.

You might even feel like chucking it all and joining flying Wallendas as you tour around world on your tightrope of fame, or maybe you'll just feel need to get off hamster wheel and find something new.

It's all good. It is your life, and you have right and responsibility to yourself to do what you need to do, want to do, or just would like to do.

Maybe you hate idea of leaving a job you like a lot but know there is something better you are moving towards. Perhaps you have just been there because you couldn't see yourself doing much else for one reason or another, until now. Or, like so many, you cannot wait to tell those so-and-sos what you really think of this place as you walk out door, head held high and never looking back.

But as you think about it, there come these mixed feelings. Yes, it is time to move on with your life. But I have so much freedom in this position. Not sure at all what I am getting myself into moving forward. They never respected me nor what I brought to table, forget them. I was good at what I did. I hope they can handle things without me. Boy, will they be sorry I'm gone.

It isn't always easy moving from one part of your life to another. If it was a place we liked most of time, we hope that those we leave behind will be able to handle things without us. On other hand, when we don't feel appreciated as we leave, we hope so strongly that place will just shut down by time door closes behind us.
