Your relationships and business will directly affect your financial well-being. Many people are under the assumption that what they know will give them a job and allow them to make a lot of money. While degrees and certifications can help you do this, it is your relationships with people in your life that allow you to truly prosper.
Everyone has heard of a friend who knew someone that helped them get a well paying job. That same person 30 years later is returning the favor to one of his friends' children. Many people get jobs based on who they know and types of relationships they have with other people. Have you ever asked your parents how one of them got their job? I've heard many stories to where husbands have been out of work and could not find anything to do. Then, one day their wife comes home from the gym with some great news. She says to her husband, honey and met someone today who is looking for a salesman, which is just what you do. Here's his number, I told him he would call him this evening to talk with him.
There is nothing at all unusual about any scenario you hear story to where someone knows someone that knows someone that helped the first person get a job. This has been going on for many years and will continue for many years. Human beings are social creatures. We are wired to interact with other humans. Your ability to interact and form relationships will directly impact how much money you make.
At least half of the people I know got their job from someone that they knew. That job then led to them having enough money to buy their own home. From having that job, the person was able to save up enough money for a down payment to buy that new home. In order to get to work, everyone needs a mode of transportation. That job allowed the person to go by a car with the money they made at that job. It all started with you knowing someone who helped you out. Because you got the job, you are able to save money to buy a house, and make enough money each month to afford to finance a car. Without knowing that person, you may have never had the ability to get the job that you currently have.
Creating relationships is a skill that you should work towards developing from the first grade. Finding good people to associate with is a key skill to fulfillment in life. If you know how to create valuable relationships with other humans, there are many side benefits that you will get from this skill. Money is one of those side benefits.
