2011 Should Be All About Relationships

For Impact Ideas | | Tom Suddes

Robert T. Kiyosaki, the prolific author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, says:

“There’s only one rule of financial success:

Know the difference between a LIABILITY and an ASSET.”

The FOR IMPACT corollary is also very simple:

There is only one rule of funding success:

Know the difference between a TRANSACTION and a RELATIONSHIP!!!

Every FOR IMPACT organization in the world should be focused on RELATIONSHIPS! Read the following definition by Martha Rogers and Don Peppers, the gurus of One-to-One Enterprises; and FOCUS on EVERY WORD!

“A RELATIONSHIP is (1) a CONTINUING SERIES of (2) COLLABORATIVE INTERACTIONS (3) INHERENTLY UNIQUE to the INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPANT.”
